Shell and LBC Tank Terminals have
signed an agreement for the
construction and operation of two
bitumen storage facilities to be
located at the LBC terminals in
Nantes and Bayonne. The facilities
are expected to be operational from
February 2013.

Shell intends to maintain its
bitumen distribution in France and
to offer long term security of supply
to its customers.

LBC’s strategy aims for growth
and sets out to further develop
facilities at its terminals in Le Havre,
Nantes, Bayonne and Marseille Lavera.

After completion of the new units,
LBC will have 5 bitumen facilities in
France. In total, it will have 14
storage terminals at ports in Europe,
USA and China. These are suitable
for handling a range of liquid
products.
