Joost Smits Hi Dan,

in our project we use the following definition of throughput: amount of products being imported and exported to and from the terminal. Using our definition, the throughput in your example would be 125,000 (50,000 out and 75,000 in). Internal transfers are not part of the throughput.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Joost

I just saw your inquiry on TankTerminals.com from 3 weeks ago. If this is still actual please kindly let me know more details like preferred region (i.e. East Coast/West Coast, North or South of USA), type of products, desired storage space and annual throughput quantity.

Thanks and kind regards

We could support the due diligence study by analyzing the terminal logistics, e.g. will the terminal perform as expected at the foreseen configuration (products at the terminal, number of customers, fleet mix etc.). If this is required, please contact me at js@systemsnavigator.com

Rob Luijendijk Dear Victor,

What you are querying about is really a so-called Due Diligence procedure or at least part thereof. Prior to a party buying a terminal and depending on what sort of acquisition this concerns (share transaction or asset transaction) an extensive investigation into all relevant aspects of a terminal is conducted, normally by outside experts in the different fields of expertise that come into play. Areas (high level) that need to be reviewed are, at least: Technical Operational, Environmental, Permits, Qualifications, Legal, Management, Financial, Commercial and perhaps other aspects that are specific to local circumstances. Depending on the size of a terminal and the level of detail required by the potential buyer , a full Due Diligence process may take from a few days to up to more than a week. Our mother company has extensive experience with Due Diligence processes of tank terminals.

Arifin /Malaysia Depreciation & amortisation should be around 40%-60% of TOTAL expenses(excluding financial costs).
Labour/staff cost around 15%-25%.
Insurance premium generally a function of tank terminal construction cost(EPC). May take 0.5% to 1% of EPC per annum.

For estimate of operating cost OPEX (which exclude depreciation and financial cost), USD 1 to USD 1.50 per cubic meter per month can be used as a guide. If it is 1,000,000 cbm, take say USD1-1.5million per month on OPEX.

Joost Smits Dear Amarjit,

Please elaborate on your question. If I understand correctly you are looking for a study to determine a location for a terminal; and if you have selected the location, the size/characteristics of the terminal.

Simulation modeling is a good tool to perform such studies. Examples of such project can be found here: www.systemsnavigator.com

Carlos PEREIRA Hello,

I believe that one of the first aspect that you would have to establish is the level of automation that you will have on your terminals.
In general petroleum operations are much more automated than chemicals.
You might have to consider purchasing of a Management System / ERP to manage your operations and customers invoicing (except if your terminal is small and/or not very automated).
It is difficult to provide an average cost without knowing the characteristics of your terminal.

Best Regards

Joost Smits Dear Suhaimi,

As mentioned by Carlos, there are a lot of ICT systems at terminals. It is impossible to state an average cost, but I can give you some areas in which such systems are used:

- decision support systems
- planning and scheduling
- HSE
- Training
- ERP systems
- communications

Joost

Rob Luijendijk Dear Jo, there are really no (public) websites with that sort of information. There are instrutions (research bureaus, consultants) that have (inidicative) rate levels, but again, not in the public domain. Also note that crude storage (at the receiving ens, line Singapore) is largely in the hands of refineries who do not store crude for commercial purposes but for feeding the refinery. Commercial crude storage, unlike that of petroleum products or chemicals, is not frequently practiced. If not for and within a refinery complex, storage of crude is done for strategic purposes or it is done to get the crude from the well to, e.g. an export port. Crude storage is rather seen as a cost than as a source of revenue/profit.

Sanjay Anand There is no thumb rule for typical power consumption in a terminal. Also sorry there is no corelation between pwer and capacity. The power consumption mainly depends on throughput or tank turns, capacity number & type of pumps, heating, blending and ancillary services.

Carlos PEREIRA Hello Victor,

You question is quite general, and I fear that it would be difficult to provide a perfect answer in a few lines.
However, I will try to give some insights based on my personal experience

TANK UTILIZATION :
As you would imagine, in order to build such an indicator, you would need following information :
- Tank Capacity : Commercial and/or Technical depending on the destination of the indicator Customer and/or Internal Staff
- Movements concerning the Tank

STOCK MANAGEMENT :
Your stock management will be done based on following aspects :
- (Petroleum) Product Characteristics
- Tank Characteristics (including Strapping Tables)
- Calculation Method : in case you realize Tank Measurements you could probably use API (American Petroleum Institute) Tables

CONTROLS :
Your Tanks certainly have Safety margins and you can use this information to avoid overfilling.

MANUAL/AUTO STOCK MANAGEMENT AND RECORDING
If your Terminal has a high level of automation (tank radars guages, presets, PLC, ...) you should be confortable to implement AUTOMATIC Stock Management and Recording.
Anyway you would probably need a Terminal Management System to manage and follow movements, stocks, ...

