Overview:

Strategically placed to receive imports and serve the internal regional markets of South America, Vitco handles a full range of products. Its location at the clean port of Zàrate enables excellent regional distribution of oil products, whether by barge, vessel or truck. There is also land for expansion, as well as potential for a pipeline. Indeed, demand has merited a further expansion phase to build three new tanks, each with a capacity of 11,000 m3. Scheduled completion date: July 2013.
