Oil Terminal Services Across the Full Infrastructure Lifecycle

Our four terminals offer 3.18 million m³ of storage in 60 tanks ranging from 20,000 m³ to 120,000 m³. Customers use our tankage to hold inventory, build cargoes, blend to specification, break bulk for regional distribution and manage the timing between purchase and delivery.

We store product owned by our customers. We do not trade, so we have no commercial interest in your product beyond keeping it safe, accurately measured and on specification. Storage is available at our four terminals for the industries we serve.

We develop new storage and marine infrastructure for our own network and with partners. We have been involved from greenfield concept to brownfield expansion: our 290,000 m³ Singapore expansion added capacity in 19 months from investment decision to commissioning, and we are leading the planning of the 840,000 m³ Borneo Oil Storage Terminal masterplan.

Development is where most of the value and most of the risk in a terminal is decided. The decisions made in the first 12 months, on site, capacity, marine configuration and phasing, fix most of the lifetime cost.

A terminal masterplan fixes where each tank, pipe rack, pump, berth, road and building will sit for the life of the facility. Getting it right means safer operations, lower cost and room to grow. Getting it wrong can mean decades of workarounds.

Our planning team has produced masterplans for greenfield terminals, brownfield expansions and depot rationalisation projects in nine countries, including the design of the marine interface for each site.

Storage terminals are heavy industrial facilities. An 80,000 m³ tank full of product puts about 70,000 tonnes of load on its foundation. A berth must absorb the energy of a loaded tanker coming alongside. Our engineers design for those loads, and for the fifty-year service life that follows, in line with our process safety approach and the tank gauging and control systems we run.

For most of our customers, the ship/shore interface is where storage becomes logistics. Our network operates 20 berths, from barge berths in Rotterdam to a VLCC-capable berth in Fujairah. We plan and engineer marine infrastructure for new and existing terminals.

Our terminals are connected by 48 km of transfer pipelines, including links to refineries, industrial users and regional pipeline systems, such as our pipeline-connected Houston terminal. Inside a terminal, the network of lines, manifolds and pumps decides how flexibly products can move and how reliably they stay segregated.

Consulting is where Asian Oil Storage began. Since 2018, we have delivered 34 projects in nine countries for developers, industrial companies, distributors and public-sector stakeholders, including our work on the Borneo Oil Storage Terminal. Our advice draws on the experience of operating terminals ourselves, so our recommendations are practical to run as well as sound on paper.

A single terminal gives you capacity. A network gives you options. Customers use our four-hub network to position product close to demand, take advantage of regional price differences, manage seasonal changes and protect supply when shipping routes are disrupted.
