The Al-Sokhna Port Development Company (SPDC) is evaluating bids for two construction contracts worth a total of about $60 million. Five companies have submitted offers for the contract to dredge the port to a depth of 17 metres. They include Ballast Ham Dredging and Royal Boskalis Westminster, both of the Netherlands, and Belgium's Dredging International.
Four companies submitted offers for a second contract to construct the 400-metre jetty and quay wall. They include Orascom Construction Industries, and Arab Contractors (Osman Ahmed Osman & Company), both local, and Geneva-registered Archirodon Construction (Overseas). SPDC expects to make awards by the end of the year and for work on both packages to begin in early 2007. The jetty will serve as a storage facility for petrochemicals and oil products (MEED 24:2:06).
