Between the oil fields of the world and the users of derivative products, independent terminal networks like Oiltanking perform vital connecting services. Independent storage terminals are those which are not owned by the clients they serve and do not own any of the products they handle. Over the last three decades, Oiltanking has become the world’s second largest company in this competitive field. Its clients include private and state oil companies, refiners, petrochemical companies, and traders in petroleum products and chemicals. To customers, Oiltanking serves as a trust-worthy custodian of valuable liquids. To business partners, the company offers the proven ability to manage terminals profitably. In developing capital-intensive terminal facilities alone or together with substantial local business partners, the financial strength of parent company Marquard & Bahls AG is a valuable resource. For uncommon customer service and favorable returns on its investments, Oiltanking relies on the ability and entrepreneurial spirit of its people.

P.D. Gram & Co. AS is a Norwegian privately owned company, whose main business is arranging and managing shipping and real estate investments. The firm was founded in 1982 by Peter D. Gram as a partnership and was transformed to a limited company (AS) in 1995. Since 1982, P.D. Gram & Co. AS and its owner has been involved in syndication of more than 35 vessels with an investment value of over USD 400 mill. Most of these investments have, until they have been sold, been managed commercially by P.D. Gram & Co. AS. The firm started its business by specializing in managing and arranging investments of car carriers, where the vessels were timechartered to the major operators. Subsequently, in the mid eighties, the firm expanded into the tanker sector. The car carrier market remains the primary area of interest, while on the tanker side focus is on specialized vessels like LPG tankers. In 1987 the firm started a real estate section, arranging and managing mainly office properties in Oslo. Real estate investments have subsequently been developed in the rapidly growing Polish market, where a separate organization has been established with partners. The investments in vessels are held by different investor groups organized by P.D. Gram & Co. AS in different jurisdictions. The management activities are primarily carried out from the main office located at Aker Brygge in the centre of Oslo. A sister company with the name of Gram Agencies (UK) Ltd. was formed in 1995 simultaneously with Mr. Gram taking up residence in London. This is a representative office to better maintain international financing and investment contacts.
