Philippines: A new 7-hectare port and industrial complex, valued at over US$51m, is under construction in Lemery, Batangas. The complex includes the Sinisian Lemery Batangas port and industrial park, Lemery cement silo tank and Lemery oil terminal, with each component costing around US$17m.

The port will support Panamax-sized vessels with a draft depth of 15m, while the cement silo will hold 60,000t of bulk cement and slag. The project is expected to generate at least 200 jobs and help meet the country's fuel security needs amidst ongoing global supply chain disruptions.

Egypt: Abu Dhabi Ports Group subsidiary Transcargo International (TCI) is building a bulk cement terminal at Arish port in North Sinai Governorate. The company says that the facility will be equipped with six 10,000t cement silos. Four silos will store up to 40,000t of grey cement, while two will store up to 20,000t/yr of white cement. Cementir Holding subsidiary Sinai White Portland Cement has signed a cooperation agreement with TCI to use the Arish cement terminal. TCI says that the terminal will serve multiple markets worldwide and help Sinai White Portland Cement to raise its total export volumes, thereby also raising its competitiveness.

TCI’s CEO Mohamed El Ahwal said "This project aligns with our commitment to support Egyptian exports by providing specialised logistics solutions across several industries. Building and operating Egypt’s first bulk cement terminal, we anticipate cost savings for cement producers in Egypt, making prices more competitive globally and increasing global market penetration."

Tunisia: Geometrica has released details of bulk-storage structures built for Carthage Cement at its Djebel Ressas cement plant in 2013. The dome and space frame structure builder supplied three storage buildings for additives, coal and limestone. The additives and coal longitudinal buildings are 200m and 300m long respectively with a span of 50m. The limestone building is a 90m circular dome.

Carthage Cement contracted FLSmidth to supply machinery and engineering at the 5800t/day cement plant. Turkish contractor, EKON, was FLSmidth's partner for the civil works, including civil design, supply of structural steel and plate work, site preparation, plant erection. Construction at the plant started in late 2010 and was completed in 2013.
