The previous record was also achieved this year: 4,929,486 tons (38,990,365 barrels) were loaded onto tankers in March.
Since the beginning of 2017 to date 50 million gross tons of crude oil have been loaded at the Marine Terminal, of which 45 million tons have been received from Kazakhstan shippers, and around 5 million gross tons from Russian shippers.
Throughout the entire period since the completion of the construction and subsequent operation of the Marine Terminal, no violation of industrial and environmental safety have been committed, lifting has been accomplished without any oil spill incidents.
For reference:
The CPC pipeline system is one of the largest investment projects with foreign capital in the energy sector in the CIS. The length of the Tengiz–Novorossiysk Pipeline is 1,511 km; it transports over two thirds of all Kazakhstan export crude, as well as crude from Russian oil fields, including the Caspian Region. CPC Marine Terminal is equipped with three Single Point Moorings (SPM) that allow to load tankers safely at a significant distance offshore, also amid poor weather conditions.
