Liquid Bulks

CEPSA

CEPSA’s “Gibraltar-San Roque” refinery is fitted out with piers and a sea-island anchored at 60 metres depth, where oil-tankers of up to 350,000 tons DW can moor and unload up to 12,000m3/hour.

The refinery has a capacity to distil 12 million tonnes of crude per year. The port that is located within the facility has seven loading and unloading berths on a 1,467-metre-long pier, plus another terminal dedicated exclusively to barge activities. Ships of up to 175,000 tons DW can berth at the facility, whose drafts vary from between 6 and 20 metres depth.

EXOLUM

EXOLUM runs a facility on the Port of Algeciras’ North Breakwater to receive products from tankers. The North Breakwater is used to load barges at a maximum rate of 500m3/hour. Having expanded the capacity of their facility on Isla Verde Quay, CLH now occupies a total 203,144m2 surface area at the Port of Algeciras.

In 2014, EXOLUM passed a €7-million investment scheme that is set to upgrade their hydrocarbon blending service at this facility.
