PSA International subsidiary, Saudi Global Ports (SGP) has confirmed an agreement for three new quay cranes at King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam.

Between 2019 and 2021, within two separate contracts over a period of four months each, SFT delivered a total of 34 CSS Cell Fender Systems, 32 CSS 1250 including steel spacers, 2 Double CSS 800 and 52 steel spacers for existing fenders to the Libertador Simón Bolivar Container and Multipurpose Terminal.
The process was part of improvement works that included dredging and deepening, which included installation of a submerged combi wall to retain the strength of the pier foundation despite the deepening works.
SFT explained that the solution was both ideal for the required conditions at the terminal: CSS Cell Fender Systems with steel spacers to provide sufficient clearance between the vessels and the submerged combi wall.”
The refurbished terminal now has a depth of 12.5 meters and is capable of receiving Neopanamax vessels.
