Fuel products arrive at Newport Terminal by pipeline from our Geelong Refinery and marine import terminals at Holden Dock in Yarraville. Some products also arrive by road tanker.

Newport Terminal has bulk storage tanks for transport fuels, and vehicle filling gantries for fuel, solvents and oils and greases.  Because the Terminal stores and handles significant quantities of fuels, solvents and lubricants, it is designated as a Major Hazard Facility.
