Our Terminals

Owned or leased, on clear terms

Capacity is offered in three main forms. A dedicated tank lease gives one client a specific tank for a fixed term, usually on take-or-pay terms, meaning the fee is due on the contracted capacity whether or not it is used. A throughput agreement charges per barrel moved in and out. Spot storage covers short holds where a tank is free. Whichever form you choose, the storage agreement sets the grade, the quantity, the term, the heating requirement if any and the measurement basis. Nothing is reserved or allocated until that agreement is signed.

Tanks matched to the product

Tank design follows the product. Volatile liquids need a roof that limits vapor losses, which EPA rules under 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart Kb also require above set vapor pressures. Heavy and waxy products need heat to stay pumpable, supplied by steam coils or thermal oil and held by insulation. Sensitive chemicals and biofuels may need coated tanks or a nitrogen blanket against moisture and oxidation.

Segregated and commingled storage

In segregated storage your product sits in a tank used for nobody else, and you receive the same barrels you delivered, less measured losses. In commingled storage, product of the same specification from several owners is pooled and each receives product to that specification. Commingled storage is often cheaper; segregated storage protects identity and quality.

• Grade changes require tank cleaning and a cleanliness inspection
• The heel, the product left below the suction, is stated in the agreement
• Heating temperatures are recorded and reported for heated grades
• Each receipt and release is tied to the client's allocation

Measurement to custody standards

Tank levels are read by automatic tank gauges to API MPMS Chapter 3.1B and checked by manual gauging to Chapter 3.1A. Gauging is done by innage, the depth of liquid measured up from the tank bottom, or by ullage, the empty space measured down from a reference point. Calibration tables convert level to volume, and temperature and sampling feed the correction to standard conditions. At every custody transfer, an independent inspector can witness or perform the measurement. Overfill protection follows API 2350, and tanks are inspected to API 653.

What a client sees

Tank-Farm Availability shows each tank as free, reserved or booked, with available days and price. Each tank also has its own tracking view. Once KYC is complete, the Buyer / Receipt-Holder Portal shows a buyer its allocation by product, quantity and tank, for example 50,000 MT of Jet A-1 in Tank #42.
