Siot, the Transalpine Pipeline
company, reported that it unloaded 40.2 million tons of crude
oil from 423 ships in 2024. This achievement is notable as it
represents the company's best performance since 2019, before the
pandemic.
This success was reached even with Pontile 1 at the Trieste
Marine Terminal being out of service for an extended period due
to its undergoing reinforcement and consolidation work. This
project was awarded to Fincantieri Infrastructure Opere
Marittime and has a budget of 44.4 million euros.
Over the past year, Siot achieved record investments
exceeding 37.5 million euros and saw an increase in employment
levels. Additionally, the arrival of the 22,000th ship at the
Marine Terminal was celebrated, with over 1.7 billion tons of
crude oil unloaded since operations began.
Siot also highlighted that 2024 marked the year of strategic
projects like Tal Plus, funded by the Czech company Mero,to
ensureg energy security and independence for the Czech Republic
from oil supplied through the Russian Druzhba pipeline. As part
of this project, the company replaced pump-motor systems at the
pumping stations in Trieste, Cavazzo, and Paluzza, successfully
updating 9 out of 12 pumps. In December, capacity tests were
completed using the newly installed equipment, confirming the
ability to transport 50.2 million tons of crude oil annually.
"We are proud to have achieved our best operational
performance in a year when we also became stable producers of
electricity and thermal energy, thanks to high-efficiency
cogenerators," said Alessio Lilli, President and General Manager
of the Tal Group. "We remain committed to providing excellent
service and contributing toCentral Europe's economic growth and
energy securitye."
