Overview
Rincon crude oil blend is transported west to the Pacific port of San Vicente near Concepcion Bay in Chile via the 200 mile long TransAndino pipeline. Typical cargo size is 60,000 cubic meters (370 thousand barrels), although larger cargoes of up to 115,000 cubic meters (720 thousand barrels) can be lifted by using a reverse lightering operation.
