About the asset
The terminal was built for one berth and 2.5 million barrels of storage, and it has run at the limit of both since 2022 — tankers waited, and inland production was occasionally choked back to match the loading window rather than the other way round.
The expansion adds two 780,000-barrel floating-roof tanks and a second berth capable of taking Suezmax vessels at 8,000 cubic metres an hour. A vapour recovery unit serving both berths and the tank farm captures 96% of the hydrocarbon vapour displaced during loading, which was the terminal's single largest emissions source.
Marine work is sequenced around the summer swell season and the turtle nesting window on the adjacent beach, both of which were fixed constraints in the schedule from the first day of planning rather than accommodations made later.
Scope of work
- Two floating-roof tanks with full secondary containment
- Second loading berth, trestle and marine loading arms
- Vapour recovery unit serving both berths and the tank farm
- Firewater upgrade, foam system and revised emergency response
- Custody metering, blending and tank gauging replacement
- Dredging and navigation study for the approach channel
