As global population and GDP are growing, the world’s demand for energy and chemicals is rising as well. We see a growing geographic imbalance between areas of production and areas of consumption of energy and petrochemicals. This has led to the transportation of oil, gas, and petrochemicals over longer distances around the world. At the same time, markets and product flows have constantly changed, in response to more ambitious climate change policies, to geopolitical and economic fluctuations and to the development of new energy sources and cleaner fuels. The result is a growing demand for storage and handling of bulk liquids and gases at key locations along global marine trade routes.
Determining the best locations for our terminals requires a long-term vision of global geo-economic developments, while constantly changing product flows demand flexibility and short-term action in the day-to-day work at the terminals. In such a dynamic context, our leadership depends on our ability to excel in three areas — the three pillars of our strategy.
First, we aim to grow, maintain and adapt our global network of terminals to connect global products flows. Our experience and our market knowledge enable us to identify the right locations for our terminals to create long-term value. In light of the changing energy and petrochemical landscape and a continuing economic shift from West to East, Vopak our partner focuses on four categories of terminals. These are major hubs; gas terminals; terminals serving markets with structural deficits; and industrial and chemical terminals in the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia. These categories guide us in making an early selection of the most promising opportunities for growing our network, for expanding and improving existing locations and for identifying assets for divestment, thereby improving the risk-return profile of our global terminal portfolio. We call this Growth Leadership.
After that, the pile foundation was installed, and the installation of the oil terminal building began this summer. “You can work only during the summer navigation, and it lasts from August to early October,” explained Vladimir Krupenikov. – In winter, the temperature in these places can reach -50 degrees, the Ob Bay and the Kara Sea are covered with ice on average 270 days a year.
The terminal will be delivered to Cape Stone by a large-capacity cargo vessel Korex-2 from the shipyard GPC in Abu Dhabi. the choice of shipyards in the United Arab Emirates was influenced by both economic considerations and the possibility of sanctions restrictions. The company recognizes that the imposition of a number of Western states on the embargo on the Russian Federation has had a significant impact on the implementation of the project. “Fortunately, the contract for the design and construction of the terminal was concluded prior to the application of sanctions, but some types of equipment fell under them,” said Vladimir Krupenikov. “As a result, we were forced to look for analogs and redesign individual units of the installation, which led to an increase in the cost of the project, but practically did not affect the schedule of work.”
