Detailed engineering work for the development and construction of a 13.2-million-barrel commercial crude oil blending and storage terminal in Saldanha Bay has started.

The facility will comprise 12 in-ground concrete tanks and is set for completion in the first quarter of 2017, Oiltanking MOGS Saldanha reported.

“The start of the front-end engineering design (Feed) is a major milestone and demonstrates significant progress for the Saldanha Bay project,” the company, a joint venture between Grindrod sub- sidiary Oiltanking Grindrod Calulo Holdings and black-owned Mining, Oil & Gas Services, says.

The scope includes the earthworks, as well as civil, mechanical and electrical components of the crude oil terminal and associated infrastructure. Feed is estimated to be completed in six months and will immediately be followed by the construction phase.

The terminal in the Port of Saldanha Bay will be built as a state-of-the-art facility in accordance with the highest safety and environmental standards. It will be connected to an existing jetty which can handle vessels up to very large crude carrier size.
