The new terminal is the largest terminal in India to store exclusively dark oil products and the industry’s first fully automated terminal with a capacity of about 94,000 m³. The terminal will handle FO – 180/ 380/ 500, Bitumen, LVFO, FO Blend, LSHS, HFHSD, LDO, JBO and Lube Oil.
This project has strategic importance as it creates space for Vizag Refinery’s expansion for production of EURO IV grade fuel (Diesel Hydro Treatment Unit Project).
The terminal has been developed on a 38-acre site within a record 15 months using all advanced project management techniques.
The new terminal will receive the products from Vizag Refinery as well as via jetties and dispatch the products by road and rail and via pipelines for bunkering/tanker loading.
The terminal will be the first site providing blending of products and that may turn it in future into the main eastern industrial and bunkering hub.
