Who we are
An independent terminal operator built on operational discipline
Fuel Distribution BV owns and operates bulk liquid storage and distribution infrastructure in the Botlek area of Rotterdam, one of the most significant petrochemical clusters in Europe.
Since 1999 we have grown from a single dedicated storage contract into a multi-tank terminal serving traders, refiners, shipowners and industrial consumers. Our customers value us for the same three things they have always valued: capacity they can count on, people who answer the phone, and a safety record we are prepared to publish.
We handle a broad range of liquid products including middle distillates, base oils, biofuels, vegetable oils and select chemicals. Every operation is supported by our own laboratory, metering systems and in-house operations team, so product quality and quantity are verified before anything leaves the terminal.
- Dedicated and shared tank capacity with flexible throughput
- Deep-water berth access with barge and vessel handling
- In-house laboratory quality and quantity verification
- ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 aligned management systems

Infrastructure
Infrastructure engineered for throughput
From tank farm to jetty, our asset base is designed around one objective: moving product reliably and safely at the rate our customers need.
Our terminal combines atmospheric and mild-steel tankage, pressurised spheres, a manifold-based pipeline network and marine loading arms capable of serving ocean-going vessels and barges in parallel. Everything is instrumented, and every movement is logged.
Capital projects run continuously: we invest in tank refurbishment, vapour recovery, leak detection and automation so the terminal keeps pace with tightening regulatory requirements.
Why customers stay
Reasons our contracts get renewed
Capacity when you need it
Dedicated and variable capacity across 55 tanks means we can flex with your trading position rather than making you wait for a slot.
Safety without compromise
A published safety management system, annual external audit and continuous training protect your product, our people and the community around us.
Quality you can prove
Our on-site laboratory samples and certifies product on receipt and on dispatch, so you hold documentary evidence for every batch.
One named contact
Operational, commercial and logistics questions all route to a single account manager who knows your product and your schedule.
Multimodal by design
Vessel, barge, rail and road are all handled on site, letting you switch mode without moving product between locations.
Regulatory certainty
Customs, excise warehousing, Seveso obligations and environmental permitting are managed in-house by a dedicated compliance team.
