Refined Products Storage

Crude Tankers III AS stores a broad slate of petroleum products and supports multiple customers simultaneously. Segregated tank systems allow different grades — and different owners — to be held side by side without ever meeting, each with dedicated or verifiably cleared routing.

Products handled include, among others:

• Crude oil and heavy feedstocks in appropriate segregation families.
• Diesel and gasoil, including ultra-low-sulphur grades requiring tight contamination control.
• Gasoline and gasoline blend components across octane and volatility grades.
• Fuel oil in heated, insulated tankage to maintain pumpability.
• Marine gas oil (MGO) and marine distillates for bunkering and supply.
• Jet fuel in dedicated, filtered systems where flight-safety-grade cleanliness is required.
• Sustainable fuels and biofuels, including blend components, in dedicated capacity.
• Blend stocks and additives supporting finished-grade manufacture.

Each grade is matched to tank service — coatings, heating, filtration and vapour handling — and to a segregation family that protects it from incompatible neighbours. This lets a single terminal serve traders, refiners, distributors and bunker suppliers concurrently, each confident their product is protected.

Specification protection is delivered through a disciplined, three-layer system. At the hardware layer, dedicated tank groups per product family, dedicated lines where flows justify them, and double block-and-bleed isolation at the manifold keep incompatible services physically apart.

At the procedural layer, every movement runs on a written, verified line-up; shared lines are displaced or pigged between grades; interface cuts on multiproduct systems are managed into tanks that can absorb them; and any change of tank service follows a documented cleaning and verification protocol.

At the evidence layer, first-foot samples confirm cleanliness after a service change, routine and pre-movement samples are sealed and retained, and laboratory testing verifies product before commingled or onward movement. Product integrity is not asserted — it is demonstrated, with a sealed sample and a signed record standing behind every claim.

Integrated distribution infrastructure supports marine loading, road tanker dispatch, pipeline connectivity where available and rail interfaces at selected facilities. Product movements are coordinated through centralised scheduling to maximise operational efficiency while minimising turnaround times and maintaining uninterrupted downstream supply.

Marine loading arms and hoses handle cargo-size receipts and deliveries under ISGOTT; multi-bay truck and rail loading gantries provide metered, additive-capable dispatch with per-lift ticketing; and custody-metered pipeline interfaces connect to refineries, terminals and grids where available. Centralised scheduling sequences these modes so that a vessel discharge, a rail lifting programme and a road dispatch schedule do not compete for the same tank, line or window.

The result is a distribution capability that keeps product moving predictably from receipt to final delivery, protecting your downstream supply commitments and demurrage exposure alike.

Quality is protected, sampled and evidenced rather than assumed. A sampling and testing plan is defined per grade in the storage agreement — sensitive grades such as jet and gasoline on tighter cadences than residual grades. Testing is performed by an accredited independent laboratory against the grade's specification sheet, and results are reported to you and retained in the parcel file.

Every parcel carries a complete batch history: certificate of quality at receipt, in-storage and pre-movement test records, blend and additive documentation, and outturn quality at redelivery. This batch traceability is what allows a buyer's surveyor, weeks later, to verify exactly what was stored and how it was handled.
