It connects the port of Trieste, Italy, with Central European countries and supplies oil to refineries in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. The TAL pipeline supplies more than 50% of the Czech Republic&#8217;s total oil needs.<\/p><h2><strong>From Italy to Central Europe <\/strong><\/h2><p>The TAL pipeline starts at the Italian port of Trieste, from where it runs through the Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, crosses the Alps and continues through Austria to Ingolstadt in Germany, where it splits. The western part of the pipeline ends at Karlsruhe, the eastern part at Neustadt. In Ingolstadt, Bavaria, at Vohburg an der Donau, the TAL is connected to the Czech IKL pipeline, which transports the oil directly to the Czech storage tanks at the Central Oil Tank Farm in Nelahozeves. The total length of the TAL pipeline is an impressive 753 km.<\/p><h2><strong>MERO \u010cR is one of the owners of the TAL consortium<\/strong><\/h2><p>The TAL pipeline is managed by the TAL Group (TAL Consortium).
