Tampa Port Petroleum Terminal Complex Wins Award

An Eagle Award by the Associated Builders and Contractors’ Florida Gulf Coast Chapter recognizes the Port Tampa Bay Petroleum Terminal Complex as the most outstanding project in the $25-100 million Industrial category. It was presented to the joint venture partners of Batson-Cook Company and Balfour Beatty Construction at an April 17 ceremony in the Hilton Tampa Downtown.

The $54 million, multi-phased project effectively consolidates facilities that are shared by multiple users, increases berthing space for ships and allows for more vessels and larger ships to dock and offload product. Port Tampa Bay handles some 16 million tons of oil, gas, and jet fuel annually.

"We at Port Tampa Bay are very excited that our newly modernized petroleum terminal complex has been honored with this top honor," Paul Anderson, port president and CEO, said. "The port is the energy products gateway, handling approximately 40 percent of the motor fuel for West and Central Florida. This thriving business sector has a massive influence on our economy and the daily lives of our large and growing population."
