Tank storage in Houston

Houston puts product close to the largest energy market in the United States. From our Houston storage we offer the same model as in Rotterdam: leased tank capacity with handling, inspection and laboratory run by our own people.

Overview

Storage in the heart of the US Gulf Coast energy trade

The Houston Ship Channel carries one of the densest concentrations of refineries, petrochemical plants and petroleum terminals in the world. Product that is refined, blended or traded on the Gulf Coast needs tankage close to the channel — for waiting on vessel, for blending into a cargo, or for holding between contracts.

Panoramix offers tank storage in Houston on spot, seasonal or multi-year terms, for diesel, jet fuel A-1, fuel oil and crude. Lease or shared capacity is quoted with the handling around it: berth planning for ships and barges, truck and rail loading, and transfers to and from the local network.

Quantity and quality are settled on site. Our inspectors gauge and sample at ship and shore, and the laboratory runs the analysis behind the same fence line, so a Houston release carries the same certificate as a Rotterdam one.

Why traders keep product in Houston

Storage on the channel turns a cargo into an option: product can wait for its vessel, be blended to the buyer's specification, or sit as cover while the paper market moves. Lease terms flex between spot and multi-year so the tank cost follows the trading position rather than leading it.

What is stored

Diesel to EN 590 and the ASTM grades used in the US market, jet fuel A-1, fuel oil and crude oil, each in the tank type and with the heating, blanketing and segregation it requires.

United States regulations

Houston operations answer to SPCC for oil spill prevention and 33 CFR 154 for marine transfer facilities, alongside the ISPS Code. The full list of the regulations each site works to is on the HSE page.
