Canaport is a Canadian marine crude oil receiving terminal located on the north shore of the Bay of Fundy at Mispec Point, approximately southeast of the city of Saint John, New Brunswick. Commissioned in 1970, Canaport was the first deep-water crude terminal in the Western Hemisphere able to receive supertankers. Canaport was built by Irving Oil, which has continuously owned and operated the facility throughout its existence. The terminal is currently configured exclusively as a crude receiving terminal in order to supply the Irving Oil Refinery, which was itself constructed in 1960.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Supply )〕 ==Crude terminal infrastructure== Canaport consists of the following infrastructure: * A floating mono-buoy located approximately southwest of Mispec Point to which tankers attach onto and swing freely 360° with the tide. * An undersea pipeline ( in length) that transfers crude oil from the mono-buoy to the shore. * Tanks on shore with over of storage capacity. * A land pipeline ( in length) that transfers crude oil from the storage tanks to the refinery in the east end of Saint John. The terminal was originally designed to have 5 storage tanks measuring in diameter. The owner of Irving Oil, K.C. Irving modified the terminal's design to include 6 tanks so each tank could each have a single letter that when combined would spell I-R-V-I-N-G when viewed from the water. Subsequent expansions of the refinery in the 1970s, 80s and 90s resulted in the construction of additional storage tanks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canaport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
