“The project is part of a far-reaching investment program that includes the construction of three new terminals (Jilava, Brazi, Isalnita) and the modernization of other three,” Petrom said in a statement Wednesday.

With a capacity of 11,000 cubic meters, the terminal at Isalnita, Dolj county, will ensure the supply for part of the southern region of Romania, Petrom added.

“All three newly built terminals, Jilava, Brazi and Isalnita, are fully automated and comply with the Romanian and European norms and standards. They have a total storage capacity of 46,000 cubice meters.”

Petrom, a unit of Austria’s OMV Group, so far invested EUR87 million for the construction of the three terminals.
