This will involve the <strong>direct transport by Bilogistik to customers of sulphur and coke, solid bulk produced at this oil company\u2019s FRU plant<\/strong>. It will also be responsible for the<strong> delivery of this bulk right up to the dock of Bilbao port<\/strong>, for their consequent shipping.<\/p>\n<p>This operation is handled by Bilogistik\u2019s subsidiary,<strong> Ancoa XXI<\/strong>, with a fleet of 15 trucks and 25 semi-trailers, equipped with all the resources to prevent any particles or dust from the goods from seeping out during their road transportation. Hence the importance of highlighting <strong>Bilogistik\u2019s specialisation in bulk transport and all classes of freight that require special handling, with an emphasis on safety and environmental protection<\/strong>, which is in line with the time and cost effectiveness provided by Bilogistik in its road transportation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/blog\/bulk-goods-transport\/\">bulk materials<\/a> arrive at Bilbao port, they are deposited in two storage warehouses<\/strong> (one for sulphur, with a capacity of 18,000 tons, and the other for coke, capable of storing more than 58,000 tons), owned by the oil company.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>raison d\u2019etre<\/em> of the transport of sulphur and coke to port facilities lies in the fact that the majority of bulk materials marketing involves shipping, according to Petronor.<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, Bilogistik <strong>is estimated to transport about one million tons of sulphur and coke, with 110 trucks on the road in any one day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Petronor, a customer of Bilogistik<\/h2>\n<p>With a production potential of 11 million tons per year, <strong>Petronor is the largest refinery in Spain<\/strong>, exporting more than a third of its production. The traffic flow generated by the company, located in the municipalities of Muskiz, Abanto-Zierbena and Zierbena (Bizkaia), accounts for more than <strong>40% of the traffic at Bilbao port.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It occupies a 220- hectare site and has a storage capacity for oil of 894,000 m<sup>3<\/sup>, 1,279,000 tons for raw material, 922,000 m<sup>3<\/sup> for finished products and 254,600 m<sup>3<\/sup> for intermediate products.<\/p>\n<p>Petronor\u2019s Fuel Reduction Unit (FRU) has been operational since 2013. Heavier oil components intended for the<strong> manufacture of fuel oil<\/strong> are transformed at its facilities into lighter products that are more in demand on the market, such as liquefied gases (propane, butane), gasoline and diesel, according to the refinery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bilogistik has been awarded the tender for Petronor\u2019s Fuel Reduction Unit (FRU)\u2019s plant solid bulk road transport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3935,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,63,65],"tags":[85,86],"class_list":["post-3670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-merchandise","category-news","category-road-transport","tag-bulk","tag-dangerous-merchandise"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bilogistik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
