LNG infrastructure planned for Algerian port
The Sonatrach Group and China Harbor Engineering Company (CHEC) have signed a contract for the supply and construction of an LNG marine jetty and marine and port infrastructure located in the Port of Skikda in Algeria.
The ‘El Djedid’ project, which has a contractual amount of nearly 53bn DZD and is expected to be completed in 28 months, aims to optimise LNG production, the loading of large-capacity LNG carriers up to 220,000 m3. and the loading of tankers ranging between 50,000 and 250,000t.
This project will also include the conversion of the existing LNG substation for LPG, the adaptation of the existing station for the unloading of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and the construction of a new berth for ships with a storage area of up to 15 hectares.
Listed in the Sonatrach Strategy for 2030 (SH 2030), the construction of a new LNG jetty and the extension of the oil port also aims to enable berthing of large capacity vessels, to open additional market prospects for Algerian LNG.
