Oiltanking Mogs Saldanha Receives Environmental Permit For The Construction And Operation Of A Crude Oil Blending And Storage Terminal In Saldanha Bay, South Africa
This article has been supplied.
Oiltanking MOGS Saldanha (Pty) Ltd a joint venture between OTGC Holdings (Pty) Ltd and MOGS (Pty) Ltd , is pleased to announce that it has been granted Environmental Authorization by the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning for the development and construction of a commercial crude oil blending and storage terminal with a total capacity of 13.2 million barrels, comprising twelve in-ground concrete tanks in Saldanha Bay.
The receipt of the Environmental Authorization is a major milestone in the project and brings to conclusion a phase that lasted more than two years. Eight specialist studies were undertaken by independent experts as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Although not required legally, OTMS decided to also conduct a marine oil pollution control study in addition to the EIA to ensure that any and all of its environmental risks are adequately understood and addressed.
The tanks have been designed in such an innovative manner that, should an oil leak develop in one of the tanks, the oil will be collected in a separate layer underneath the tanks and relayed to a special collection point from where it will be pumped back into the tanks. This layer will be continuously monitored.
