Oman’s Raysut Cement Somaliland terminal on track

Raysut Cement said its project with Barwaaqo Cement Co in Berbera, Somaliland, is progressing well.

The Oman-based cement producer signed a joint venture agreement with the Barwaaqo Cement Co in September 2014 for building a 12,000t bagging and distribution terminal at Berbera. The project reflects an investment of US$7.5m and is expected to support the company’s expansion.

At its Raysut works, the company also plans to install a 150tph rotary packing machine with an auto truck-loader, with an additional attachment for a palletised sling bag to provide larger and faster capability of packing cement in bags.
