Throughput rise at St. Petersburg terminal


Volume of oil products handled increases year-on-year in February.

Throughput at Russia’s Petersburg Oil Terminal rose by 30,896 year-on-year according to data released for February 2009.

The terminal handled a total of 870,082 tonnes of oil products last month compared to 839,186 in February 2008, representing an increase of over 3.5 percent.

The volume of dark products handled in February 2009 totalled 610,000 tonnes, versus 381,000 tonnes the previous year. This 229,000-tonne rise represents a 60 percent increase in volume.

In January-February 2009 Petersburg Oil Terminal handled 1.766 million tonnes of oil products, an increase of 0.1 percent year-on-year.

The facility operates the largest Russian terminal for oil products in the Baltic Sea region. It provides the services of transshipment and storage of oil products for export, as well as bunkering.

In addition, the company conducts quality analysis of oil products, and accepts and treats slops discharged from vessels calling at the Port of St. Petersburg.

Last year, the terminal transshipped 11.8 million tonnes of oil products. The figure was 300,000 tonnes higher than in 2007 and includes 8.4 million tonnes of dirty oil products.

In December 2008 the company handled 0.9 million tonnes of oil products, 13,000 tonnes more than during the corresponding month the previous year. 595,000 tonnes of dirty oil products were handled during this period.
