Bahrain LNG import terminal

Meeting Bahrain’s growing energy needs through innovative marine infrastructure

Bahrain’s LNG Import Terminal was developed to support the Kingdom’s increasing demand for natural gas, essential for both industrial and urban growth. Six Construct was entrusted with the design and construction of the marine structures, including a double berth jetty and a protective breakwater. The project showcases BESIX’s offshore expertise and commitment to delivering complex infrastructure under challenging conditions.

Project overview

Awarded at the end of 2015, the Bahrain LNG Import Terminal project involved the design and construction of key marine infrastructure to accommodate Floating Storage Units (FSU) and LNG carriers. The scope included a double berth jetty and a 500-metre-long, 15-metre-deep breakwater. BESIX Engineering led the design phase, and the site team was mobilized following the Final Notice to Proceed in November 2016. The project was successfully completed in 2018.
