LBC is constructing and will operate a terminal that will become an integrated part of MEGlobal’s Supply Chain, secured through a long-term contract and pipeline connection.
The Belgium-based company has finalised an agreement with MEGlobal Americas, Inc. for the design, engineering, construction, and operation of a new terminal at Oyster Creek in Freeport, Texas.
The terminal will be constructed adjacent to MEGlobal’s monoethylene glycol (MEG) manufacturing plant and connected by pipeline. It will be located on property owned by MEGlobal Americas and leased to LBC Freeport Terminal LLC.
LBC Freeport will be an integrated part of MEGlobal’s Supply Chain, secured through a long-term contract and pipeline connection. The main products to be handled are monoethylene glycol and diethylene glycol. Upon receipt of the necessary regulatory permits the construction commenced in August 2017 and the terminal is planned to be operational during 2019.
Regional Business President Americas, John Grimes said: “We are delighted to enter into this agreement and partner with MEGlobal Americas on this project. With over 30 years of historical experience in handling Glycols, this project opportunity fits our portfolio and investment risk models and is aligned with our business strategy to further optimize, build-out and expand our business. This project very much fits our expertise in constructing, managing and operating chemical terminals and we look forward to a successful business partnership with MEGlobal.”
