Russian authorities have granted the Petersburg Oil Terminal in St Petersburg, Russia, to commission a new 40,000 m3 tank.
Mikhail Skigin, chairman at Petersburg Oil Terminal, said: “The commissioning of a new tank with a capacity of 40,000 m3 will allow us to start the renovation project of the old part of POT.
“Now, the terminal will not feel a reduction in transhipment volumes at the stage of reconstruction, which means that we will still be able to fully meet the needs of our customers, and will remain a reliable employer and taxpayer.”
The new tank has been built using double-walled technology to minimise environmental risks. The tank is able to store light and heavy petroleum products. The terminal overall has a capacity of 437,000 m3 and can receive products by river via three berths – it is the site’s fourth of that size and will increase overall capacity by 10 percent.
