Irving Oil has completed the expansion of its St. John's Marine Terminal -- a $20-million investment that will improve harbor logistics and help position St. John's Harbor for future growth.
The expansion adds a new fueling berth on Pier 23, adjacent to the company's existing facilities on Pier 24, doubling the number of vessels that can access marine gas oil via pipeline at the marine terminal. The development of a new fueling berth at Pier 23 allows two vessels to refuel at the same time, reducing wait times and congestion in the port and improving harbor logistics. Irving Oil welcomed its first customer vessel to the new fueling berth in May.
The 18-month project was 100-percent privately funded and created local jobs for skilled tradespeople during construction.
