January 21, 2026 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Tepsa has been selected by the Grand Port Maritime de Dunkerque following an Expression of Interest process for part of the former SRD refinery brownfield site.

As part of the EOI, the Port of Dunkirk chose the complementary projects proposed by Technip Energies and Tepsa. Under the agreement, Tepsa, an independent European leader in bulk liquid storage, will develop and operate a new storage terminal with a capacity of 145,000 cubic metres. The facility will be dedicated to bulk liquids serving the battery manufacturing and recycling value chain, the European chemicals sector and energy transition industries.

In addition, Tepsa will provide maritime logistics services to Technip Energies in support of its adjacent project to produce sustainable aviation fuel from second-generation ethanol, further strengthening the industrial ecosystem at the site.

Commenting on the announcement, Bruno Hayem, chief executive officer of Tepsa, thanked the Grand Port Maritime de Dunkerque for its continued trust. He noted that, as long-standing partners, Tepsa is proud to contribute to the development of the Dunkirk area and the wider Hauts-de-France region, and to support the port’s ambition to position Dunkirk as a leading hub within the Northern European port range.
