LBC Nantes Launches New Bitumen Facility for Shell, Ahead of Schedule
LBC Tank Terminals has completed the first new bitumen facility for Shell in its LBC terminal of Nantes, with a capacity of 12.000m3. The first shipment of bitumen was received in January, one month ahead of completion.

These new state-of-the-art facilities will allow blending and loading for the full range of penetration grades. Operations will be automated, allowing ships to be unloaded within less than 10 hours and a dozen of trucks loaded within 1 hour. The Nantes new facility can handle up to 32 KT of bitumen per month.

LBC Tank Terminals is the only global independent storage provider offering bitumen storage capacity in France. Total bitumen capacity offered by LBC in the region is currently 33.900m3 serving the areas of Nantes, Bayonne and Marseille.

Additional capacity will be available soon with the launch of a new depot of 14.000m3 for Shell in Bayonne.

Over the longer term, LBC’s strategy is focused on growth. Within France this will be achieved through further development of the group’s existing facilities at each of its French operations
