The facility includes nine new blending and storage tanks with a combined capacity of 30,000 cbm. Another eight tanks will be added by January 2026, taking the terminal’s total capacity to 110,000 cbm.

It also features three jetties and seven berths for barges up to 135 metres and an additional jetty for larger vessels.

Peninsula said the expansion strengthens its operational capabilities across the ARA region.

The setup allows blending any grade from 5% to 100% biofuel content (B5–B100) with HSFO or VLSFO, “with full control over the blending process and product quality,” it added.

Apart from the ARA hub, Peninsula also offers physical bunker deliveries of conventional and biofuel blends, across major global ports such as Skaw, Gibraltar, Algeciras, Las Palmas, Barcelona, Malta, Suez, Port Louis, Houston and Panama ports, among others.
