(MENAFN) The Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC) signed a $240 million agreement with the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC) under which the latter will develop, build and operate a new phosphate port over 30 years, Petra reported.
The new phosphate port, which will have an average annual handling capacity of approximately four million tons, will include a 280-metre-long berth equipped with handling equipment, the ADC said in a statement.
The agreement stipulates that the port will be ready for operation by mid 2012 and that it will operate in line with the master plan of Aqaba Ports and according to international best practices.
