An offshore loading platform around 700 meters from the terminal will allow for tankers to connect and pump LPG directly to the onshore facilities comprising piping reticulation, road-tanker filling station, gas cylinder filling station, as well as fire protection systems, workshops and other ancillary services.
To facilitate and increase end customers’ accessibility to LPG for comparably more efficient and apparently safer cooking, heating and warm water, the supplier Petroleum and Gas Co (Fiji) PTE Limited t/a Bluegas, a 100% locally owned family company and subsidiary of the Hari Punja Group, decided to invest in the establishment of the Baro LPG terminal at the company’s Lami site. INCREASED ACCESSIBILITY TO LPG WITH A NEW TERMINAL It goes without saying, that the dependency on imports leaves the country to struggle with high energy prices and energy security in general. Liquified petroleum gas (LPG), unleaded petroleum, diesel, kerosene, and premix are imported from Australia, New Zealand and Singapore with tankers. It counts amongst the small island developing states (SIDS) in the Pacific and is, due to its geographical location and setup, forced to import fossil fuel to cover most of its energy needed for domestic, commercial and industrial applications as well as transportation. Requiring a safe, fast and easily installed off- and onshore gas pipe connection, Bluegas got granular on several available options and finally chose a long length SoluForce RTP (Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipes) solution.Īlthough Fiji consists of about 300 dispersed volcanic islands, only a third are inhabited and a major part of the country’s population (~853,000) as well as its economic activities are concentrated on the two main islands Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. To increase the accessibility to liquified petroleum gas (LPG) for end customers, Bluegas, a locally owned family company invested into an LPG terminal at their Baro, Lami, site on Viti Levu.
Due to its location and setup, it is heavily dependent on imported fossil fuel to cover a great part of its energy needs. Fiji is an island country, an archipelago in the heart of the Pacific Ocean.
