Construction Underway on TurkStream Terminal

South Stream Transport BV’s construction of the receiving terminal of the TurkStream Offshore Gas Pipeline is underway. The project is now being implemented onshore in Russia, and Turkey, and offshore in the Black Sea, the company said.

The terminal is being built by Petrofac, which was awarded the contract in September 2017, and its subcontractor, Tekfen. The work includes the preparation of the area where the terminal will be located in the Turkish Thrace region, near the town of Kiyiköy.

The construction of the landfall facilities on the Russian side of the Black Sea, near the city of Anapa, is nearing completion. These facilities are expected to be placed in service in 2018.

Allseas’ vessel Pioneering Spirit is working on the two offshore pipelines. The first line is currently being laid all the way up to the Turkish shore.
