LIQUID BULK
TERMINAL
 WHAT IS A
LIQUID BULK
TERMINAL?

Liquid bulk terminals are equipped to

handle cargoes in liquid and gaseous
forms, such as crude oil, oil products,
LNG, and LPG.

OIL TANKERS LNG CHEMICAL AND

PARCEL TANKERS
 WHAT IS LIQUID BULK CARGO?

LIQUID BULK CARGO IS CARRIED UNPACKAGED IN ANY QUANTITY

AND USUALLY TRANSPORTED BY SHIPS.

 The loading and unloading -
equipment used
Need special equipment such as loading hoses or loading arms. The loading
arms can have one or two liquid lines and, if needed, can be equipped with a
vapor line. The loading arms can be installed on jetties or regular quay walls.

The capture and recovery of hydrocarbon vapor

or volatile organic compounds (VOC) to reduce
emissions is vital in modern oil and gas terminal
handling and storage.
The yard of a liquid
bulk terminal usually
contains a mix of tank
storage facilities.
BULK
TERMINALS
FOR CRUDE OIL

The oil is stored in tanks above or below

ground. Then, the oil is delivered to a
refinery.The refined product may be
sent to another terminal. From there,
gantries will load the product into road
tankers, rail tankers or barges.
ARRIVAL OF VESSEL AT
LIQUID TERMINAL
REQUIREMENTS Vessels must not moor to a quay,
leave a quay or move within the
port area without the permission
of the port.

Vessels are obliged to use tug

assistance to the extent that the
master of the vessel deems it
necessary.

The port may order a vessel to

use a tug or tugs for safety
reasons.
REQUIREMENTS The vessel shall be moored or
anchored in the location indicated
by the port.

A vessel which is not loading or

unloading cargo must not be
moored to a quay without the
permission of the port.

A vessel with a cargo of

flammable liquid may only use
ropes or cables equipped with a
rope lining for mooring.
REQUIREMENTS
The main engine of the vessel
must be ready for use at all
times.

Vessels with a cargo of

dangerous goods must display, on
the mast, international signal flag
B in the daytime and red light at
the night time
PROTECTIVE ZONES OF LIQUID
QUAYS

A tanker vessel is always surrounded by a

protective zone that extends to a minimum
distance of 30 metres from the vessel, in
accordance with standard SFS 3355.
 CARGO HANDLING

The loading or unloading of Reliable communications Before the beginning of

the vessel must take place in
co-operation between the
operator and the master of
the vessel.
between the vessel and the
operator must also exist by
means of telephone, portable
VHF/UHF or two-way radio.
loading or unloading, the
operator must make sure that
the rainwater outlets on the
quays are empty and that the
shut-off valves are closed.
The importance of bulk liquid terminal

Bulk liquid storage companies provide

an essential interface between sea,
road, rail and pipeline logistics for
many different substances including
chemicals, transport and heating
fuels, animal feed and foodstuffs.
 STORAGE
Those that own the product in their
tanks – for example major oil company
terminals, and trading companies, or

Those that provide third party storage

– that do not own the products in their
tanks.
IMPORTANCE OF
LOCATION

When considering the location of a terminal it is

essential to consider access to logistical
connections – is there unrestricted access to
international ports, inland waterways, pipelines
and road networks.
