BWC Terminals completes expanded renewable fuels terminal at the Port of Stockton

In California, BWC Terminals (BWC) celebrated the official completion of its expanded renewable fuels terminal at the Port of Stockton, marking a significant milestone in strengthening California’s renewable fuels and maritime infrastructure. BWC executives, customers, and partners attended the ribbon-cutting event in addition to special guest California Congressman Josh Harder.

The state-of-the-art terminal includes the first newly constructed Marine Oil Terminal Engineering and Maintenance Standards (MOTEMS)-compliant dock built in California in nearly 30 years. It will play a vital role in advancing the renewable fuels supply chain across the state. It is designed to safely and efficiently transfer renewable diesel and biodiesel from marine vessels, supporting California’s efforts to decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors such as heavy-duty transportation. The facility features modern safety and environmental systems, including spill containment, fire protection, seismic resilience, and upgraded vessel mooring infrastructure.

BWC has rapidly expanded its Stockton terminal by over 500% in the past five years to meet California’s growing demand for renewable fuel storage and logistics. Constructed under a Project Labor Agreement with the San Joaquin Building Trades Council, the expansion project created 30 high-quality construction jobs across nine trades. The renewable fuels terminal and new dock support 18 full-time positions at BWC’s Stockton facilities.
