CANADA –-Work on a new jet fuel delivery system for Vancouver International Airport is about to get under way after Port Metro Vancouver (PMV) issued a permit on Feb. 24 for the receiving terminal and storage tanks to be built on federal land. PMV said it expected work, by the airline fueling consortium Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corp., to begin this month and take up to two years. The first phase of the project includes six 35-meter high steel storage tanks capable of holding a combined 80 million liters of jet fuel as well as operations buildings, a foam storage and incident command center and spill containment infrastructure. Work will begin later this year on the marine terminal capable of handling 75,000 ton product tankers from Asia, and a 14 km pipeline linking the terminal on the Fraser River to Vancouver airport (JFI Sep.14’15).
