Transneft has plans to construct an oil shipment terminal to receive oil from the Baltic Pipe System-2 (BPS-2) Oil Pipeline at Ust Luga Port, Russia.
The terminal will store and ship oil to offshore tankers. The BPS-2 Pipeline will be constructed in two stages, at which it will carry 30 and 38 MMt/a of oil, respectively.
Transneft began construction on the 1,170 km BTS-2 Oil Pipeline in July 2009. It will carry crude from Unecha to the Ust Luga Port, with a branch connecting to the Kirishi oil processing facility.
The BTS-2 Oil Pipeline is expected to operate at full capacity by 2011.
