State firm pushes back deadline for fourth time
Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) has extended the deadline for companies to bid on sulphur treatment facilities at its Mina al-Ahmadi refinery for a fourth time.
KNPC tendered the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract in late April, setting an initial bid deadline for 19 June. Bids have now been pushed back from 20 September to 11 October, according to sources familiar with the project.
The work will include building:
- Liquid sulphur storage tanks
- Liquid sulphur feed pumps
- Granulator units
- A belt conveyor system
- A longitudinal stockyard for solid sulphur
- A stacking machine
- A reclaiming machine
- A ship loader
- Associated facilities
The new scheme is connected to a previous contract to upgrade solid sulphur-handling and ship-loading facilities at Mina al-Ahmadi, which was won by South Koreas Daelim in 2013. The contract won by Daelim had a value of $519m.
