9% throughput rise at Petersburg Oil Terminal


Year-on-year throughput of oil products increases in September 2010.

Russia’s JSC Petersburg Oil Terminal reports that it loaded 9.1 million tons of oil products during the first nine months of 2010.

The figure, which includes approximately 6.5 million tonnes of heavy fuels, is said to be on a par with volumes loaded during the corresponding period last year.

During the month of September 1.2 million tonnes of oil products were loaded, which represents a 100,000-tonne, or 9 percent, increase in throughput year-on-year.

The total included 885,000 tonnes of dark oil products, a rise of 86,000 tonnes over the same period last year.

Petersburg Oil Terminal (POT) is the largest Russian facility for oil products in the Baltic Sea region. The terminal complex is equipped to accept delivery of both clean and dirty oil products, including high viscosity fuel oil. The annual throughput capacity of the terminal is approximately 12 million tons.

Oil products are delivered to the terminal by rail, pipeline and by water. Loading is via sea vessels and road transport.

The modern shore tanks of the terminal have a capacity of 354,000 cubic metres (cbm) and can store a wide variety of oil products. According to POT, there is no requirement for a clear-cut division into dirty and clean shore tanks as the tanks are general purpose and can be switched from one type of oil product to another at short notice
