Oil Terminal :

Designed for heavy oils handling only, berth 11 can accommodate tankers up to 20000 DWT, and is fitted with

a pipeline for refined products. Berth 11 was the official tanker berth, but mooring is not always possible at this

berth due to strong tidal currents. The berth has a pipeline system with capacity of 400 tonnes per hour with

the following pipes : 4 x 12” for unloading, 6 x 8” for loading.

Fuel Terminal :

Located at quay 12, the modern fuel terminal, which was inaugurated in 1994 has the capacity to load and

unload tankers of 500 to 2 500 SWT and from 500 to 50 000 DWT. The terminal system consists essentially

of four pipelines for refined products such as diesel, petrol, Jet Avgas and fuel oil. This terminal handles 1

200kl per hour and has an installed capacity of 2,5 million tonnes per year.

Cold storage terminal :

This infrastructure is equipped with cold stores that have a capacity for 1 100 tonnes at temperatures of 1,5

to 4,5 degrees centigrade, and for 490 tonnes at temperatures of -9 to -20 degrees centigrade respectively.

The terminal is equipped with electrical forklifts for handling the cargo.
