Terminal Members' Role in Transportation

our Terminal Member Companies
ILTA member company bulk liquid
terminals and aboveground storage tank facilities ("tank farms") interconnect
with and provide services to the various modes of bulk liquid carriers, namely
oceangoing tank ships, tank barges, tank trucks, tank rail cars, and pipelines.
For example, crude oil can arrive in
Texas via tanker, and be transferred to a tank farm and shipped by pipeline to refinery
storage tanks. After the crude oil is refined, the resulting refined petroleum
products (gasoline, for example) could be transferred into a storage tank farm and then
distributed in bulk via pipeline or tank barge. The gasoline could arrive in any state and
be transferred again to a tank farm. Tank trucks then pick it up at the tank farm
and deliver it to gasoline stations, where consumers pump it into their cars.
