CRC Oil Storage Depot was an oil terminal in Hong Kong owned by China Resources Petroleum Company Limited (CRC). The oil storage depot was located on Nga Ying Chau, a former island off Tsing Yi.[1]
Esso Standard Oil (HK) Limited owned the depot.[2] Esso gave Gammon a £222,000 contract to do excavation for its oil storage facility. The project consisted of reclaiming a seven-acre site. Around February 1965, Gammon started the reclamation project.[3] Esso also gave Gammon (Hongkong) Ltd a £172,000 contract to build the docking infrastructure to support the oil terminal. By October 1965, two-thirds of the work had been done.[2]
The depot was 39,000 m2 (0.015 sq mi) in 1987 and had the ability to hold 21,000 m3 (740,000 cu ft) of oil and associated materials.[4] The site had 23 oil tankers in 1990.[5]
The site is now occupied by the Villa Esplanada private housing estate.[6]
