Amsterdam, Netherlands
Europe's gasoline blending hub. We arrange tankage, blending, barge freight and inspection in Amsterdam's gasoline and jet fuel terminals.
Amsterdam calls itself the world's largest gasoline port. Rather than refining crude, its terminals store gasoline components and blend them to specification, including bio-components and butane, for traders and export markets.
European gasoline is priced as Eurobob on the Amsterdam–Rotterdam barge market. Amsterdam also supplies about half of Schiphol airport's jet fuel by pipeline. We arrange tankage, blending, barge freight and inspection.
Blending and Eurobob
Argus Eurobob is the European gasoline benchmark, based on FOB Amsterdam–Rotterdam barges. The E10 blendstock grade settles ICE and CME futures. Terminals in the port include Evos Amsterdam and others offering gasoline and diesel blending.
- Gasoline component storage and blending
- Eurobob-grade barge loading
- Jet fuel supply for Schiphol
- Independent inspection and sampling
Reaching the port
Ships reach Amsterdam through the North Sea Canal and the IJmuiden sea lock, which is 500 metres long, 70 metres wide and 18 metres deep. The port earns a growing share of its revenue from non-fossil activities.
