Oil throughput rise at St. Petersburg terminal


Transshipment of oil products increases by 8.5 percent year-on-year during the month of June.

Russia’s Petersburg Oil Terminal has recorded a rise in throughput of 87,000 tonnes year-on-year according to data released for June 2009.

Last month the terminal handled 1.1 million tonnes of oil products compared to 1.013 million tonnes during the same period last year - a rise of 8.5 percent. The figure includes 806,000 tonnes of dirty oil products.

During the first six months of 2009, the terminal recorded a 200,000-tonne increase in oil products handled year-on-year. In total, 5.9 million tonnes of oil products were transshiped, including 4.2 million tonnes of dirty oil products.

The facility operates the largest Russian terminal for oil products in the Baltic Sea region. It provides the services of transshipment and storage of oil products for export, as well as bunkering.

In addition, the company conducts quality analysis of oil products, and accepts and treats slops discharged from vessels calling at the Port of St. Petersburg.

Last year, the terminal transshipped 11.8 million tonnes of oil products. The figure was 300,000 tonnes higher than in 2007 and included 8.4 million tonnes of dirty oil products.
