Project Name: Doha Qatar New Port (NPP) Project

Host Country: Qatar

Project Duration: January 2011- June 2015

The construction contract undertaken by the CHEC is Phase I of the project, with a contract amount of about 880 million US dollars consisting of 11 terminals, i.e. container terminals (number1 to 3), general cargo terminals, vehicle terminal yacht terminal, maritime terminal, coastguard terminal, offshore supply terminal, livestock terminal, and flour mill terminal. The main construction contents consist of the land dig-interior port basin excavation (70.7 million m3), construction of water-breaks and revetment (10km), construction of gravity block quay structure (8.1km), and land reclamation. The whole construction process adopts the method of dewatering. The construction commenced on January 24th, 2011, and completed on schedule on June 28th, 2015. There are six construction nodes in A-F, all of which were completed on schedule.

While Qatar is an important node of the maritime Silk Road in the Middle East, the Doha New Port Project, located on the coast of the Persian Gulf and in the southeast of Qatar, is the largest dig-interior port project in the history of human port construction.

As a superior milestone project in the field of economic cooperation opened by the Chinese and Qatari governments, the project is a critical project in the overall planning of Qatar's national infrastructure construction and one of the critical projects for hosting the 2022 Qatar world cup. The project is of great and far-reaching significance to the development of Qatar's economy and the improvement of Qatar's trade competitiveness with neighboring countries. After the completion of the project and as a modern port with a draft of 18 m and a port pool area of nearly 4 million m2, it will achieve a throughput capacity of 6 million TEUs / year, 1.7 million tons of groceries/year, one million tons of grain/year and 500,000 vehicles/year. As the largest port in Qatar at present, according to the assessment and expectations, the port can basically meet the port throughput demand required by the social and economic development of Qatar in the next 20-30 years.

In 2018, the project won the "Luban Award for China Construction Engineering".
