Tanco Terminals Invests in Expansion at Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor
Tanco’s eight-acre facility at Burns Harbor currently includes 11 tanks with more than 375,000 barrels of liquid cargo capacity. The company handles 20-25 million gallows of products for customers in various industries, including construction, maritime fuel and roofing. The expansion will create economic, environmental and social benefits by expanding Tanco’s ability to transload liquid cargo between ocean vessels, river barges and rail.

The expansion project also includes a new office and maintenance hub, steam boilers, a thermal fluid heater, multiple electric motors for mixers, high viscosity-capable pumps for multimodal transfers and improved safety and emergency response measures.
Future Expansion
Kip Middendorf, vice president and managing director of Tanco Terminals, said this investment will allow for future expansion, including the ability to provide product transfer services for ISO tank containers when Ports of Indiana opens its new international container terminal at Burns Harbor in the future.
