Annual report 2012 www.recope.com
A total of 136 cargoes were received by the year 2012, 130 of
these came via the sea (includes 2 light crude oil exports) and 6
via tanker 833.700.44 barrels were imported at the Caldera port,
No.6 Fuel Oil with 1.8% S, of which the company sold 311 barrels
to Sardimar and 883.389.44 barrels to ICE´s thermoelectric plant
in Garabito.
It is important to note that the number of tankers has declined
over the past three years after dredging the oil dock. As such,
there is an increased maximum draft of 12 meters that allows
ships to bring in more products; this contributes to economies
of scale in regard to charters.
