Name of the Project
IEFCL fertiliser plant expansion.

Location
Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

Client
Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals Limited (IEFCL).

Project Description
IEFCL plans to build a new fertiliser plant adjacent to the existing facility, which is now operating at full capacity. It will double the company’s output to 2.8-million metric tonnes a year. The new plant will share the existing infrastructure that supplies energy, water and port facilities.

The infrastructure at the adjacent Port of Onne is to be expanded to meet the needs of the enlarged fertiliser plant. An additional 11 km of new gas pipeline that serves the IEFCL facility has been added to the 84 km installed when the present plant was constructed.

Potential Job Creation
About 3 830 jobs will be created during construction and 608 permanent positions.

Value
$1.1-billion.

Duration
Construction is expected to take up to 37 months.

Latest Developments
The Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund (EAIF) announced the financial close of its
11-year $35-million loan to IEFCL in August.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
None stated.

On Budget and on Time?
Too early to state.
