The petroleum products plants began operating in Larnaca
in the late 1940’s and are located along the Larnaca -
Dhekelia Road.
Their business operation focuses around the import,
storage and distribution of petroleum products to fulfil the
needs of the Cyprus market. The petroleum products are
transported to Cyprus via tankers that are anchored in the
Larnaca bay, opposite the installations.
The petroleum products are unloaded via underwater
pipelines, and the whole process is subject to the strictest
controls in accordance with international inspection and
safety protocols.
Throughout their long-standing operation, and aware of
their great responsibility, the plants have been providing
local consumers with high quality fuel, continuously
and safely. At the same time, they have implemented
high standard of safety and environmental protection
systems in combination with the impeccable professional
management of their overall activities.
The installations of the petroleum products companies
operate and are maintained within the strict framework
of manufacturing specifications and in compliance with
the internationally accepted standards. These standards
are designed to secure the safety of their staff and as well
as the citizens living in the area, while eliminating any environmental damage. The plants are equipped with
integrated fire extinguishing systems which can operate
autonomously but are also interconnected. As a result,
and in case of an emergency, these systems complement
each other and operate jointly. The petroleum product
companies maintain and nurture a long-standing and
xcellent cooperation with both the Fire Brigade and the
Civil Defence Force, aiming to continually upgrade the
parameters of safety in the area. Joint emergency drills
focusing on how to face any major-accident hazards are
organized regularly, to ensure that any possible dangers
are controlled effectively and that the teams’ efforts and
procedures are perfectly coordinated.
