DP World said yesterday it has signed two major contracts for construction work at its new Container Terminal 4 (project was first announced in 2015, of which phase1 is included in our forecasts) on a reclaimed island in Jebel Ali Port. - Under phase 1, Dutco Balfour Beatty will develop an operational yard area with a quay length of 1,200m. BAM International Abu Dhabi will build a 400m bridge and adjacent causeways and the 2.2km quay wall with an alongside depth of 18 metres, designed to accommodate the largest mega container vessels. CH2M HILL (Halcrow) will deliver the civil works on the reclaimed island north of Jebel Ali's Terminal 2, connected to the mainland by a 3,000 metre causeway.   Terminal 4 will add 3.1 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) by 2018, taking Jebel Ali Port's total capacity to 22.1 million TEU. DP World will further expand Terminal 4's capacity to a total of 7.8 million TEU in line with market demand under phase 2.
