Stolthaven Terminals, a division of Stolt-Nielsen S.A., celebrated the ground breaking of the first phase of the greenfield storage terminal in Jurong Island, Singapore. Agreements have been made with the EPC contractor, Chiyoda and site preparation is already underway.

The first phase will comprise 61,000 cubic meters of capacity made up of both gas spheres and conventional liquid tanks. The intention is to build out over 300,000 cubic meters in successive phases to support the new chemical manufacturing plants as well as the growth for existing production.

“Having a state of the art storage terminal to integrate with our Tanker and Tank Container assets in the strategic location of Singapore has been a long term vision come true. We will now be able to offer our customers a full compliment of Stolt-Nielsen logistic services in our third largest global port,” said Andrew Pickering, Managing Director Asia Pacific, Stolt-Nielsen.
