Sierra Leone: MACCEM will build a 0.56Mt/yr cement grinding plant in Hastings, Freetown, on a 4.4-hectare site near the Hastings Airstrip and the Jui-Masiaka Highway, according to the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The site already houses the producer’s cement bagging plant, with civil works for the grinding plant underway. Site clearing and levelling were completed in July 2024. The remaining construction is expected to take 12-15 months.

Clinker for the plant will be imported and transported by road from the Queen Elizabeth II Quay at the Port of Freetown. The IFC is considering a debt financing package of up to US$24m.
