It is expected to expand capacity at Jebel Ali by 4 million TEUs and will open in 2014, according to DP World. The current capacity at Jebel Ali port, which is the busiest in the region, is 15 million TEUs a year. Terminal 1 can handle 10 million TEUs and Terminal 2 can handle 5 million. Other companies that were prequalified for the contract included Geneva-registered Archirodon Construction, the local/Belgian Bel Hasa Six Construct, China Harbour, the local/UK Dutco Balfour Beatty, South Korea’s Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Brazil’s Odebrecht, and Turkey’s STFA. In February, DP World awarded Archirodon Construction the estimated AED150m contract to build the expansion of Terminal 2 at Jebel Ali Port. Those works involve the construction of 400m of new quay wall that will increase the capacity of Terminal 2 by about 1 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs).
