Dear friends, partners, regulators and media representatives!
Welcome to our website!
The year of 2021, just like the previous one, was both a challenging and an eventful period. The oil market still featured high volatility due to the pandemic-related factors. However, we managed to achieve high results even in the conditions of the coronavirus crisis.
Petersburg Oil Terminal never suspended its operation, not for a day. Shipment of oil products continued without any interruptions, incidents or emergencies. Moreover, POT demonstrated an impressive result having handled 9 million tonnes of oil products which is just slightly below the record-high result of 2020.
Such achievements were possible with the well-coordinated interaction of the management, terminal personnel and our partners.
One of the markers of smooth coordination at all levels is handling of almost one million tonnes of cargo in August 2021. The result achieved at the facilities of the new tank farm alone should be attributed to a carefully developed logistics and optimization of all production processes throughout the entire technological chain of oil products transshipment.
For its milestone event of 2021 – beginning of POT’s ‘old’ part reconstruction – POT had been preparing for over a number of recent years. Obsolete storage facilities built in the Soviet period will be replaced with a modern complex of double-wall tanks. That will offer new jobs of high qualification, increase of tax revenues and improvement of the port’s environmental safety with double-wall tank technology virtually eliminating the risk of oil spills.
The project development and approval was invaluably supported by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation and the Administration of Saint-Petersburg. In 2021, POT was given a status of a strategic investor into the city economy. In September, Saint-Petersburg Governor Aleksandr Beglov personally kicked off the project on construction of the terminal’s new facility.
I would like to express our particular thanks to the Ministry of Transport, Russian Railways, EMERCOM, Marine Administration of Great Port of Saint-Petersburg as well as our partners among Russia’s leading financial organizations. Traditionally, our special thanks are to the Customers giving credit to POT for years!
We continue maintaining high environmental standards. Last year, the terminal confirmed its ISO Environmental Management System standard and obtained certificates of compliance with Quality Management System and Occupational Health and Safety Management System standards. The company specialists took part in two large-scale OSR and firefighting exercises and demonstrated highly professional and well-coordinated work.
Social mission gets no less attention at POT. In 2021, the company provided further assistance to medical institutions having purchased costly equipment for Saint Martyr Elizabeth City Hospital in Saint-Petersburg. That is an equipment for intensive care units, aspirating means, ECG recorders, etc. Earlier, medical equipment was supplied to the Botkin Clinical Hospital for the Infectious Diseases and to municipal outpatient clinics.
Partnership with the State Hermitage Museum continues as well. POT supported the restoration of Catherine the Great and Maria Feodorovna portraits in the framework of the project “Great Women of the Russia Imperial Court”. We also supported the issue of a scientific catalogue “A Dream of Italy. The Marquis Campana Collection” in Russian.
In conclusion, I would like to thank once again our personnel for their commitment, the terminal partners and friends for their trust, readiness for a dialogue and willingness to contribute in good ventures!
I am sure, in 2022, we will be able to overcome challenges together while continuing our work for the benefit of our dear city and the country!
