TERMINAL
MODERN AND EFFICIENT TERMINAL
Sunrise Energy operates the modern, efficient liquified petroleum gas (LPG) terminal at the Port of Saldanha under an exclusive concession granted by Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) in terms of Section 56 of the National Ports Act. It is a critical infrastructure asset for the region and key to energy security in the country, as well as economic development.
COMPLIANCE
The facility is world-class, designed to meet international safety and design standards, whilst ensuring maximum operational efficiency and safety.
OPEN ACCESS
Any customer or third party can utilise the terminal for the import of LPG on an Open Access basis if there is uncommitted capacity available in the Terminal. This means that customers utilising the terminal are independently responsible for the import of the LPG to Saldanha on behalf of downstream customers. Customers are also independently responsible for the redistribution of LPG from the terminal dispatch points in the form of road loading gantries.
Sunrise Energy provides the intermediate services associated with the handling, storage, and dispatch of the LPG on the customer’s behalf.
