ENOC Group, a leading integrated global energy player recently announced the expansion of its compact station network in the UAE. This is in line with the launch of the Group’s latest compact station on Al Kalba Road in Sharjah, the 10th compact station in the country. This latest addition brings the total number of service stations in Sharjah to 27.
According to Industry sources, the latest compact station on Kalba Road is strategically located to cater to the fueling needs of motorists traveling to Fujairah and Kalba and will also serve the nearby area of Al Batayih in the Emirate. Kalba is one of the must-visit tourist places in Sharjah and one of the most popular destinations for ecotourism in the UAE and the launch of the latest compact station further aids the fueling requirements of visitors to the destination.
The compact station is 7,200 square metres in size and is equipped with three dispensers, allowing for fuelling on both sides of the station, offering special 95, Super 98, and diesel. In addition to auto tank gauging and electronic leak detection, the station features a Vapour Recovery System – a process that enables the recovery of 70 percent gasoline vapour emissions.
His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO at ENOC stated: “Our commitment to serve the nation through safe, smart, and sustainable fuelling options aligns with our larger goal to contribute to the UAE’s growth and development. Our compact stations provide easy access to fuel at the most convenient locations. We have a robust expansion strategy this year to meet the growing demand of our customers as we remain committed to fulfilling the energy requirements of residents and visitors across the country.”
Industry sources further added that a variety of best HSE practices are also implemented by the compact stations to surge safety precautions, including the installation of an audible alarm, an overfill prevention valve, pressure vacuum vents, and emergency vents for both the inner and exterior walls.
