VECENERGY Port Everglades Terminal - Fuel Terminal in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

VECENERGY Port Everglades Terminal is a fuel terminal situated at 1200 SE 32nd Street in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, within the bustling Port Everglades area. This facility is part of the broader fuel infrastructure network in Broward County, supporting the distribution of petroleum products to the local market. As an operational terminal, it plays a vital role in the supply chain for gasoline, diesel, and other fuels. The terminal operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule. These regulations mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The facility's NAICS codes (424710 and 454310) indicate its involvement in petroleum bulk stations and terminals, as well as fuel dealers. Located in a major port area, the terminal is strategically positioned to receive fuel shipments via marine vessels and distribute them via truck or pipeline. Its proximity to the Atlantic coast and urban centers like Ft. Lauderdale and Miami underscores its importance in meeting regional energy demands. The facility's operational status ensures continued support for transportation and industrial activities in South Florida.

The terminal is situated in a coastal urban environment near the Port Everglades inlet, which is ecologically sensitive due to nearby marine habitats and wetlands. Fuel terminals in such areas face spill risks that could impact local waterways and ecosystems. Secondary containment systems and regular inspections are critical to preventing releases. The facility's compliance with SPCC and UST regulations helps mitigate these risks, though the dense population and industrial activity in the region require vigilant environmental management.
