“The acquisition of the East Coast Storage Assets will be immediately accretive and will strategically position the Partnership for the upcoming IMO low-sulphur fuel specification change in 2020 by adding significant marine-accessible storage assets to our portfolio that are capable of handling a range of material from finished petroleum products and residual fuel oils to heavy, high-sulphur refinery feedstocks,” said Matt Lucey, PBF Logistics Executive Vice President.
