Petroleum storage built around your cargo
Petroleum Terminals is a petroleum tank storage business with ten years of operation and tank farms in Rotterdam, Fujairah and Durban. We work with customers arranging storage for individual cargoes, import programmes and continuing petroleum trading requirements. Our purpose is to connect the commercial requirement with a clearly defined storage arrangement: the right product specification, the right capacity, a workable movement plan and terms that the customer understands.
Three hubs. A requirement-led approach.
Our tank farms in Rotterdam, Fujairah and Durban provide the geographic focus for our storage services. Customers can begin with a preferred hub or discuss the constraints that matter to their trade. A location alone does not establish suitability. We assess each enquiry against its product, intended start, duration, receiving method and onward movement before confirming the proposed arrangement. Available capacity and product acceptance are confirmed for the individual enquiry.
Storage for a single cargo or a continuing programme
We support short-term tank storage enquiries and longer-term leasing discussions. A spot cargo may need a tightly defined arrival window and an exit plan; a recurring import programme needs a view of inventory, replenishment and dispatch over time. We help establish those differences at the beginning, so a quotation can be assessed against the operation it is intended to support.
- Diesel and gasoil storage enquiries with a stated specification.
- Fuel oil and marine fuel storage requirements, including any heating or handling questions.
- Jet fuel and crude oil enquiries assessed for product compatibility and the proposed facility.
- Terminal nomination and coordination within the agreed storage scope.
Who we serve
Our customers and enquirers include petroleum traders and trading companies, fuel importers, distributors, procurement managers, and logistics and operations teams. We also welcome refiners, producers, petroleum marketers, marine fuel traders and bunker suppliers with storage requirements. First-time buyers can use our guides and checklists to prepare a clear brief. Brokers and representatives should identify their role and authority to act for the customer.
A clear commercial process
The starting point is a storage requirement, rather than an assumption about what is available. We review the cargo and timing, identify missing information and clarify the receiving and dispatch plan. The next stage is to define the proposed capacity and services, the charging basis and the conditions that must be met before proceeding. Customers should be able to distinguish an initial enquiry, a quotation, a reservation and a signed storage arrangement. These stages are not interchangeable.
Due diligence alongside the storage decision
Our petroleum transaction due diligence services help customers examine terminal contacts, supplier claims and proposed transaction documents within an agreed scope. We make the questions, evidence and limitations of a review explicit. An introduction is separate from verification, and a document review is separate from physical inspection or a guarantee of performance. Where specialist inspection, testing or professional advice is needed, that requirement should be identified before the transaction advances.
Practical knowledge for better decisions
Our Knowledge Centre brings together storage guides, location information, pricing explanations and practical resources. It is designed to help customers prepare useful enquiries, compare quotations and understand what needs independent confirmation. The enquiry checklist, quotation comparison worksheet and capacity reference can be used before a call and returned to as a requirement develops. Educational guidance does not replace the specifications and terms of a particular storage contract.
Start a storage conversation
Tell us the product and specification, required capacity and units, preferred location, intended start window and expected duration. Add the receiving and dispatch methods and any known handling requirements. If some details are still being developed, identify them as open questions. We can then discuss the next steps on the basis of your actual requirement, without treating a preliminary enquiry as a confirmed booking.
