REFINERIES - MILFORD HAVEN REFINERY

Milford Haven refinery is a mid size complex refinery of 4.2 million tons per annum and is jointly owned with Murco Petroleum. Around 300 people from local towns work at the Milford Haven refinery and TOTAL is one of the largest employers in west Wales. In addition to making a commercial contribution to the area, the company also works with local communities to ensure that the environmental impact of the refinery is minimised.
There is a continuous system of monitoring and controlling emissions, effluent and noise, both at the refinery itself and at the nearby tanker jetty, which are situated within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. A strict policy of safety assistance is followed for contracting companies and all new arrivals undergo in-depth training on both technical and safety issues as part of the Health and Safety policy.
Milford Haven has a natural deep-water harbour that enables tankers weighing up to 275,000 dead-weight tons to dock. The jetty itself is 715 metres in length and handles around 70 tankers each month of different sizes. Thirteen pipelines connect the jetty to the refinery inland, passing beneath Milford Haven Golf Course.
