Project specification :

In 2012, the Singapore Ports Authority (PSA) and Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) jointly invested in the Container Terminal 2 project at King Abdulaziz Port, Dammam City, eastern province of Saudi Arabia. The CHEC won the bid in competition with many well-known deep-sea engineering contractors in the world.

The project consists of a 700m quay, an 800m revetment, a 450000 m2 container yard, a 25000m water and electricity pipe network system, and the construction of 18 buildings and facilities. After the completion of the project, it can berth 150000 TEUs of super Panamanian ships and achieve the annual throughput of 900000 TEUs. The project is an EPC contract project with a contract amount worth 180 million US dollars. The construction commenced in July 2012 and completed in March 2015. The project has been highly appraised and unanimously recognized by the owner during the construction process.

Characteristics and Significance of the Project:

Dammam Port of Saudi Arabia, a large commercial port located on the northeast coast of Saudi Arabia and close to the west side of the Persian Gulf, is not only the second largest port in Saudi Arabia but also one of the largest ports in the Persian Gulf. The throughput of the port has maintained a strong growth rate of two figures for many years. It is urgent to expand the port and improve the infrastructure to provide the throughput growth rate again. Against this background, a consortium led by the PSA won a 30-year project contract for the container terminal at Dammam Port in 2011. The PSA and Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund established a joint venture company Saudi Global Ports in Saudi Arabia to develop, operate and manage the Dammam Port container terminal in Saudi Arabia.

In December 2018, the project won the "16th Tien-yow Jeme Civil Engineering Prize".

The first port infrastructure project of PSA in Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Gulf, aims to transform Dammam Port into the preferred berthing terminal for container shifts in the region, to support regional trade and commercial development. The completion of the project will increase the annual throughput of Dammam Port to 2.4 million TEUs, better meeting the rapid operation development needs of the port. Meanwhile, the terminal will transport goods to the inland areas through the port railway and expressway network, strongly supporting the growth of regional trade, meeting regional transport needs, and playing an important role in promoting the economic development of Saudi Arabia and its surrounding areas.

The first EPC project is jointly completed by the CHEC and PSA， one of the largest port operators in the world, and as the collaborator of CHEC. The completion of the project won the trust of PSA, expanded the influence of the CHEC, consolidated the CHEC's good reputation in the Saudi market, and laid a solid foundation for the subsequent successful development and operation in the Saudi market.
