CLH inaugurates a new storage facility in the Port of Bilbao

The President of the Basque regional government, Iñigo Urkullu, and the Chairman of CLH, José Luis López de Silanes, have today inaugurated the new oil product storage and distribution facility built by the company in the Port of Bilbao.

This new facility will act as a supplement to the other storage facility already operated by the company in the town of Santurce, which became operational in 2006.

The new facility represents an investment of €18.2 million, and will asssist to improve the oil product storage and distribution system in the Basque country and neighbouring regions.

The new plant has eight tanks with a total storage capacity of 123,000 cubic metres. A second phase has been planned to provide for another three tanks of 38,000 cubic metres, which will add a capacity of 114,000 cubic metres.

The facility is connected to the Santurce plant, the refinery, the tanker vessel jetty and the company’s pipeline network, which provides this infrastructure with high flexibility and operational capacity, as it can receive and dispatch oil products from multiple points. The new facility will store gasoline, diesel oil, kerosene, biofuel and other products with complete flexibility.
