BAM JV completes $88mn new Aqaba Port in Jordan.

BAM International has successfully completed the construction of Jordan's new Aqaba Port on behalf of Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC).

Together with its Jordanian joint venture partner MAG, BAM was responsible for the design and construction of four new berths (in total approximately 800 metres quay wall), revetment works, a breakwater, marine services, pontoons and a slip way. Furthermore land reclamation and dredging works (800,000 m3) as well as the construction of two intake pipes and one outfall pipe was included in the €65mn ($88.5mn) contract.

Last year BAM completed the container terminal for ADC en APMT in Aqaba and the company is currently building the Aqaba New Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal, 18km south of Aqaba for ADC.

The LNG terminal forms part of ADC’s plan for developing Aqaba’s energy ports, with the government having tasked it to develop Jordan’s energy intake capabilities to ensure a consistent supply of energy fuels such as oil, LNG and LPG.
