Terminal services

Fuel oil storage, handling, bunkering and dispatch

One terminal handles the whole movement: receipt into tank, blending to specification, and out-turn by truck, barge or vessel — with the same team on both ends of the paperwork.

01 · Storage

Bulk fuel oil storage

Tankage is the core of the terminal. We hold No. 2 fuel oil, ultra-low sulphur diesel, marine gas oil and selected residual grades in tanks from 40,000 to 180,000 barrels, each with dedicated pumps and lines for its service.

  • Dedicated or shared tankage, from one month upward
  • Heated coils for residual and heavy grades
  • Daily gauging, temperature and water-cut reporting
  • API 653 inspection and integrity records available on request

02 · Handling

Handling, blending & additisation

Blending is done in-tank or in-line to your specification, using base stocks already in our system or product you nominate into the terminal. Additive dosing and certification sampling happen before the load, not after.

  • In-tank circulation and in-line blending
  • Additive dosing with a certificate of addition
  • Pre-loading sampling to ASTM and ISO methods
  • Retention samples held for 90 days

03 · Marine

Marine bunkering & vessel transfers

Two berths on the ship channel handle barge and vessel bunkering as well as cargo receipts from coastwise and import vessels. Transfers follow joint pre-transfer checklists, and independent surveyors can attend at your nomination.

  • Berth windows agreed at nomination, 24 hours ahead
  • Pipeline transfer rates up to 1,200 m³ per hour
  • Joint gauging and pre-transfer checklist with the vessel
  • MARPOL-compliant transfer documentation and samples

04 · Logistics

Truck loading & logistics

The loading rack runs around the clock for tank trucks and trailers, with driver access controlled by the gatehouse. Tickets print at the rack and are reconciled against your nomination on the same shift.

  • Rack loading 24/7, weekends and holidays included
  • Gatehouse check-in, ID verification and driver induction
  • Printed tickets plus electronic dispatch records
  • Same-shift reconciliation against the nomination

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Storage terms, nominations, sampling and berth limits — the detail customers ask for before signing.

No. 2 fuel oil, ultra-low sulphur diesel, marine gas oil and selected residual grades. Each product gets dedicated lines and manifolds; heated tankage is available for the heavier grades.

Spot capacity is released month to month when tanks are open. Term agreements start at six months, and most customers run 12 to 24 month agreements with a defined throughput band and an agreed ancillary services schedule.

Email the nomination to storage@maverickfueloilterminal.com by 12:00 CT the working day before the movement. Vessel and barge nominations need 24 hours notice; truck slots can often be confirmed the same day, subject to rack availability.

Yes. We work with the major inspection companies and hold retention samples for 90 days. You can nominate your own surveyor, or we can appoint one on your behalf against the terms in the storage agreement.

Draft is limited to 40 ft at the main berth, with maximum LOA and manifold spacing agreed at nomination. Barges up to 90 m can load at the inner berth while a vessel is alongside, subject to harbour master approval.

Gauges, temperatures and water cuts are issued each morning by 08:00 CT. Closing stocks and a full movement log follow at month end so your book stock can be reconciled line by line.
