Digital terminal operations
A central terminal management system plans and records every product movement, from vessel nomination to final release. Operations, planning and customer service all work from one reliable source of information.
This cuts paperwork, shortens turnaround times and gives full traceability for every litre we handle.
Automation & control
Tanks, pumps, valves and pipelines are monitored and controlled from our 24/7 control room. Automated tank gauging and alarms give operators an accurate, real-time picture of levels, temperatures and flows across the terminal.

Engineered layers of protection
Technology is at the core of how we keep people, products and the environment safe. Several independent systems work together to prevent incidents, and to detect and contain them quickly if they happen.
- Overfill protection with independent high-level alarms
- Gas and fire detection across tank pits and jetties
- Emergency shutdown systems for rapid isolation
- Fixed fire-fighting systems on tanks and loading areas
Data for our customers
Customers get timely, accurate information on their stock, movements and documents. Clear reporting helps them plan cargoes, manage inventory and make faster commercial decisions.

Digital at the core of our operations
What our technology means for you
Smart systems help us deliver a safer, faster and more transparent service.
Faster turnarounds
Better planning and automation shorten vessel and transfer times.
Accurate quantities
Automated gauging and metering reduce measurement errors.
Timely documents
Digital records mean documents are issued promptly after each movement.
Full visibility
Clear reporting on stock levels and movements.
Safer operations
Independent alarms and shutdown systems protect people and product.
Secure systems
Protected networks keep operational data safe.
Keeping assets in top condition
Planned maintenance and inspections keep our tanks, pipelines and equipment safe and reliable.
- Planned maintenance scheduled to minimise disruption
- Tank inspections inside and out, at regular intervals
- Pipeline integrity checks and pressure testing
- Condition monitoring to spot problems before they cause downtime
Our technology roadmap
Strengthen the foundations
Keep core control, gauging and safety systems modern and well maintained.
Digitise workflows
Move more nominations, approvals and documents onto digital platforms.
Use data better
Use operational data to improve planning, maintenance and energy efficiency.
Connect with customers
Give customers easier access to the information they need, when they need it.
Can I get regular stock reports?
Yes. Customers receive regular information on stock levels and movements. Contact us to discuss formats and frequency.
How are tank levels measured?
Tanks are fitted with automated gauging that measures level and temperature, supported by manual checks where required.
What happens if an alarm is triggered?
Control room operators respond immediately, following set procedures. Critical alarms can trigger automatic shutdowns.
How is operational data protected?
We separate operational and business networks, control access tightly and train staff to recognise cyber threats.
