Route edit

The pipeline starts from the marine terminal in Genoa. It runs through the Alps and the Great St Bernard Tunnel to Collombey-Muraz in the Rhône Valley in the Swiss canton of Valais, where it supplies the Tamoil oil refinery at Collombey-Muraz.

History edit

The construction of the pipeline started in 1960.[1]

Since 2015, the oil transport has stopped due to Tamoil's decision to idle the oil refinery of Collombey-Muraz.[2][3]

Technical features edit

The diameter of the trunkline is 12 inches (300 mm) and 18 inches (460 mm) in diameter.

The capacity of the pipeline is approximately 1.1 million barrel of crude oil per year.
