Sunko Proje’s Excellence in Jetty Design at BOTAŞ Dörtyol Pier
Sunko Proje, a leading engineering firm in Turkey, has showcased its expertise in jetty design through pivotal projects at BOTAŞ Dörtyol Pier. These endeavors have significantly bolstered Turkey’s energy security and operational efficiency.
BOTAŞ Dörtyol Pier and the FSRU Terminal
Located in Dörtyol, Hatay, BOTAŞ Dörtyol Pier serves as a strategic energy hub, facilitating the transit of resources from nations like Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan to Europe. A standout feature is the Dörtyol FSRU (Floating Storage Regasification Unit) Terminal, inaugurated on February 7, 2018. This facility ensures a versatile gas supply without sole reliance on pipelines. Sunko Proje’s adept jetty design ensures the terminal operates safely and efficiently.
Hosting the World’s Largest FSRU: FSRU Challenger
The pier’s jetty accommodates the FSRU Challenger, the globe’s largest FSRU ship with a 263,000 cubic meter LNG storage capacity. Its operation has elevated Turkey’s daily LNG regasification capacity to 117 million cubic meters, underscoring Sunko Proje’s world-class coastal design capabilities.
Understanding Jetty Design
A jetty is a marine structure enabling large vessels to moor securely at ports or loading points. Sunko Proje’s comprehensive jetty design at BOTAŞ Dörtyol Pier enhances both safety and efficiency.
