Throughput rise at Petersburg Oil Terminal


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



Russia’s Petersburg Oil Terminal (POT) reports that the company recorded a 36,000-tonne rise in the amount of oil products handled during the month of October in a comparison with the previous year.

POT handled 1.2 million tonnes of oil products last month, including 866,000 tonnes of dark oil products.

Over the 10-month period between January and October 2010 POT said it transshipped 10.2 million tonnes of oil products. The figure includes 7.4 million tonnes of dark oil products,

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,

Terminal Expansion

POT is reported to be planning the construction of a 40,000 cubic metre storage facility for exported petroleum products at the terminal.

The new facility is expected to cost approximately $25 million and is scheduled to enter into operation by April-May 2012.

Once completed, the terminal's total storage capacity will be almost 400,000 cubic metres.
