The local AA Nass Contracting has won a BD 6 million ($15.8 million) contract for the construction of a new jetty for Aluminium Bahrain (Alba).

The jetty will have capacity to handle ships of 60,000 dwt. It is part of Alba's $400 million coke plant project which involves the construction of a 450,000-tonne-a-year coke calcining plant and a 41,000-cubic-metre-a- day seawater desalination plant.
