Profile
Vopak will start construction by September 2004 on its fourth
Singapore terminal at the Banyan LogisPark on Jurong Island.
The first phase of this integrated oil and chemicals terminal
will be completed by April 2006. It will consist of 16 oil storage
tanks with a total capacity of 340,000 cubic metres and 10 chemical
storage tanks with a total capacity of 31,200 cubic metres. A
twin jetty will also be built during the first phase, which will
be capable of berthing tankers of 120,000 and 80,000 deadweight
tonne.
The fully built-up terminal, expected before the end of this decade,
will have an oil storage capacity of 900,000 cubic metres and
chemicals storage capacity of 550,000 cubic metres.
This latest project is driven by the growing demand for storage
by both the oil and chemical traders supplying into the region.
The new capacities will complement the 1.0 million cubic metres
of oil storage already operating at Pulau Sebarok and the 500,000
cubic metres of chemical storage at Sakra and Tanjong Penjuru.
