Ben Roberts of constructionweekonline.com reports that Aramco will cancel plans for Jazan Economic City’s port tender as it moves its planned oil refinery location.
Jazan is one of four planned “economic cities” by the Kingdom in a massive, unprecedented effort to diversify and modernize the economy. Jazan is “situated in an area of abundant raw materials and along the shipping route, the City will occupy 103km2 with a coastline of approximately 12km. To the east of the site is the high motorway, allowing direct access to Jizan City,” writes Roberts.
