Global contracting company BAM International on Tuesday announced that it, in conjunction with its joint venture (JV) partner civil engineering construction contractor Stefanutti Stocks, had been awarded the contract for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of a petroleum jetty at the Kissy Oil Terminal of Freetown, in Sierra Leone.

The JV would design and complete the project, which would provide a key import and export facility for the country, and a modern export base for ethanol, over a one-year period for trading and downstream company Oryx Energies’ local affiliate PetroJetty, BAM International said in a statement.

The new jetty would comprise a 240 m steel trestle on steel piles with a concrete offloading platform of 12 m X 25 m, four mooring dolphins, two breasting dolphins and a fender rack.

BAM International sister company BAM Leidingen & Industrie would engineer and supply the hose tower, the fire fighting system and the piping and electrical components for the top works of the structure.

BAM and Stefanutti had recently also completed a new jetty and renovated and extended an existing jetty as part of the ongoing rehabilitation of iron-ore miner African Minerals’ loading facility in Pepel, near Freetown.

In addition to this, the JV had also placed a string of navigation aids along the Sierra Leone river, to facilitate ship movements by day and by night.
