Crude oil
Light, medium and heavy grades, sweet and sour
Held for traders and refiners between voyages, or blended to a refinery's feed specification. Waxy and heavy grades are kept heated and mixed so they stay pumpable and free of sludge.
- Standard
- Received against the assay of each grade
- Appearance
- Dark brown to black
Typical specification
| Property | Limit | Test method |
|---|---|---|
| API gravity | 20° to 45° | ASTM D287 |
| Sulfur | max 3.5 % m/m | ASTM D4294 |
| Pour point | max +30 °C | ASTM D5853 |

| Vapour pressure | Reported on receipt | ASTM D6377 |
| Salt content | Reported on receipt | ASTM D3230 |
| Total acid number | Reported on receipt | ASTM D664 |
Reference grades
| Grade | Typical quality | Stored at |
|---|---|---|
| Brent Blend | API about 38°, sulfur about 0.4 % m/m | Rotterdam |
| WTI Midland | API 40° to 44°, sulfur max 0.20 % m/m | Houston |
Storage and handling
- Tanks
- External floating roof tanks from 30,000 to 45,000 m³, with side-entry mixers
- Heating
- Steam coils keep waxy and heavy grades above their pour point
- Vapour control
- Floating roofs limit breathing losses; vapour recovery on loading
- Blending
- In-tank blending to a refinery feed specification, witnessed by a surveyor
Diesel EN 590 10 ppm
Ultra-low sulfur diesel
Road diesel to the European standard, with sulfur held to 10 mg/kg. Stored on dedicated lines so it never picks up sulfur from heavier grades, and finished with FAME and additives to the buyer’s specification.

Storage and handling
- Tanks
- Ambient carbon steel tanks with internal floating roofs
- Sulfur protection
- Dedicated lines and pumps, flushed and tested after any change of service
- Finishing
- FAME blending up to B7, and additive injection for lubricity and cold flow
- Water control
- Tank bottoms drained and tested before every release
Virgin fuel oil D6
Straight-run residual fuel oil
Straight-run residual fuel oil, traded as refinery feedstock and bunker blendstock. It has no single governing standard, so every parcel is received against its certificate of quality and tested by an independent surveyor before it enters a tank.
