Our Ijora Jetty and Depot

We own and operate a dedicated jetty which enables demurrage-free operations and explains our efficiency of service. Our Jetty and tank farm in Ijora, with a combined onshore and floating storage capacity of 54,000 metric tons but considering that our property is over 65,000 square meters we are now expanded to 70,000MT for PMS, AGO and Kero and building 2 Nos Jet Fuel storage tanks of 15,000MT capacity with a separate loading gantry equipped with modern and state-of-the-art loading facilities undoubtedly enables us to stock up petroleum products all year round and reduce our delivery lead times to the minimum. We currently have the ability to load 5,000MT in one day.

We have sea-going vessels and barges (MT Orion1 – 5000 metric tons and MT Shujah5 – 6000 metric tons, Barge Heyden Lamissa – 14,000MT, Barge Heyden Bamidele – 40,000MT) that undertake marine haulage of petroleum products to our storage terminal and other third party terminals. We have over seventy (70) trucks for inland deliveries of petroleum products to our client’s locations.

As a compliment, we have a trailer park that can accommodate between 300  400 tanker/trailers at any point in time. All these enable us to operate efficiently without unnecessary demurrages
