Document Description
The TransMontaigne Operating Company plans to expand rail service at the terminal in the location of the existing rail line, requiring construction of new track and associated rail infrastructure on-site, and to relocate and consolidate the existing truck racks (each rack is currently two bays) into one combined four-bay truck rack. By providing increased rail capacity and a new truck rack built to current standards, the project will not change the existing land use on-site but will allow the terminal to offload, store, and distribute greater quantities of petroleum-based products and renewable feedstocks by ship and by truck.
