New York-listed PBF Logistics has entered into an agreement with Crown Point International to purchase its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI Operations, for USD $107 million in preparations for the upcoming International Maritime Organization (IMO) sulphur fuel in 2020.
The acquisition includes a storage facility with approximately four million barrels of multi-use storage capacity (of which over 50% is heated storage), an Aframax-capable marine facility, a rail facility, a truck terminal, equipment, contracts, and other idled assets located on the Delaware River near Paulsboro, New Jersey.
“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.
