September 26, 2013 [Industrial Info Resources] - Odfjell Terminals Granel Quimica Ltda (Santos, Brazil) is awaiting capital approval to begin construction on a $200 million terminal that will have the capacity to store 60,000 cubic meters of chemical products and ethanol, in the Alemoa port area of Santos, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The project will include the construction of a dock, 26 storage tanks, a pier, two berths, and pipelines to connect the marine zone to the tank area.
The construction kick-off is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2014, and the project’s completion and operations start-up are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2016.
Additionally, Odfjell Terminals has two expansion projects scheduled for this terminal. The first expansion involves the construction of an additional 26 tanks to duplicate storage capacity.
The second expansion will be the construction of a new berth and 30 new tanks, to reach a total storage capacity of 175,000 cubic meters. These two expansions will have a total investment value of $100 million.
The new Alemoa Terminal will allow Odfjell Group to increase its market share in Brazilian transport and in the chemical storage business. The company is currently operating seven terminals in Brazil, one of them on Bernabe Island, in the city of Santos.
