OFFSHORE MARINE TERMINALS 



An inventory of marine terminals is essential for purposes of trans- 

 portation and environmental planning. Existing terminals, even those 

 indicated to be suspended or abandoned, are retained by a company for 

 future use or sale, as there is a state statute prohibiting issuance of any 

 permit allowing construction of a new pipeline from offshore oil and gas 

 extraction operations across state tidelands or submerged lands until 

 December 21, 1977, or adoption of the Coastal Plan by the Legislature, 

 whichever occurs first. Thus, each of the 11 offshore terminals in 

 Southern California has potential for near-term use of onshore facilities. 

 Offshore terminals were mapped (Appendix I) to indicate locations and 

 associated pipelines. The following tables list operators, products (crude 

 or refined), number of bouys, sources of products, depth limitations, 

 associated onshore storage capacities and pipeline characteristics of off- 

 shore terminals.
