A new petroleum products terminal construction in Alexandria, Egypt is on the way. This is after Total Egypt and OLA Energy signed a joint venture agreement to jointly own, build, and operate the facility dubbed the Alexandria Petroleum Products Terminal (APPT).
Including four gasoline, two gas-oil tanks, and a truck-loading gantry in its first phase of construction, the APPT will be built at the Mex Petroleum Zone on a 23,000 square meter plot of land. It will have an initial storage capacity of 10,000 cubic meters upon its completion by the last quarter of 2022. The facility has been carefully planned to allow for maximum flexibility to meet potential changes in market conditions.
