Two oil cargoes to be exported from Ust-Luga BPS-2 terminal

Two shipments of exported crude oil from the Phase 2 marine terminal of the Baltic Pipeline System (BPS-2) based in Ust-Luga port are scheduled until the end of this March, a shipping company source familiar with the matter told PortNews.


Previously, PortNews has reported the launch of the BPS-2 marine component had been postponed from November 2011 to the first quarter of 2012 as the liquid bulk complex berthing facilities were not competed at the time to handle large-tonnage tankers. In July, the works at the terminal were ceased due to detected defects in berthing front of the oil terminals.



The Baltic Pipeline System-2 project is being implemented in line with the Russian Government’s order (November 26, 2008). Transneft has constructed the 1000 km pipeline of capacity of 38 million tons of crude oil a year (the first phase - 30m tons), five pumping stations (PS), reconstructed existing pumping stations - "Unecha" and "Andreapol," and completed Ust-Luga Oil Depot with tank farm of 8 tanks of capacity of 50000 cbm each.
