Work to start soon at Bundaberg Port

Fuel terminals at Bundaberg Port in Bundaberg city, Queensland, Australia could be operating by early next year. Marstel Terminals bought eight bulk storage tanks at the port from Mobil Oil Australia in September last year and initially hoped to have them running by October. The company is expected to spend between A$5 million-A$10 million (US$4.35 million-US$8.69 million) getting the facility operational. The terminal will provide storage and handling capability for unleaded petrol, diesel and biofuels, with pipelines to the nearby bulk liquids berths that will be used to transfer incoming bulk fuels from ship-to-shore tanks.
