Hyundai Engineering and Construction (E&C) announced on July 10 that it has signed US$2.7 billion contracts with Saudi Aramco to execute Package 6 and Package 12 of the Marjan Development Program.
A contract signing ceremony was held at the Saudi Aramco Dharan Office in Saudi Arabia on July 8 with the attendance of officials from the two companies, including Amin H.
