Horizon Terminals Ltd. (HTL), an Emirates National Oil Co. (ENOC) unit, has completed the Horizon JPUT Pipeline Connectivity Project in Singapore.

The project was undertaken by Horizon Singapore Terminals Pte. Ltd. (HSTPL) and Jurong Port Universal Terminal Pte. Ltd. (JPUT). ENOC said in a media release the project is a major milestone in HTL’s international expansion.

For Singapore, this means a major step toward petroleum infrastructure development, operational efficiency, and cost reduction, it said.

ENOC said the project involved the construction of a new pipe rack connecting both terminals, equipped with a 24-inch pipeline for Fuel Oil and a 20-inch pipeline for Clean Petroleum Products. The infrastructure, according to ENOC, will also mitigate operational risk, reducing transfer times between the two terminals and reducing costs for customers of both facilities.

HSTPL and JPUT have formed a partnership on Jurong Island, with the two terminals being built in 2006 and 2007, respectively. ENOC added that over the years, the partnership expanded with a mutual aid understanding and the construction of a firewater line in 2009, progressing to the current pipeline connectivity project, benefiting customers of both terminals.

“The successful completion of the Horizon JPUT Pipeline marks a pivotal moment not only for Singapore’s energy infrastructure but also for the region. This project strengthens our global footprint and reinforces ENOC’s position as a global energy leader”, Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC and Chairman of HSTPL, said.

“This new infrastructure strengthens our partnership with Horizon Singapore Terminals, expands service offerings for our customers, and enhances the collaborative ecosystem between our terminals”, Loh Wei, CEO of JPUT, said.

The new pipeline reduces the reliance on short-range shipping operations, decreasing marine traffic at the port and increasing the safety of essential long-range vessel movements, ENOC said. Additionally, this development lowers carbon emissions, supporting more sustainable operations, it said.
