01 July 2013

Oman: The board of directors at Oman's Raysut Cement has announced that it will give the green light to the firm's plans for a series of expansion moves, both at home and abroad.

The facilities will include two silos, each with a capacity of 4000t. The port plan is expected to commence operation in the second half of 2014.

The Raysut board has also given approval for the establishment of a modern state‐of‐the‐art cement terminal at Berbera Port in Somalia. The construction, to be undertaken as a joint venture with local partners, will see storage, packing and distribution of cement from three 4000t silos.
