Jet Fuel Receiving Facility

To offload the marine vessels, VAFFC proposes to construct a new jet fuel receiving facility on industrially zoned property adjacent to the proposed marine terminal at the foot of Williams Road.  No agricultural land will be required.

The facility will accommodate six steel above-ground storage tanks with a total capacity of about 80 million litres.  At approximately five hectares, the property can accommodate two additional storage tanks if needed in the future.

The tanks will be located on the landward side of the dike at the foot of Williams Road. They will be relatively low structures, roughly five storeys high and partially hidden behind a two- to three-metre high containment berm.

A new, one kilometre-long pipeline will transfer offloaded jet fuel from the marine terminal to the storage tanks.
