We are pleased to announce that a second bunker point has recently been opened at the Port of Blyth, following the extension of a pipeline that runs from Geos Group’s fuel storage terminal. The additional bunker point at Wimbourne Quay enables them to offer a more flexible refuelling service to vessels operating in the North Sea.
The pipeline extension project came about in response to the recent redevelopment of the Bates Clean Energy Terminal – a £10 million + programme of investment into an enlarged 17-hectare facility with heavy-lift quays and extended warehousing. The construction, testing and certification phases of the new pipeline have been completed, and the new bunker point is now fully operational.
Alan Todd, Port Director at Port of Blyth said: “Increasing the number of direct vessel bunkering locations has been a significant ambition of the Port, as part of the Bates Terminal redevelopment works. The Geos Group have worked closely with the port on this project, and it is a pleasure to hand over the operation of the pipeline to a trusted tenant.”
The newly enhanced refuelling service is another big step forward for the Geos Group, and comes shortly after the 10-year anniversary of the opening of their fuel terminal in Blyth earlier this year.
