First gas society and VTTI, one of the largest operator and owner of the terminal for the storage of oil products in the world, signed an agreement on joint investment in a terminal for the storage and transshipment of oil products in the Port of Ploce.
The intention of PPD in collaboration with strong international partners such as VTTI is to jointly invest and develop a terminal for oil products in the Port of Ploce. The total investment amounts to around 125 MEUR. In doing so, VTTI which has a global portfolio of 8.7 million m3 of storage capacity, will provide professional, technical and operational support in the development of the terminal and will greatly contribute to the development of the Port of Ploce in international hub for the import and export for the whole Adriatic. Future terminal in the Port of Ploce will have a total capacity of 273,000 m3 of which 242,000 m3 is provided for storage of petroleum products and 31,000 m3 for storage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). From PPD say that the distribution of oil products through the terminal in Ploce will alleviate current limitations that exist with regard to infrastructure, distribution of oil and gas for the entire region. After completion, the new terminal will allow the import of LPG by sea and distribution of oil products to numerous markets in Southeast Europe. RPE is currently in the early stages of the terminal construction. The first phase of construction of LPG terminal (15,500 m3) will be in operation in mid-2017th, while the first phase of construction of warehouse space on oil products (60,000 m3) will be in operation by the end of 2016th.
