High-Capacity Liquid Energy Storage in Rotterdam & Amsterdam
Amstel Shipping and Agency B.V. operates over 2.8 million m³ of independent liquid bulk storage capacity across the Netherlands. Designed for maximum operational versatility, our tank terminals accommodate light distillates, middle distillates, heavy fuel oil, crude oil, biofuels, and chemical feedstocks.
Amstel specializes in providing secure storage and handling solutions for crude oil, refined petroleum products, biofuels, chemical feedstocks, diesel, Jet A-1 aviation fuel, fuel oils, and other liquid energy commodities.
Equipped with deep-water jetties capable of berthing VLCC, Aframax, and Suezmax vessels up to 22 meters draft, our terminals ensure rapid discharge and loading throughput rates exceeding 3,500 m³/hour per manifold.
Tank Storage, Terminal & Transshipment Operations
Tank storage and logistics form the foundation of the company's activities. Amstel Shipping & Agency B.V. works with storage and terminal infrastructure to support the receipt, storage, handling, blending, transfer, and transshipment of petroleum products and other applicable energy commodities.
Amsterdam & Rotterdam Terminal Modernization Project
Our flagship modernization initiative is upgrading tank storage capacity across both terminals with next-generation nitrogen blanketing arrays, high-voltage shore power connections, and dedicated cryogenic LNG berths — engineered to extend operational life while cutting emissions intensity.
Terminal Engineering & Systems
Automated Tank Heating & Blanketing
Thermal oil and steam heating coils maintaining viscous fuels at precise temperatures up to 85°C. Automated nitrogen blanketing prevents oxidation and vapor emissions.
Inline & Tank Blending
High-precision inline blender manifolds and jet mixers for custom viscosity, flash point, sulfur, and cetane adjustment compliant with ISO 8217 standards.
Pipeline & Multi-Modal Access
Direct connections to major European cross-border pipeline networks, block-train rail loading racks, and inland barge jetties connecting to Germany and Switzerland.
Pipeline Injection Services
Real-time metering, batch scheduling, and SCADA-supervised injection into major cross-border pipeline networks serving our Rotterdam and Amsterdam terminals.
Metered Custody Transfer
High-accuracy Coriolis and turbine metering skids for custody transfer during pipeline injection, with automated ticketing and real-time volume reconciliation.
Multi-Product Batch Scheduling
Sequential batch injection scheduling across diesel, gasoil, and biofuel product slates, minimizing interface contamination and maximizing pipeline uptime.
SCADA-Monitored Injection Points
24/7 SCADA-supervised injection with automated emergency shutdown valves, leak detection, and full integration into our terminal control systems.
Custom Blending & Laboratory Testing
Precision fuel blending backed by in-house laboratory analysis, ensuring every parcel meets exact customer and regulatory specification before it leaves our terminals.
Precision Inline & Tank Blending
High-precision inline blender manifolds and jet mixers adjust viscosity, flash point, sulfur, and cetane to exact customer specification, compliant with ISO 8217 standards.
On-Site Laboratory Analysis
In-house laboratory testing for density, sulfur content, flash point, and water & sediment on every batch, verifying product integrity before release.
Certificates of Quality & Analysis
Certificates of Quality (CoQ) and Certificates of Analysis (CoA) issued for every parcel, supporting customer compliance and cargo claims documentation.
