Oiltanking Odfjell Terminal & Co. LLC, Oman – OOT – is situated in the petrochemical hub of Sohar Industrial Port, strategically located at the entrance to the Persian Gulf.
Several world scale petrochemical complexes have recently been established in this port following the desire of the Sultanate of Oman to exploit the nation’s gas reserves and create a strong “value added process economy” as opposed to an energy export economy.
The first phase of OOT, operational since late 2008, consisted of 842 500 cbm of tankage, offering a diverse and flexible terminal facility for storage and handling of chemicals and petroleum products. Only few months after the inauguration of the terminal, OOT started a 425 000 cbm expansion project. The total capacity after completion of this project in May 2011 is 1 267 500 cbm. Shortly after, OOT embarked upon a further expansion of 27 300 cbm (12 carbon steel tanks) with completion expected second half of 2012.
The terminal has six modern berths, capable of handling ships from 1 000 up to 110 000 DWT. It also has 'state of the art' infrastructure for handling road tank trucks and iso-tank containers and multiple pipeline connections to the surrounding industry.
Due to the terminal’s strategic location outside the Strait of Hormuz, while only a few hours drive from Dubai, OOT is ideally located to support trade and cargo flows within the Gulf region as well as export flows from the Middle East to other continents and regions.
OOT is ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified.
