“Sydney Ports Corporation has recognised the importance of the bulk liquids trade and the existing Bulk Liquids Berth facility to the NSW economy,” Mr Gilfillan said today. “As the NSW economy continues to grow so does the demand for bulk liquids such as refined petroleum products, chemicals and gases for domestic and industrial use. “That’s why Sydney Ports is doubling the port’s capacity to handle these products by constructing a second bulk liquids berth (BLB2) at Port Botany. “The existing Bulk Liquids Berth at Port Botany was constructed in 1979 and is the only one of its kind – an open access, multi user berth for the import and export of chemicals, LPG and refined fuels in NSW. “This new $80 million facility will ensure that NSW has adequate berth capacity to satisfy future demands for the import and export of bulk liquids,” Mr Gilfillan said.
