Hassan Ali Al Majed, director general of Bahrain's General Organisation of Seaports, has announced plans for a major upgrade of the kingdom's Khalifa Bin Salman

Port. The upgrade will include a new parking area for 40,000 vehicles, a number of warehouses, two office buildings and other facilities like petrol stations and banks. Work is expected to start in the next two months and will take two years to complete, he said. Bahrain's old Mina Salman Port would soon be converted into a dock exclusively handling construction materials, Al Majed said.
