The Port of Fujairah has awarded a contract to develop top side facilities at Oil Terminal 2 to Topaz Energy and Marine subsidiary Nico International.

Commenting on the news, B.S. Motwani, deputy general manager of Topaz’s onshore fabrication business said "Since 1981, Topaz has been actively involved in the development of the Port of Fujairah. Our long-term strategy in Fujairah is closely linked with our strong partnerships with the Port of Fujairah and the Emirate as a whole. Our significant investments over the years have paid dividends and this contract signing is the latest in a string of contract awards."
