OCP Group SA has partnered with Italian engineering firm Bedeschi SpA in a project to equip three of the Moroccan phosphate group’s automated storage facilities at the Atlantic port of Laâyoune, according to a Morocco World News report.
The port, in the disputed Western Sahara region, handles OCP’s Phosboucraâ subsidiary exports and imports.
Two of the facilities are for fertilizer and the other for sulfur, with combined capacity of around 300,000 mt.
The equipment will include material handling equipment for the storage of imported sulfur and the storage of fertilizer for export, as well as reclaimers, conveyor belts, and trippers.