Hopefully this summary will help you,

Best Regards

3) I would say Yes. The throughput charges are dependent on the quantity of product handled in movements.

4) Indeed, this is a common practice in this industry to have throughputs as part of the commercial aspects of a contract. And of course, this is a matter of negotiation.

5) Again, this is a matter of negotiation. And of course, this cary vary between customers.

6) As these two items are commercial related, I would say Yes. And once again it depends on the negotiation of the contract between a customer and a storage terminal.

p 1) any Terminal with product in/out pumping facilities through dock line can provide Transshipment subject to local laws.
2) to my understanding except the quantum Bulk/Container & In/Out handling operation, there is no different procedure for Custom Clarence Or Outward movement of cargo.
3)Yes
4) Yes it is common to provide one throughput free (based on capacity hired). same is negotiable.
5) as above

Jon Watson Terminals storing bunker fuels often add value by blending. So, if they have 500cSt HFO and distillate fuels they can blend these to create any of the intermediate fuels.
This can be designed for splash/batch blending on the barge, or splash/batch or inline blending in the terminal.

Anon 1) it depends on the contract. $6.50/cbm seem to be more for petrochemical products. At that price range, it might be more for pure storage.

2) it depends. Most terminals will not allow it so as to maximise revenue. But it is possible as long as all parties agree. I believe Vopak is looking into this

3) Petroleum products usually use bigger tanks and thus the rates are usually cheaper. Operation-wise, most are similar. Mostly, it is a scale issue.

Corey Rogers 1) Agreements can be negotiated with many different charge out options. Commonly rates are structured to include - base price/m3 + throughput + shipping + payback for facility modifications (If required) + blending + drumming. Basically-you pay for your tank + labour + energy to service your needs as a customer. The rates get better the longer the contract & how good your negotiation skills are.

2) Tank sharing is generally allowed if customers agree and products are obviously of a similar grade. Very common on petroleum terminals. Not so much in chemical terminals due quality risks.

3) Essentially the terminals are very similar as noted above however, petroleum products are dirty compared to chemicals and have simpler handling processes. The price/m3 will be much lower in a petroleum terminal.

Lewis Bates Gas I have no connection with, but it occurs to me that storage capacity and storage use are two different figures, if a terminal has 1 million CuM refilled every week is a much more important measure than the strategic storage tanks which are refilled maybe once per year, or even tanks that (these days) are too expensive to fill. Refineries are not good at indicating the usability of their tankage - Terminals are better - but not much.

Rob Luijendijk Bij de beantwoording van deze vraag moet allereerst geografie van de markt gedefinieerd worden, bijv. Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerpen (ARA), geheel Europa, andere continenten, gehele wereld. Om het dicht bij huis te houden, een paar opmerkingen over het ARA gebied. Gezien de enorme grootte van dit havengebied en het belang van deze havens voor de opslag en overslag van olie, chemie, etc. zijn belangrijke en grote spelers in de tankopslagmarkt in het ARA gebied nadrukkelijk aanwezig. De bedrijven spelen een prominente rol en trekken daardoor dan ook de aandacht. Echter, ook in het ARA gebied zijn eveneens vele andere grotere en kleinere bedrijven op dit terrein actief. Er is dus zeker geen sprake van een oligopolie in het ARA gebied en juist de laatste jaren zijn er nogal wat nieuwe spelers bijgekomen. Op Europese schaal met ca. 800 commerciele terminals, is dit nog minder het geval en op wereldschaal is er ondanks een aantaal grote en bekende wereldspelers, sprake van een sterk gefragmenteerde markt.

Rob Luijendijk Hi Hugh, this depends to a large extent on how you define "oil storage capacity". If you take the total global oil storage capacity (dedicated/refinery + independent), their share is small. However, probably your question refers to the independent tank storage industry only (= about 450/500 M m³, max 20% of the total), the share of the investment banks is larger because we think that their share in the dedicated/refinery storage industry is negligible. Still, for the independent tank storage industry, a distinction has to be made between "owned" and "leased" or both at the same time. With respect to "owned", another factor is owned directly or owned indirectly.
Probably because of these ambiguities it is very difficult to say what there share is. Two things are rather sure though: it is not insignificant and it is rising.

Rob Luijendijk There will be crude storage capacity where 1) crude is explored (found), 2) where there are refineries, and 3) in (big) ports for logistical reasons or trading purposes. This website and its database focus on independent tank storage, storage accessible for third parties. All crude storage prior to the refineries is rarely in the hands of independent operators, virtually always operated by the crude exploration companies and/or the well known oil companies. This is the reason why relarively little information is found in this database. It is not our focus as we are trying to put transparency in the tank storage market that can be used by third parties. Nevertheless, you will find in our database a number of crude storage facilities that offer their services, albeit often on a limited scale, for third party crude storage. You can make a Registration at our website. With that you create a so-called Credit Account (with 100 free credit points) which will allow you to search our database. Once the 100 points are used up you can buy any additional number of points (€ 0.25/point) with a credit card.

