Core Projects Group helps Rockport Terminals surpass 200,000 tons throughput

Rockport Terminals continued to operate at full capacity through the COVID downturn, moving break bulk pipe lengths and bulk DMA diesel for marine bunker fuel.

Core Projects Group Operational Safety and Compliance Team designed standard operating procedures and training for dockside, tank and supervision staff. Up to 12 transfers per month of bulk petroleum products and daily handling of break bulk products has continued for 1 year as of October 2020.

“We have been proud of our staff and their adoption of a culture of safety and compliance. Despite facing challenges from outside contractors who bring with them a different culture and safety approach, we have stood fast with our procedures and kept control over the site and ensured safe and efficient operations.”

Both Rockport and Core look forward to long term growth and making full use of the Rockport site.

Core Services First Unit Barge In Company Owned Port

E Squared Marine docked at the Rockport Terminals port with 2 x 30,000 barrel barges. Core Projects helped the arrival during the night and the barges and 2000hp tug made it into the protected port and docked at the concrete bulkhead. The barges were serviced the next day and night and made their way to the Port of Corpus Christi for a product change.
This was a proof of concept for the exercise as a unit barge had not docked there for 8 years. The depth of the channel is 8-10’ and is located right on BUS HWY 35, handy for product transportation by road or rail. There are also bulk tanks on site with 45,000 bbl storage and connected to the port by pipeline.
