en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chile's state-owned oil company ENAP has completed the installation of two new loading arms at the San Vicente Maritime Terminal (Terminal Marítimo San Vicente) in southern Chile, as part of its infrastructure modernization plan aimed at fully replacing the hydrocarbon transfer system by 2027.

The two loading arms, manufactured using European technology, are used to connect vessels with onshore infrastructure for the transfer of fuels such as gasoline and diesel. This installation marks the second phase of an asset replacement program launched in 2024. In the first phase, an old loading arm was sent to the original manufacturer in the Netherlands for major overhaul. The two new loading arms completed this month are specifically designed for transferring clean products. According to the plan, the third phase will replace the loading arms for "black" products (i.e., heavy petroleum-derived fuels) in the first quarter of 2027, thereby completing the full upgrade of the terminal's transfer system. Each newly installed loading arm is approximately 20 meters long and weighs about 23 tons.
