The RMT project consists of 80 km 132 KV power transmission system and 132/33 KV substation, to supply Oman Tank Terminal Company (OTTCO) a Crude Oil storage facility, with power at Ras Markaz.
The purpose of the OTTCO Crude Oil Terminal is to provide long and short-term strategic storage options for our customers in a safe and secure location south of the Arabian Gulf and the Straits of Hormuz. OTTCO enjoys the geo-political value of Oman’s location in the Gulf region and the strategic significance of Ras Markaz, a location on Oman’s Indian Ocean coastline, 1,000 km from the Strait of Hormuz, a potential choke point in the oil supply chain. Ras Markaz provides easy access to markets in South-East Asia and Africa as well as land and sea access to producers in the Middle East.
The Ras Markaz Crude Oil Terminal’s close connection to Duqm Special Economic Zone will enable customers to refine, import, export and store crude oil. These dynamic new facilities will be an appealing option for the global oil trading community in need of both long- and short-term strategic storage solutions.
