In a bid to meet the growing demand for Clean Petroleum Products in South America, VTTI Argentina has recently expanded its operations. The company has inaugurated two new storage tanks at its terminal in Zarate, Argentina, which will significantly increase its storage capacity by 10 percent. With a combined capacity of 22,600 m3, these tanks are a crucial step in addressing the rising demand for CPP in the Southern cone of South America.
Hugo Geurdes, the general manager of VTTI Argentina, expressed his satisfaction with the project’s successful completion and emphasised the company’s readiness to serve its customers. He also highlighted that this expansion aligns with VTTI’s 2028 Strategy, which focuses on investing in existing terminal infrastructure in key markets.
VTTI Argentina remains committed to safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility while catering to evolving customer needs. The new tanks seamlessly integrate into the company’s existing infrastructure, providing customers with enhanced flexibility and improved connectivity to maritime and truck-loading facilities.
Furthermore, VTTI Argentina is actively exploring opportunities to diversify its business and enhance its physical and digital infrastructure. This demonstrates the company’s dedication to staying ahead of industry trends and meeting the evolving demands of the market.
The formal inauguration of the new tanks, known as ‘Phase V,’ took place on June 27, 2024, in the presence of the ambassador of the Netherlands to Argentina, along with clients and stakeholders. This event marked an important milestone for VTTI Argentina and its contributions to the energy infrastructure sector.
Since its establishment in 1978, the terminal in Zarate has played a vital role in the VTTI portfolio. Situated strategically in the Port of Zarate, the terminal facilitates the efficient distribution of energy, chemical, and fertilizer products through various means of transportation, including barges, vessels, and trucks. The continuous growth and strong demand have propelled VTTI Argentina to undertake ambitious expansions, with the addition of the two new tanks bringing the total capacity of the terminal to 252,000 m3.
