President Danilo Medina attended on Friday, 26 October 2018, the inauguration of the Grupo Propagas Coastal Petroleum Dominicana fuel terminal in San Pedro de Macoris. The new terminal has storage capacity for 40MM of propane, enough to supply the local demands for a month. The terminal now has two docks with capacity to service two Panamax fuel tanker ships. The facility has capacity to manage 750 thousand gallons per hour of propane and 300,000 thousand gallons per hour of liquid fuels.
The expansion is part of the positioning of the Dominican company as a regional hub for Central America in the import, storage and dispatching via sea and land of fuel.
The keynote speech was by Arturo Santana Reyes who recalled the start of Propagas operations 63 years ago. Coastal Petroleum was started 18 years ago to ensure stability in fuel availability for company clients.
