The Montreal East Terminal, which Valero Energy has operated since 1986, is a fuel storage site essential to supplying the North Atlantic basin market. The terminal stores a variety of petroleum products, including different grades of gasoline, distillate, jet fuel, renewable diesel, ethanol, and crude oil.
Loading Rack
The Montreal East Terminal has a tank truck loading rack with bottom loading facilities. This rack supplies our carriers and our customers (resellers and wholesalers) who supply the regions of Southern Quebec, the Greater Ottawa and Toronto areas as well as the Northeastern United States market.
The Montreal-Trudeau airport is also supplied by the Montreal East Terminal by pipeline.
Marine Terminal
Valero Energy leases port facilities from the Port of Montreal and the Port of Quebec to receive and ship all types of petroleum products throughout the year.
Investments
Over the years, the development of the Montreal East Terminal has required substantial investments to modernize its facilities. A recent project to modernize the loading ramp included the commissioning of a cutting-edge vapour recovery unit to reduce the release of VOC emissions into the atmosphere.
In 2014, close to $140 million was invested to increase its storage capacity.
