Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

As the world continues to advance in various sectors, significant developments in energy and infrastructure have been reported. Here's a summary of the most critical information:

Sudan's cement production capacity has been enhanced with ASEC Engineering managing the Alsalam Cement Production Company cement plant near Atbara. The plant, which produces approximately 2,000 tons of clinker per day, has a three-year contract with ASEC for technical management services. This development is a significant step towards enhancing Sudan's cement production capacity.

Meanwhile, in Oman, Parsons Brinckerhoff has been awarded a contract to assess the country's development strategy for power generation and transmission systems. The network will cover a large part of Oman's interior and be operated by Petroleum Development of Oman (PDO), a joint venture between the Government of Oman and international oil and gas companies.

In addition, Alitalia has received its first new Airbus A330-200 aircraft, configured in a three-class layout, featuring a premium economy class and an updated business class. The aircraft will seat 230 passengers and be used on Alitalia's transatlantic routes.

Furthermore, Egypt and Saudi Arabia have signed a contract for a $2.5 million project to build a power cable linking the two countries. The 1,300km long cable will have a power exchange capacity of 3,000 megawatts. Additionally, Saudi Arabian Fertiliser Co (Safco), an affiliate of Saudi Basic Industries Corp, has halted production at its third ammonia plant due to a technical glitch, which may continue until July 22.
