Recope To Complete Pacific Terminal
Feasibility In January
Costa Rica's state refinery, the Refinadora
Costarricense de Petroleo S.A. (Recope) in
January plans to complete feasibility
studies for a Pacific coast fuels terminal
in Costa Rica, a company said.
The terminal will act as an alternative
entry point and help guarantee fuel supply
when bad weather prevents ships from docking
at Moín port in Limón the Atlantic coast.
Colombian firm Bohórquez Ingeniería has
submitted the basic engineering which is
under review, said the official.
The Pacific import, storage and distribution
terminal could receive vessels of
20,000-40,000 tonnes.
Moín handles vessels capable of transporting
up to 30,000 tonnes as marine bottom
shifting from a 1991 earthquake reduced
draft to 9-9.5m.
Once the feasibility work has been
completed, the project's implementation
timetable will be defined, the official
added. |
