ENOC subsidiary to build terminal in Malta


Terminal operator plans to construct oil terminal in Marsaxlokk.

Horizon Terminals Limited (HTL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC), has announced that it plans to construct a new oil storage terminal in Malta.

Malta is the Mediterranean hub for shipping lines, located at the crossroads of some of the world's busiest shipping routes that carry over 120 million tonnes of oil products.

The new terminal, located near Marsaxlokk Port, will have a capacity of 600,000 cubic meters for black and clean products, with one jetty for VLCCs (very large crude carrier) and two for vessels up to 120,000 DWT.

Commenting on the company's expansion plans, Saeed Abdullah Khoory, ENOC's Group Chief Executive, said: "This is significant move that will consolidate HTL's position as a global leading terminal operator. ENOC's investment in this facility through HTL, reiterates our confidence in Malta as a strong business model and as our gateway to the European market. We are confident that such investments will put us in good stead to take advantage of growth opportunities offered by Europe's oil sector."

HTL said it is currently in the process of obtaining the necessary permits, including the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) permits.

According to the company, work on the site is planned to commence in the second half of 2011.

HTL, the independent terminal arm of ENOC, manages more than 5 million cubic metres of storage with a network of seven terminals around the world. It provides world-class terminal services for bulk liquids storage as well as a range of logistics services.
