Currently, the tank farm of Kozmino oil port has 10 tanks with the construction capacity of 50,000 cubic meters each. Two additional tanks (No. 11 and No. 12) will increase the total capacity of the farm from 500,000 to 600,000 cubic meters.
The unique feature of new tanks (as well as previously constructed ones) will be a floating tank roof, which allows for minimizing the negative environmental impact through the decrease in the volume of evaporated oil from the tanks.
Previously, Kozmino port already performed operations directed at expansion of the tank farm, which resulted in construction of additional oil storage tanks (tanks No. 8, No. 9, and No. 10) before the end of 2010. These operations enabled an increase in the capacity of the oil depot to half a million cubic meters of oil.
Construction of two new tanks, which will commence in 2016, will allow for an extension of the Far-East terminal of Transneft, JSC throughput capacity. With this objective in view, an access dam with subsequent improvement works in the water area of terminal No. 2 of the oil pier is also reconstructed, which will allow for receipt of tanks with the deadweight of up to 150,000 tons at both terminals.
The Far-East terminal of Transneft, JSC (Transneft Kozmino Port, LLC) is located in the endpoint of the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean (ESPO) Pipeline System in the town of Nakhodka of the Primorye Territory and is designed for export of ESPO oil into the countries of the Asian and Pacific Region. As of March 24, 2015, the shipment quantity of oil from Kozmino port reached 100 million tons from the moment of commissioning of the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean (ESPO) Pipeline System in December 2009.
