The Bold New Venture for Big Capital - Tank Farms for Hydrocarbon Products Storage & Related Services
Vision World-class provider of independent tanks storage and related logistics services to regional and international oil and petrochemical industries
Business Aspirations
• To provide investors with a unique long-term investment opportunity that promises superior financial returns in a strategic sector of the global oil business • To create a lucrative spin-off business that benefits from the global network of strong contacts and pool of expertise connected with the exploration, production and trading of crude oil resources • To take business advantage of the ‘dividends’ from peace and stability in Negeri Sembilan that will enable the country to become a secure haven for energy securities of countries in the region • To promote and develop Negeri Sembilan into a leading hydrocarbon and petroleum products storage and transshipment center apart from being an internationally recognized oil exchange center and oil trading hub • To offer a new channel of ‘big business’ that will contribute significantly towards increasing Negeri Sembilan’s revenue and GDP.
Why Is This Service Crucial? The Drivers… •A ‘warehousing’ facility will allow for better handling of local energy demands by traditional big buyers in the oil market because it allows them to plan ahead knowing that they could always rely on the extra supply in hand at storage areas in case of shortfall •Limited investment for storage facilities at refineries/terminals has a huge impact on the other operations involved in the buying and selling of oil. A tank-for-rent service will be the perfect answer to these storage constraints •High occupancy rates in existing tank storage facilities around the world is a healthy indicator for the future growth of this sector. It is also an indication of the rising demand for strategic ‘warehousing’ for oil supplies as factors of uncertainty in the international oil market continues to influence pricing and inventory
The Drivers… Continued economic growth in Asia Pacific will have a direct and unprecedented effect on global energy consumption. The supply lifeline needed to feed the demand, will be complex enough to warrant extra storage facilities for shipment stop-overs and reserve inventory
To plan for a “National Strategic Petroleum Reserve” is a major aim in the drive for nations to ensure their energy security for continued domestic economic growth. Trusting their petroleum stocks to the safekeeping of a storage facility located in a peaceful and stable region like Negeri Sembilan will be a high priority agenda
Negeri Sembilan’s coastal area lies along the Malacca Strait – lucrative oil shipping lane waiting to be tapped
