Bunker tank tour at UK event


Event guests are taken on a tour of a new storage facility in the UK.

Geos Group participated in Offshore Energy Day on June 3, an event hosted by the Port of Blyth, Northumberland.

Guests were taken on a tour of the port's facilities and development sites, had lunch on board the historic floating clubhouse at Royal Northumberland Yacht club and took a trip around the harbour on a boat.

Barry Newton, Geos Group Managing Director, and Adrian Proctor, Commercial Director, showed clients the new state-of-the-art Geos Group fuel terminal, due for completion this summer, which will have a storage capacity of 15 million litres of marine gas oil (MGO). The storage tanks have been built at the Bates Terminal in Blyth. The 9.5-hectare terminal handles dry bulk cargoes such as coal, glass and stone.

Geos announced the completion of the base construction phase in January. For each base, 270 cubic metres of concrete was poured into a large circular steel frame built on a foundation of steel piles buried 10 metres deep in the ground. Building contractors Halls Construction then began working on the bund wall, access roads and other elements of the on-site infrastructure.

The Geos development project represents the first on the Blyth Estuary Enterprise Zone. It has been supported by Arch Corporate Holdings Ltd. - the Northumberland Development Company set up by Northumberland County Council.

"The Port of Blyth is a growing offshore energy hub with excellent deep water facilities in a strategically well-positioned location," Geos Group said earlier this year.

Geos Group offers ship-to-ship transfers of MGO to ships in UK east coast ports.
