Logistics

To ensure fluent and efficient flow of raw materials and finished products, ORLEN Group uses an infrastructure which consists of: fuel terminals, land and offshore transshipment facilities, a network of industrial raw material and product pipelines as well as road and rail transport.

The most important events in the area of logistics in 2009 were;

• Launch of the “Self-service” project aimed at higher automation of the refuelling process at the Company’s own terminals;
• Restructuring of terminals in order to reduce their operating costs;
• Establishing a Loss Management Unit in the area of Logistics to minimise loss;
• Increasing the capacity of the Fuel Terminal in Wrocław from the original 12,500 m3 to over 50,000m3 by 2011 – a project related to the construction of a pipeline to Wrocław;
• Construction of a fuel pipeline from Ostrów Wielkopolski to Wrocław – date of completion scheduled for 2010.