Rob Luijendijk We estimate that the global tank storage capacity is around 1,800 million m³. Furthermore we estimate that as part of this total a maximum of 400 million m³ is capacity operated as independent/commercial tank storage capacity. Generally speaking, independent/commercial tank storage capacity is the capacity that is not operated by oil companies. Oil company's capacity is called dedicated storage capacity and is generally used for the relevant oil company only. Independent/commercial capacity is also referred to as third party storage capacity. Important to understand is that products stored at independent terminals is never owned by the owner/operator of the terminal, these products are always owned by third parties, the terminal's clients.

Rob Luijendijk Dear Ling Ling, the independent tank storage industry generaly serves the middle (assuming you mean here heavy fuel oil) and downstream (gasoline, gasoil, diesel, naptha) oil sectors (as well as chemicals, vegetable/edible oil, etc.). However, there are also independent tank terminal facilities that handle crude but this number is small relative to the other two sectors.

Rob Luijendijk A standard contract form stipulates a fee per cubic meter per annum or another period. These fees normally include a number of throughputs during that same period. If this number of throughputs is exceeded an additional throughput fee applies. If the pre-agreed number of throughputs is not reached, the original fee agreed for this contract remains unchanged. Only excess throughputs are being charged extra. Please see also my answer to Tank Leasing Price question.

2 years ago | Reply

Rob Luijendijk Tank storage fees are based on supply and demand. In other words, a lot of demand in a tight market leads to high storage fees. Another approach is of course that storage fees are based on operational, financial, overhead costs for a terminal. The total cost (e.g. per annum) divided by the total storage capacity results in (minimum) storage fee per cubic meter per annum. Furthermore, it has to be taken into consideration that not all capacity will be leased out permanently, so a correction for an expected occupancy level applies as well.

b) Planned capacity Rotterdam – 965K m3; Amsterdam – 770K m3; Antwerp – 963K m3 and ARA - 2,7 mln m3. Please note that this also potentially includes capacity for fuel oil, expectedly according to the percentages mentioned above.

Rob Luijendijk Edward, thanks for your positive feedback on our website.
Initially, the storage fee would be based on cost-based pricing, also taking occupancy levels into consideration. These calculated fees are then compared with existing fees in the relevant storage market or, if this is absent, estimated on the basis of a virtual supply/demand situation. This latter can also be achieved by discussions/negotiations with potential clients.

Stefan Dear Tsuma:

It is not an easy answer, and without conducting a study on the required facility, no one would be able to tell you with certainty. Even the price for one single tank can vary a lot i.e. what product would be stored, single or double walled, single or double shell, type of roof, are mixers inside, does it have to be heated, fire fighting equipment ... on top of that, you are mentioning jetty and a bitumen facility. Unless you spend some amount of money co conduct a study, you would not be able to put a budget on it. We are not talking about one single tank but a tank farm.

Hope it helps,
Stefan

Rowland Dicks I agree with Stefan's comments and would like to add a few other dimensions to the discussion. The terrain would affect the total cost as well as the length of pipeline, whilst the size of tank that would meet the proposed client needs is needed to add to the costing protocols. I don't think that there is enough information supplied relating to the question to make any more comments.

Rob Luijendijk Possible but not necessarily easy. Moreover, a tank container stores about 25/30 m³ which is often not enough for bulk quantities. Important is to clean the tank container to safeguard the integrity of the next product. What plays a role as well is the the type of authorosation of the tank container to carry products with different hazardous properties. Tank containers (like rail tank cars or tank trucks) are used for intermediate storage but usually not for a prolonged period. For bulk storage of liquid storage the services of a tank terminal, some of which have small tanks as well, are the best and safest solution.

Jon Watson The DM 250.2 portable digital density transmitter may prove a useful tool.
This is simply a vibating element density meter fitted at the end of a measuring tape. The operator can then lower this into the tank and capture density and temperature data (and convert automatically to density at 15C) at different depths. The tape extension, temperature, observed and base densities are then logged and can be transferred by Bluetooth to a portable (with belt clip) data logger and subsequently via bluetooth to a PC.
Typical density accuracy is 0.5kg/m3.
This one instrument can be used with a variety of different tanks and different tank conents. Where a density difference is found indicating an interface wetween the two levels at which readings were taken, the operator can then take further readings at intermediate levels to idenify the interface, typically to within 10cm.
The instrument is popular with operators who routinely have to otherwise take top middle and bottom samples and measure with a hydrometer as they have less equipment to carry round and say that it is safer when climbing tanks when less encumbered.
