Port Location:The port is situated in a very condensed area which made the necessary expansion very difficult.
Draft Limitations: MSP can not receive ships with a draft of over 10 m. The channel cannot be dredged anymore because of the cap rock after which the sea water will mix with the sweet water below the sea bed.
Infrastructure:Mina Salman’s infrastructure aging and not economically feasible to invest in upgrading.

Bahrain made a decision to privatize its ports in June 2002.
In January 2005, the government requested for final bids from three companies.
On July 11th 2005, APM Terminals was selected as preferred bidder to negotiate
final terms and conditions.
On December 2006 the Government awarded APM Terminals Bahrain concession
of 25 years covering Mina Salman and KBSP ports.
