The marine terminals sector handles the reception, storage, measurement, and transfer of crude oil, refined products, and NGLs between vessels, pipelines, and onshore tanks. Its role within the energy value chain is to ensure safe, efficient, and fully traceable ship–shore operations in environments with elevated operational and environmental risks.
Across the United States, Latin America, and Europe, marine terminals operate under strict regulatory frameworks, OCIMF/API standards, and advanced monitoring technologies to maintain continuity, asset integrity, emissions control, and maritime safety.
This section provides high-value technical content related to marine terminal operations. Key topics include:
The section includes technical articles, case studies, analyses, and operational insights that shape the maritime energy logistics landscape.
Marine terminals are strategic nodes in the global energy supply chain. Their performance influences operational continuity, safety, environmental protection, and international trade. Technical challenges, structural integrity, corrosion, maritime risks, emissions, and regulatory compliance, require applied engineering and informed decision-making.
