Fuel Preparations (International) Limited (FPI)
Is the specialised processing division of the LCC Group which operates a massive 12-acre solid fuel washing, screening, and distribution facility located directly within the Port of Londonderry (Foyle Port).
As one of the largest dedicated solid fuel infrastructures in Ireland, its storage and handling capabilities are designed for continuous, high-volume sea-to-land logistics.
Industrial Storage Capacity
- 12-Acre Operational Footprint: The extensive footprint at FPI’s Port Road site in Strathfoyle is strategically divided into heavy-duty open areas and secure, covered zones.
- Flexible Stockpiling: Equipped to handle tens of thousands of tonnes of raw bulk material simultaneously, partitioned dynamically based on specific customer requirements.
- Covered vs. Open Storage: Employs extensive open-air storage pads for weatherproof industrial materials alongside large covered sheds to protect sensitive domestic fuels from the elements.
Material Diversity & Processing Capabilities
- Product Handling Spectrum: Actively manages high-volume throughput of Bituminous Coal, Metcoke (Metallurgical Coke), Petcoke (Petroleum Coke), and Anthracite.
- Washing & Screening Plant: Features high-capacity industrial washing and mechanical screening lines to process raw, sea-imported fuel into uniform, graded sizes.
- Automated Bagging System: Houses a state-of-the-art, high-speed automated bagging facility that packages domestic fuels directly from bulk stocks onto pallets for immediate distribution.
Intermodal Handling & Logistics
- 24/7 Operations: The facility maintains continuous 24 hours per day, 7 days per week vessel unloading and processing schedules to optimize turnaround times.
- Deep-Water Vessel Discharge: Capitalizes directly on Foyle Port’s Lisahally deep-water berths, enabling bulk carriers up to 62,000–65,000 DWT to unload raw materials directly to the facility via high-capacity mobile harbour cranes.
- Dual-Freight Distribution: Integrated with high-volume inbound sea freight pipelines while supporting rapid outbound land logistics via an on-site, high-capacity commercial weighbridge system to load road trucks.
