Naftoport, part of the PERN Group, received
489 tankers in 2024 and transshipped 38.8 million tons of crude oil
and liquid fuels. The number of ships serviced increased by 4
percent, and the amount of transshipment was 6 percent higher than
the previous year, which was a record year in this respect - the
company reported.
"In
2024, Naftoport once again achieved a record operating result,"
the PERN Group company announced on Monday. As reported, 489 ships
were serviced at the local terminal in 2024, 4 percent more than the
previous year.
"38.8 million tons of crude oil and fuels
were transshipped. These transshipments were 2 million tons, i.e. 6
percent, higher than the previous, also record-breaking, tonnage
serviced in 2023." - calculated Naftoport.
In 2023, the
company received 471 tankers, transhipping 36.6 million tons of crude
oil and liquid fuels during that time.
As it was emphasized at
the time, summarizing the company's operating result, the Naftoport
terminal operated in 2023 "at maximum speed". "This is
the result of the reorientation of the directions of raw material and
fuel supplies to Poland caused by the war in Ukraine and the
departure from Russian hydrocarbons, which is a pan-European
phenomenon," PERN explained at the time.
At the beginning
of 2024, PERN informed about the commenced works aimed at expanding
the terminal with another station to service the largest tankers and
thus strengthening Poland's energy security.
PERN holds 66.67%
of shares in Naftoport, which carries out transshipment of crude oil
and petroleum products in the Port of Gdańsk.
"The
company is an important element of the logistics of oil supplies for
Polish and German refineries and its transit, as well as land-sea
transshipment of petroleum products," PERN emphasizes. It also
points out that Naftoport is one of the largest oil transshipment
terminals in the Baltic Sea.
PERN, headquartered in Płock, is
a strategic entity for Poland's energy security, managing critical
infrastructure, responding for pumping crude oil through pipelines in
Poland to the Orlen Group refineries in Płock and Gdańsk, as well
as to two refineries in Germany - Schwedt and Leuna, and for storing
both raw materials and liquid fuels in its bases in the country.
In
Poland, the company has 19 fuel bases with a total capacity of around
2.7 million cubic meters, and four crude oil bases, including one in
Gdańsk, with a total capacity of over 4.2 million cubic meters.
