The terminal consists of two berths located on a steel and concrete jetty approx 2.5km long. Botas Terminal exports crude oil transported by pipeline from northern Iraq. The terminal comprises a steel pile jetty extending from the shore for 0.55nm SE then 0.55nm S. Two loading platforms, known as Platform "A" and Platform "B" on the outer part of the jetty, provide 4 tanker berths. Each berth has 4 loading arms.
