The Port of Corpus Christi approved NuStar Energy LP’s lease for space to develop another private marine loading dock at the North Beach Terminal in Corpus Christi, NuStar said July 21.
The North Beach Terminal is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2017. In NuStar’s development plans, the second dock will load Suezmax-class vessels, carrying about 1 million barrels (MMbbl) of oil. The maximum rate is 30Mbbl/hour (hr), with potential for 50Mbbl/hr.
The new dock will be pile-supported and have three loading arms.
“The addition of this new dock further expands our premiere position in the highly desirable Corpus Christi Ship Channel and is an important part of our ongoing commitment to provide our customers with more options to move barrels of Eagle Ford crude oil,” said Brad Barron, president and CEO.
NuStar Energy LP is based in San Antonio.
