Port Colborne Bulk Biofuels Storage and Marine Refuelling Facility

The Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority proposes to construct a bulk fuels storage and marine bunkering facility at 3 Lake Road in Port Colborne, Ontario. The project includes three fuel storage tanks, truck unloading and transfer facilities, and an approximately 850-metre pipeline connecting the terminal to vessel fueling ports at Wharf 16 on the Welland Canal. The project is being developed in partnership with Canada Clean Fuels, which will operate the terminal, and is intended to support lower-carbon marine transportation and the Great Lakes Green Shipping Corridor initiative. The project has received funding support from Transport Canada through the Green Shipping Corridors Program. Environmental protection measures include secondary containment, double-walled pipelines, leak detection, emergency shut-off systems, spill response measures, and stormwater treatment systems.
