Oryx Energies Inaugurates Canary Islands Terminal

Wednesday, October 8, 2014

Oryx Energies saw the inauguration of its state-of-the-art oil terminal at Las Palmas, in the Canary Islands. The facility complies with Europe’s strictest health, safety and environmental regulations. It will provide extensive storage capacity for third parties and Oryx Energies’ trading arm.

It has a long, deep water jetty and a design that offers flexibility and fast loading/discharging rates for a wide variety of vessels and shipping operators.

Oryx Energies’ specialized bunkering service, Oryx Bunkering (part of its trading arm), provides fuels and marine lubricants to all categories of vessels inshore, offshore and on the high seas. The lubricants supplied are mainly from Oryx Energies’ latest blending plant in Togo.

“We are pleased to officially open this new terminal in Las Palmas”, stated AOG founder and Chairman, Jean Claude Gandur, who is promoting Oryx Energies’ ambitious expansion plans. “It reinforces our position as a strategic player in the bunkering world. It also underlines our commitment to facilitating the flow of trade and to supporting economic and social development in and around the African continent, thanks to reliable supplies of oil and gas products and services.”
