The possibility to store fuel at this station will significantly reduce its delivery time to the region. This will reduce logistics costs and will improve the situation with the supply of resources to Luhansk and Kharkiv regions.
To date, the specialists have installed all four tanks with a capacity of 75 m3 each and an emergency drainage tank (5 m3). At the same time, they finish installing technological equipment of tanks and mounting pipes. The contractors continue installing foundations for a railway rack and a place to pour fuel into tank trucks. After that, the mounting of sheds will begin.
The filling station in Svatove, which will be put into operation next month, will provide NIBULON’s branches in Luhansk and Kharkiv regions with diesel fuel. The facility has such technical characteristics: simultaneous receipt of diesel fuel – 120 tons, volume of simultaneous storage – 300 m3.
The filling station in Luhansk region will become the second of the three planned filling stations of NIBULON. The first station was built and put into operation at “Kremenchuts’ka” branch in July 2018. In 5 months of 2018, the filling station in Kremenchuk received 3,575 m3 of diesel fuel. It was used for fueling of the company’s fleet, refueling of road transport and meeting the needs of the branches involved in the cultivation of crops. Thanks to the commissioning of this filling station, delivery time of oil products to this region has been halved.
One more filling station will be built in Khmilnyk (Vinnytsia region), where NIBULON has its production branch. The storage of diesel fuel at the company’s own filling stations will reduce the cost of storing it at third-party organizations, ensure the preservation of the quality of goods and will enable us to be quicker when delivering fuel to an end consumer, to avoid queues at third-party stations and to carry out shipment at a convenient time. The implementation of such design solutions will also optimize the ways of delivering fuel and will redirect it to rail transport. This will: lead to a decrease in the volume of goods transported by road transport and will contribute to the removal of traffic load; cheapen transportation of grain cargoes, thereby increasing purchase prices for grain; minimize the impact on the environment due to the introduction of modern technologies, which is the most important social factor.
