Bunnik, the Netherlands, 15 May 2013 - The president of the Republic of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, will officially open the APM Terminals facility, built by BAM, on 22 May 2013. BAM International completed the 600-metre quay wall in the capital city Monrovia for APM Terminals two weeks ahead of the contractual completion date.
BAM International constructed the project in three phases of approximately 200 metres long to minimize interference with on-going port operations.
The final and third phase of the project was taken over by APMT on 29 April 2013. The lessons learnt from the first two phases and the efficiency gains through logistics, improved production outputs and planning of on-site activities, largely contributed towards the early and successful hand over of the project.
