Overview

In Australia, Marstel has 4 operating terminals in the following locations;

1. Altona                (Melbourne, Victoria)
2. Bell Bay              (Northern Tasmania)
3. Coode Island       (Melbourne, Victoria)
4. Port Alma           (Central Queensland)

The Altona operation provides secondary storage for bulk importers and then further adds value through providing blending and manufacturing services, packaging and logistics supply chain management. The facility has 40 tanks and extensive warehousing storage areas and is approved by ExxonMobil to handle their bulk and packaged aviation fuels. The site has pipeline access to the Port of Melbourne, and is located adjacent to the Altona petrochemical complex.

The Coode Island facility is a marine terminal with pipeline access to Maribyrnong no. 1 berth. This state of the art facility, constructed in 2005, represents the most significant improvement in the storage and handling of bulk liquid chemicals in Australia for many years, and achieves the highest level of safety and environmental standards. The terminal has a capacity of 28,000m³ with expansion capability to 50,000m³.

The Bell Bay fuels terminal is located approx 50 kilometres north of Launceston, on the Tamar River, at Bell Bay which is the principal port for Tasmania. The terminal has pipeline access to a modern dedicated bulk liquids berth, and an excellent draft of 12 metres. The terminal has a total of 10 bulk tanks with a combined storage capacity of 44,000m³, and is capable of storing diesel, unleaded petrol, aviation fuel, heavy fuel oils and biofuels.

The Port Alma fuels terminal is located almost midway from Gladstone in the south and Rockhampton to the north. Port Alma also has a dedicated bulk liquids berth, with a draft of 9.2 metres. The terminal has 3 bulk tanks with a combined storage capacity of 23,000m³.

In New Zealand, Marstel has 5 operating terminals in the following locations;

1. Bluff                  (South Island)
2. Gabador Place     (Auckland)
3. Freemans Bay     (Auckland)
4. Mount Maunganui (Port of Tauranga, North Island)
5. Wynyard Precinct (Auckland)

The Bluff terminal consists of a 2,200m³ tank and a specialty blending tank designed to serve the local dairy industry. The site has the potential to expand to cater for the needs of the regional primary agricultural and diary sectors. There is also land available for the development of hazardous tankage.

The Gabador Place terminal provides both bulk liquid and packaged product facilities, further enhanced by blending services to assist in the logistics supply chain management. Bulk liquid storage ranges from 50m³ - 700m³ and the subsequent downsizing of this product from 200lt down to 20lt.

The Freemans Bay Terminal is only 450 metres from the chemicals berth, which services the terminal via 3 pipelines. This terminal currently handles all of the acrylate and other monomer intermediaries used by New Zealand industry.
The Wynyard Precinct assets are strategically located in the Western Reclamation Area and were formerly owned by Shell New Zealand. The terminal has a total of 33 tanks and is a critical infrastructure asset serving the chemical, marine and bitumen/road related industries throughout the Auckland region and beyond.

The Mount Maunganui terminal was constructed in 2008. The close proximity of the site to the bulk liquids berth (250 metres) is a significant advantage providing added flexibility for the storage and handling of a wide range of bulk liquids. Initially the terminal will be dedicated to the storage of non-hazardous liquids, including edible oils, hazardous class 8 and class 6 products. The terminal has an initial storage capacity of 12,000m³.
