A new marine berth at the Kenar terminal has
opened in Turkmenistan. It has an annual capacity of over two million tonnes
for shipment and more than one million tonnes for receiving oil and petroleum
products. Notably, this strategic facility is part of the Turkmenbashi Complex of
Oil Refineries. The new pier complies with modern requirements and is capable
of accommodating two tankers simultaneously. It significantly boosts the
Central Asian country’s export potential, ensures the continuity and safety of
logistics operations, expands the range of transit services, and enhances the country’s
investment appeal. The facility is expected to play an important role during
the upcoming international economic forum of landlocked countries, which will
be held in Turkmenistan in August.
«The
design and construction of this facility involved the use of the most advanced
and cutting-edge technologies. In particular, specialized equipment and
software were employed for the automated control system,» said Dmitry Gogol, Director
of the Petro Gas LLP Turkmenistan branch.
«The
commissioning of the new berth will ensure the uninterrupted and safe shipment
of petroleum products abroad via the existing berths 1 and 2, enable their
phased modernization, increase the throughput capacity of the loading berths, allow
for the provision of transit transportation services, and generate additional
revenue,» noted Amangeldy Berdyev, process engineer of the Turkmennebit State
Concern.
«The commissioning of this technological
facility is of key importance, as it will help accelerate the logistics of
imported petroleum products by minimizing losses and will reliably ensure
export deliveries to international markets,» said Allayar Mammetorazov, operator
of the oil storage and loading pump manufacturing plant.
