Bahri Marine
About Bahri Marine
Bahri has expanded its business into new sectors through a 20-year agreement with Saudi Arabia’s Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) to establish three floating desalination barges capable of processing 150,000 cubic meters of seawater per day using cutting-edge treatment processes. The barges utilize industry-leading innovations including reverse osmosis treatment, remineralization, and integrated ultrafiltration, and will contribute to supplying high-quality potable water for use across the Kingdom.
Bahri joined forces with Metito in a spirit of partnership to execute the floating desalination project as Engineering, Design, and Construction (EPC) contractor. Metito is a global player in water and alternative energy management solutions, with vast experience in seawater desalination projects.
As the lead contractor and enabler for the project, Metito will utilize state-of-the-art technologies and spare no effort to build a platform that will enable Bahri to deliver exceptional value to SWCC and support the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
