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.
