Arabian Cement Company announced the latest update of the EPC project of new cement mills in Rabigh plant. Due to the fact that the contractor (CNBM) was unable to arrive to Saudi Arabia to resume project activities till date, therefore, the expected completion date of the project, according to the contractor's latest statement, China National Building Materials Corporation (CNBM) is the third quarter of 2022 if CNBM was able to secure the approval of the related government agency in China for their team to travel to Saudi Arabia. Hence, the expected commercial operation date is expected to be the fourth quarter of 2022. The contractor is also studying the option to subcontract the remaining site works to a qualified subcontractor subject to Arabian Cement approval. Due to the contractor's failure to adhere to the schedule and the current conditions causing suspension of travel due to spread of Corona virus (CoVid-19), the contractor was unable to complete the installations and commissioning work necessary for operation and testing of equipment by the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) due to the absence of the contractor's team at the site project at the moment.
