01The feature

The energy jetty stands apart from the other terminals, with its own safety zone, fire tugs and a foam system along the whole length of the jetty. Tankers up to 60,000 tonnes berth on two arms.

Four pipelines run from the jetty to tank farms operated by customers outside the gate. Every litre is metered at the jetty head and witnessed by an independent surveyor.

Edible oils travel in a separate, food grade line that is never used for fuel. Cleaning and inspection records are available to every customer.
