Full Description

Project narrative

An unspecified Chinese financial institution provided a $3.26 million USD seller's credit to China Chengda Engineering Co. (中国成达工程有限公司) for the Caustic Soda Plant Construction Project in Sudan. It is unclear when the Chinese bank committed to financing this project. The loan terms are unknown. This project involved constructing a 15 ton daily capacity caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) plant in Gezira State, installing equipment, and providing technical assistance to Sudan's state-owned checmical company under the Ministry of Industry and Trade. China Chengda Engineering Co. LTD was the contractor responsible for implementation. After 16 months of work (starting in December 2002), the plant was put into operation on 6 April 2004.

Staff comments

The Chinese project title is 苏丹第一家日产15吨隔膜烧碱厂 or 苏丹家产烧碱厂. This loan is not included in the database of Chinese loan commitments that SAIS-CARI released in July 2020. For now, AidData codes the commitment year as 2002 since that is approximately when construction began.
