Empleados de Oiltanking y sus familias participaron en la carrera Beach to Bay
Carrera benéfica Beach to Bay
En 2016, nuestros compañeros de la oficina regional de Oiltanking en Houston y sus familias participaron en uno de los maratones de relevos más grandes de Estados Unidos: la Beach to Bay Run. Se trata de una carrera de seis tramos que abarca unos 42 kilómetros de la Costa del Golfo y que normalmente atrae a unos 2.000 corredores de todo Estados Unidos, así como de Kenia, Inglaterra y México. Cuarenta empleados de Oiltanking y sus familiares dieron lo mejor de sí mismos para respaldar la carrera benéfica con un total recaudado de 10.357 euros. El dinero se destinó a las organizaciones Special Olympics, Navy Relief y a los fondos de Acción de Gracias y Navidad, así como a becas universitarias.
[Translate to spanisch:] The terminal in Matola received its first vessel on November 26, 2017. The facility’s initial storage capacity will be 58,600 cbm, with land available for further development. It has access to a jetty with a draft of 11.5 meters. In addition, the terminal is equipped with rail- and truck-loading facilities to serve southern Mozambique and neighboring countries including Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and the northern provinces of South Africa.
On the land available for further expansion in Matola, Oiltanking is planning to build a large scale pressurized LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) terminal of up to 33,000 cbm, as well as adding another 70,000 cbm of liquid storage.
An additional terminal is planned by Oiltanking in Beira, located centrally along the Mozambican coast. The terminal, which is currently at the development stage, will facilitate gas and petroleum product imports into the central part of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“Mozambique is one of the main transit hubs for petroleum products on Africa’s east coast. The recent transaction and the other projects will further strengthen Oiltanking’s presence in Africa and enhance our ability to serve new market segments on the east coast of the continent”, says Lo Vanhaelen, Managing Director Oiltanking Matola.
