October 5, 2020: Tank storage company Oiltanking (Hamburg, Germany) says a wholly owned subsidiary has commissioned a new butane storage tank at the port of Antwerp, Belgium, that will store gas on behalf of Ineos for use at its nearby petrochemical manufacturing facilities.
The subsidiary, Oiltanking Antwerp Gas Terminal (OAGT), says the fully refrigerated, double containment tank has a capacity of 135,000 cubic meters, doubling the company’s storage capacity at Antwerp. A second fully refrigerated tank with similar storage dimensions is also under construction on the same site, it says.
OAGT is one of Europe’s largest independent terminals for storage, throughput, and distribution of liquefied petroleum gas and petrochemical gases. Oiltanking is a subsidiary of Marquard & Bahls (Hamburg), an energy and chemicals trading and logistics company.
