Rotterdam-Rijn Pijpleiding NV
Rotterdam Rijn Pijpleiding NV (RRP) operates two pipeline systems with a total length of 475 km. The main line for the transport of crude oil is a 177 km long 36" pipeline running from Europoort via Rozenburg pumping station to Venlo. In Venlo, the crude oil is stored in tanks with a combined capacity of approx. 210,000 m3 before it is pumped to its destination point. The northern destination point is the Ruhr Oel refinery near Gelsenkirchen; the crude oil reaches this refinery through a 43 km long 24" pipeline from Venlo to Wesel and a 24"/16" pipeline directly connected to this pipeline, owned by Ruhr OeI. The southern destination point is the Rheinland refinery of Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH near Cologne, with plants at Godorf and Wesseling; this refinery is reached via a 103 km long 24" pipeline. In addition, RRP operates a 155 km long pipeline from Pernis to the border near Venlo (Herungen) with an intermediate pumping station at Lieshout for the transport of oil products such as petrol, naphtha, diesel, heating fuel and jet fuel. This pipeline is the main supply line for the pipeline system, owned by the German company Rhein-Main-Rohrleitungstransportgesellschaft mbH (RMR), which ships the products from the border to southern Germany. Throughout the years, some 200 million Euros have been invested in the pipelines and installations.
