Tuapse Oil Terminal

Tuapse Oil Terminal is an oil import-export terminal located 8 km (5.0 mi) offshore from the port of Tuapse in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. It is one of the biggest oil terminals on the Black Sea and serves as a hub for crude oil deliveries to places beyond. The terminal, which commenced operations in 2005, belongs to the Russian oil giant Rosneft.

The overall capacity of the import-export terminal is approximately 71 million barrels per annum (~9.7×10^ t/a) of oil but capacity will be increased to 121 million barrels per annum (~1.65×10^ t/a) by 2015. Tanker loading capacity is suitable for Aframax tankers up to 110,000 DWT. The terminal serves as a supplier for the nearby Tuapse Refinery, also owned by Rosneft.

The construction of the terminal started in 2003 and was completed by 2005 at a cost of US$120 million.
