The Board of Directors of Vopak Terquimsa, the leading logistics company in the Western Mediterranean, has approved the start of engineering work for the development of the fourth phase of expansion of its capacity at the Química quay in the Port of Tarragona.
This fourth phase will involve the construction of 37,000 m3 of capacity, dedicated to the storage of chemical products, linked in some cases to circular economy projects and the energy transition. Construction is expected to begin throughout the year 2024, once the administrative process for obtaining the corresponding permits has been completed, and the start-up of the facility is expected in the last quarter of 2026.
With this new expansion, Vopak Terquimsa will reach 483,901 m3 of capacity in Tarragona, and will add a total of 72 million euros of direct investment in growth investments since 2017, thus consolidating its leadership position in the Port of Tarragona.
EDUARDO SAÑUDO SÁNCHEZ, CEO of Vopak Terquimsa explains that “This new project is fully aligned with our strategy, which includes growth in industrial chemical enclaves and developing projects related to new energies and the circular economy.” The head of the company wanted to underline that “Our commitment to Tarragona is definitive, as an enclave for the storage of chemicals in southern Europe, and consolidates us as the reference partner of the petrochemical industry in its decarbonisation process”.
The new extension will incorporate the latest technology in industrial automation to allow safer and more efficient operations to be carried out, all under the highest standards of environmental efficiency. The construction characteristics of the new capacity will allow high flexibility to meet the needs of customers.
