Saunders Wins AU$44 million Contract to Expand Diesel Storage Capacity

Jul 31, 2023

Saunders International Limited (ASX:SND) has secured a AU$44 million contract from Quantem to expand diesel storage capacity at the Pelican Point terminal in Adelaide, South Australia. The project, supported by the Australian Government's Boosting Australia's Diesel Storage Program, aims to more than double the current diesel storage capacity, ensuring fuel security and meeting minimum stockholding obligations introduced under the Fuel Security Act (2021).

The expansion will involve constructing three 30,000 cubic meter diesel storage tanks with associated interconnecting piping. This initiative is crucial for Australia's energy security as diesel plays a pivotal role in critical infrastructure, transport, industries, and emergency response. Construction is scheduled to begin in Q4 2023, with the site expected to be commissioned by Q2 2025. The project will contribute to Saunders' revenue and earnings in FY24 and FY25.
