The project is being undertaken as part of a collaborative project with sister company BAM International and its Jordanian joint-venture partner MAG Engineering & Contracting.
BAM was awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of the LNG jetty in November 2013.
The work includes a 100 metre trestle on steel piles, a concrete off-loading platform of 20 x 20 metres, four mooring dolphins and two breasting dolphins.

The development will also consist of a 700 metre long gas pipeline to the shore tie-in point, as well as associated control equipment and instrumentation. The development of the terminal area including roads and two buildings also belongs to the contract.
Substructure works for the terminal building are nearing completion, BAM said, while substructure works for the administration building have commenced.
The project marks the third for BAM in Aqaba. The joint venture has already completed the New Port in Aqaba for the same client earlier this year and the extension of the Container Terminal for APMT and ADC in 2013.
