Both the Phosphate and Aluminium Projects rely on the successful development and operation of several substantial infrastructure projects. These are:

			The port for exporting DAP and ammonia in the case of the Phosphate Project and for the import of raw materials, and export of alumina and aluminium in the case of the Aluminium Project;
			The Railway project to transport the phosphate and bauxite ore from Al Jalamid and Az Zabirah (respectively) to Ras Az Zawr; and
			Certain common infrastructure facilities to service both the Phosphate and Aluminium Projects. These facilities will be developed by InfraCo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ma'aden. InfraCo’s scope includes facilities such as serviced land, roads, drainage, lighting and a power grid connection as well as accommodation.

Port
A new Port will be constructed, operated and maintained by the Saudi Ports Authority . It will service industrial and mining operations located at Ras Az Zawr including the import and export requirements associated with the Aluminium and Phosphate Projects. The new Port will be located at Ras Az Zawr, approximately 80 km northeast of Al Jubail.

Railway
The PIF (a division of the Ministry of Finance) is undertaking the development of a new north-south railway line from Riyadh to Haditha. The mineral line will be approximately 1,500 km long linking the phosphate mine at Al Jalamid and the bauxite mine at Az Zabirah to the processing facilities at Ras Az Zawr.
