Tank Storage Management

At Benma B.V., we deliver secure, reliable, and fully compliant storage management solutions for drude oil and refined petroleum products.

Our tank farm in Europe, America, and Asia offers a total volume of more than 2.47 million cubic metres, distributed among 126 tanks with estimations from 6,500 m³ each, and 15 tanks with approximately 100,000 m³ each. These are steel tanks with floating roofs and are equipped with advanced sealing systems using primary, secondary and, in some cases, tertiary seals. All the tanks are 13.5 m high and have a diameter of 55 or 98 metres respectively. Each tank is equipped with all the devices required to ensure safe operation, inspection and maintenance.

The tanks are connected via underground transfer-pipes using centralised remotely controlled piping, and run between both the tanker pier and the tanks themselves, linking them to the pumps which serve the long-range pipelines. In addition the EBV and IVG caverns in Rotterdam and Fujairah are likewise connected to Benma tank farm.

Our tank facilities handle wide range of energy products, from temperature-controlled crude oil tanks to dedicated storage for refined products. The tanks are capable of temporarily storing and handling various grades of crude oil and refined petroleum products such as diesel fuel, jet fuel, gasoline, chemicals and vegetable oils after it is transferred via transfer-pipelines from the tanker pier jetties.

Built to exceed global standards, our tank farms feature double-walled containment systems, high-performance pumps, automated monitoring, and advanced leak detection. Environmental protection is a top priority, supported by vapor recovery units, stormwater management, and spill containment systems that goes beyond regulatory requirements.
