You may not realise the importance of bulk liquid storage providers, unless you need to use one. Navigator Terminals offer essential storage solutions for a wide range of substances, including the likes of crude, petroleum, chemical, bitumen, liquefied gas and biofuel products. We provide an essential interface between sea, road, rail and pipeline logistics. We do this using state-of-the-art petrol blending facilities and industry-leading road loading racks to deliver safe and efficient services. With more than 1.28 million cubic metres of storage capacity available at our terminals. So why is bulk liquid storage so important?
Bulk liquid storage has been described as “the intermediate accommodation for conservation of liquid products – i.e. products in large definite volumes but of no fixed shape.” Terminals provide a crucial role in the supply chain of bulk liquids, providing a storage solution between production and consumption of; crude, petroleum, chemical, bitumen, liquefied gas and biofuel products. These terminals are quite often pipeline connected to places such as chemical manufacturing facilities and gas processing plants.
Here at Navigator Terminals, we have four strategically located terminals! Situated in major UK ports – Seal Sands, North Tees, Windmill and Thames – our customers are provided with a unique storage solution for crude, petroleum, chemical, bitumen, liquefied gas and biofuel. Each facility is an Upper Tier COMAH Site, which means we meet certain safety requirements.
When it comes to bulk liquid storage, location is highly important. Terminal locations need to be placed where they can meet the needs of both suppliers and customers.
