6 RTGs and two new STS post-Panamax quay cranes

Mobile harbor cranes with capacities of 100 and 150 tons to support big lift cargo

Value-added services include a facility for container repair and cleaning.

Up to 1,000 tons of load bearing capacity for large shipments on berth and yard facilities

Oil Berths

The Port’s Oil Terminal, FOTT, can operate either nine main berths or 14 wing berths and four bunker barge berths specifically designated for low-sulfur oil ships that adhere to IMO 2020.

Infrastructure is already in place if a commercial requirement arises to create a second VLCC jetty and 12 extra major berths.

Customers have full connectivity between any of the FOTT berths, thanks to the port’s two matrix manifold systems. They also have the unusual option of moving goods directly between terminals without hiring a vessel.

VLCC Jetty

The VLCC Jetty, situated in deep water near the eastern end of the breakwater, has been fully operational since 2016. The Jetty was constructed to accommodate tankers ranging in capacity from massive oil carriers to tankers the size of Aframax. Its main objective is to make it easier for vast cargoes of fuel oil and crude oil to be imported and exported. Two 40-inch products or crude lines connect it to Matrix Manifold 2 for communication.

Matrix Manifolds

Two extremely advanced Matrix Manifold Systems, a huge number of piggable pipes, and innovative digital technology are the secrets to FOTT’s success in terms of fast vessel turnaround times and short waiting times.

Thanks to the Matrix Manifold systems, customers have complete connectivity to any of the FOTT berths. The storage terminals are given access to all the main and wing berths via FOTT’s dock lines in exchange for connecting a minimum number of black oil and white oil lines to one of the manifolds. This enables highly affordable and adaptable logistical solutions.

The Matrix Manifold system’s unique ability to transport products directly across storage terminals without the need for intermediaries is another critical feature.

Bunker Barge Berths

Oil Terminal 1’s berths 3A, 3B, 3 East, and 3 West have a depth of -15.00 m CD. These docks can accommodate ships weighing between 10,000 and 20,000 DWT. To connect to Matrix Manifold 1, which connects all user pipelines, each berth has a black line and a white line. To support the implementation of the IMO 2020 0.5% sulfur cap regulation, the four berths will be set aside for MGO and (V) LSFO loading and discharge operations.

Dry Bulk and Multipurpose Berths

Three of the port’s five dry bulk and general cargo berths—dredged to a depth of 15 m—are reserved for bulk loaders. The two bulk loaders at SSB # 2 can load and unload vessels up to 90,000 dwt at 600 mt/hr and 1,200 mt/hr, respectively, through a conveyor belt system that connects the grain terminal to the port.

Service Harbor

The 500-meter-long westside quay wall is utilized for vessel loading, unloading, and mooring. The area is furnished with various mobile equipment and lifting tools to load and unload cargo from utility boats efficiently and safely. For temporary storage, covered storage compartments are offered.

The 250-meter-long southside quay wall is utilized for vessel loading, unloading, and mooring. Supply and utility vessels can anchor at Piers A (480 m) and B (412 m). At the pier’s northern end, a gasoline pontoon is situated. A floating pontoon (200 m) provides additional berthing options for dhows. The 300-meter-long tug berth quay wall at the southern breakwater makes it easy for tugs owned by the port to dock. The Dhow Inspection jetty and pontoon are at the conclusion.
