About the St. John’s Marine Terminal

Irving Oil operates an oil product terminal at the St. John’s Marine Terminal.

Products handled at this facility include:

  • Regular and supreme gasoline
  • Distillates – Combustible liquids such as furnace oil, ultra low sulphur diesel, and marine gas oil

The following information outlines the potential effects of these substances in the unlikely event of an emergency.

  • Gasoline is an odorous, flammable liquid. Gasoline is a health hazard and falls under the “combustible” hazard category under federal E2 Regulations. Gasoline can be easily ignited by high temperatures, sparks or flames. Gasoline can create an explosive atmosphere if an unplanned release occurs.
  • Distillate products are odorous combustible liquids. Distillates are a health hazard and fall under the “pool fire” hazard category under federal E2 Regulations. Distillates can release vapours that can form flammable mixtures. This can create an explosive atmosphere if an unplanned ignition occurs.
  • Exposure to high concentrations of gasoline and distillates by inhalation can result in headaches, nausea, dizziness, and/or a burning sensation in the chest. Direct contact can cause skin irritation.
  • Gasoline and distillates can contaminate soil and water if they are released to the environment.
