How do you Offload Larger Tankers and Handle Increased Parcel Sizes in Shallow Water Conditions?

Our client faced exactly this challenge. Leveraging deep expertise in onshore and offshore terminal development, the Riverlake Terminal Development team delivered a pragmatic, fast-track solution.

Instead of waiting for full-scale infrastructure, a semi-permanent CBM system was engineered – minimizing CAPEX while enabling immediate operational capability. The design was fully tailored to site-specific metocean, bathymetric, and soil conditions, covering both mooring systems and onshore and offshore product transfer (subsea and flexible pipelines).

The result:

– Delivered on schedule and within budget
– A low-cost, fast-track solution that added value for the client
– Immediate infrastructure flexibility for offloading larger tankers

This project highlights a broader trend: in a volatile energy market, asset owners are seeking ways to increase throughput, flexibility, and value – without committing to large upfront investments.

Riverlake continues to support terminal and tank farm operators with smart, cost-effective strategies to optimize and diversify their operations.
