Horizon Terminals Limited Celebrates Completion of Horizon JPUT Pipeline Connectivity Project in Singapore
Horizon Terminals Limited (HTL), a subsidiary of Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC), has successfully completed the Horizon JPUT Pipeline Connectivity Project in Singapore. The project, led by Horizon Singapore Terminals Pte Ltd (HSTPL) and Jurong Port Universal Terminal Pte Ltd (JPUT), marks a major milestone in HTL's global expansion and Singapore’s petroleum infrastructure enhancement.
Advancing Operational Efficiency
The project involved constructing a cutting-edge pipe rack connecting the two terminals, featuring:
- A 24-inch pipeline for Fuel Oil.
- A 20-inch pipeline for Clean Petroleum Products.
This infrastructure reduces operational risks and significantly decreases transfer times between terminals. The first pipeline transfer was completed in January 2024, delivering substantial cost savings and greater efficiency for customers.
A Legacy of Collaboration
Since their establishment on Jurong Island in 2006 and 2007, respectively, Horizon Singapore Terminals and JPUT have nurtured a strong partnership. Their cooperation began with a Mutual Aid agreement and the construction of a firewater line in 2009, culminating in this transformative pipeline project.
Leadership Perspectives
His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC and Chairman of HSTPL, highlighted the project's significance:
“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.”
Loh Wei, CEO of JPUT, added:
“This new infrastructure strengthens our partnership with Horizon Singapore Terminals, expands service offerings, and enhances the collaborative ecosystem between our terminals.”
Sustainability and Regional Impact
The new pipeline minimizes reliance on short-range shipping, reducing marine traffic and enhancing safety for long-range vessel movements. Additionally, it contributes to lowering carbon emissions, promoting more sustainable operations in Singapore's energy sector.
