Marine Project

New Kissy Oil Jetty for Oryx Energies, Peninsula Freetown, Sierra Leone 2013-2015

The Project Scope

This project entailed the design and construction of a new fuel import facility to support the safe importation of fuels into Sierra Leone. The new jetty replaced the existing facility, which was beyond its operational lifespan and did not conform to international standards. Stefanutti Stocks and its joint venture partner were awarded the project on an EPC FIDIC Silver Book Contract basis, in 2013.

The turnkey scope of works began with design, followed by construction work consisting of:

  • a steel piled substructure with mooring and berthing dolphins,
  • a prefabricated superstructure for both liquid product lines,
  • a firefighting system, and
  • the final testing and commissioning of the system.

The design was optimised by using prefabricated steel structures manufactured in the Netherlands. This resulted in no delay due to the lack of local supplies and ensured a rapid construction programme. The project, that commenced in early 2014 was delayed for eight months due to the Ebola epidemic. Once the epidemic receded the staff were remobilised and the project was successfully completed in 2015.
