Contract awarded for the Trans Balkan Pipeline

The Trans Balkan Pipeline Company, a consortium of Russian, Bulgarian and Greek companies awarded ILF with the design of the Trans-Balkan Pipeline. The pipeline which is around 300 kilometers in length leads from the Bulgarian Black Sea port of Burgas to the Greek Mediterranean port of Alexandroupolis. The transport system includes tanker unloading and loading facilities and two large storage depots with a total of two million cubic meters storage capacity at both ends. This project demonstrates that strategically important projects are still being implemented despite current worries of recession which also affect the oil industry.
