Baltic Fuel Company puts into operation second berth at MTT Turukhtannye Islands

In August 2014, Baltic Fuel Company put into operation the second berth at its own fuel terminal MTT Turukhtannye Islands in the port of Saint-Petersburg.

The complete reconstruction of the SV-15 berth has been performed by Baltic Fuel Company within the framework of a large-scale project on expansion of its own terminal in the port of Saint-Petersburg.

The project documentation has also been elaborated and the public hearings have already been held. Approval of land reclamation within a water body has been obtained from the Federal Marine and River Transport Agency (Rosmorrechflot). Besides, planning scheme and boundary-setting plan have been developed. Water supply and water consumption networking is in process according to issued Specifications. Construction of power network (3.4 MW in capacity) has commenced. Obtaining of gas limits is being worked out and construction of a boiler station begins.

State expert approval and a permit for construction are to be obtained before the end of 2014.

As of today, the terminal occupies a 7.3-hectare plot of land and two berths being used for transshipment of oil products (some 500,000 t in 2013). When reconstruction is completed (in 2015-16) the terminal’s throughput is to reach 1.7 mln t of oil products. From 2017, the terminal will annually handle up to 2.4 mln t of products, from 2020 – up to 4-5 mln t.

Investments into the project are estimated at $110.
