Newton King Tanker Terminal serves the petrochemical industry, a major contributor to the Taranaki economy. Berths on both sides of the wharf are equipped with sophisticated monitoring, safety and firefighting systems which combine to provide a modern, safe and efficient tanker terminal.
It handles a wide range of petrochemical products and bulk liquids including crude oils, liquefied petroleum gas and methanol. These products are piped from onshore and offshore sites throughout the region before being pumped to dedicated load-out facilities.
Safety is paramount at the terminal. Frequent audits regularly put it in the top 10% worldwide for safety standards.
