The expanded terminal is expected to be completed by the end of 2015 and will have a total loading capacity of more than 16 million barrels per month.

Ainsworth said that completion of the company’s dock expansion projects will allow them to continue to meet existing customers’ needs, while providing additional dock capacity to EPP.

“The Partnership and Enterprise have also agreed to expand the exclusivity provision in the existing agreement to include the Gulf Coast. The new agreement, together with Enterprise’s announced infrastructure expansion, cements this facility’s position as the leading US LPG hub,” Ainsworth added.

Oiltanking Partners is a publicly-traded transportation firm in the US.
