The Aqaba oil terminal is one of Jordan’s national infrastructure priorities. This rehabilitation project is vital for the terminal to increase the handling capacity. The oil terminal is an important element in the country’s long-term economic growth, as it is the sole source for energy security.
The oil terminal is located on the south shore of Aqaba, next to the LPG terminal that was recently executed by our company. The main aim of the rehabilitation is to enable the oil terminal to handle approximately 14 million tons of crude oil annually
RACC had the privilege to be part of constructing several milestone projects in Jordan in various fields, including buildings, infrastructure and landscaping, industrial, earthworks and some other challenging fields.
