Testing of the new line, which has a capacity of 10,000tpd, will be completed before the end of this year, the statement said. Yanbu said it took this step, which will curb supplies, after Saudi Aramco failed to provide the cement maker with the required fuel.
However, Saudi Aramco denied it was responsible for any of the stoppages. Yanbu Cement should have secured the required amount of fuel for the expansion and the operation of its fifth production line before starting the operation,” Saudi Aramco, based in Dhahran, said today in a statement.
