Operations

Motus Energy currently manages two terminals, Motus T1 and Motus T2, strategically located in the Port of Brownsville, Texas, allowing for increased movement of commodities between the United States, Mexico and other international markets. The facilities have a combined storage capacity of nearly 900,000 barrels, with additional expansions underway.

The Motus terminal facilities boast flexible piping and manifold configurations and can accommodate maritime based delivery and shipments as well as rail and truck-based transactions. A recent expansion increased unloading capacity to as many as 78 railcars per day and included the installation of four new automated loading racks with a high-efficiency vapor control system, increasing the daily loading rack throughput to nearly 90,000 barrels per day.

The terminals can now receive, store, blend and deliver 215,000 barrels of clean products; 95,000 barrels of lubricants; 130,000 barrels of refined paraffin waxes; and 450,000 barrels of fuel oil. 

In addition to storage of multiple bulk liquid commodity products, Motus’ terminal is the only high-volume, shore-to-vessel liquid transfer terminal in the Port Of Brownsville, with loading rates up to 20,000 barrels per hour. The facility liquid is connected to the liquid cargo dock and capable of handling Panamax class vessels.
