Port of Tallinn handles petroleum products at both Muuga Harbour and Paldiski South Harbour. Petroleum product transit is primarily concentrated at Muuga Harbour, which hosts three major terminals dedicated to the storage and transshipment of liquid bulk: Liwathon E.O.S., Muuga Storage Terminal, and Olerex Terminal. In addition to these, Muuga Harbour also accommodates the terminals of Neste and Nynas. The areas of activity of these companies vary slightly. The Neste terminal is engaged in the import, storage, and wholesale of petroleum products, while Nynas focuses on the import and marketing of bitumen and bitumen oils.
At Paldiski South Harbour, petroleum products are handled by Puma Energy Baltics, while Baltic Oil Service is involved in the handling of vegetable oils.
The storage tank farms operated by Port of Tallinn’s liquid bulk operators provide a total capacity of approximately 2.0 million m³. The oil terminals benefit from developed rail infrastructure, which is connected to the main railway network of Estonian Railways. Currently, Muuga Harbour operators are capable of unloading up to 2,000 rail tank wagons per day—entire trainloads are discharged.
Petroleum product transshipment takes place at three berths in Paldiski South Harbour and seven berths in Muuga Harbour. The longest berth measures 340 meters in length with a depth of 18 meters, allowing for the reception of tankers with a capacity of up to 300,000 tons. The loading speed from shore to tanker can reach up to 7,000 tons per hour.
The Port of Tallinn’s liquid bulk operators provide services including storage of oil and petroleum products, consolidation of large consignments, and blending.
