Shipping Services
The basis of the firm is logistics and distribution—shipping raw materials to locations where they can be refined, processed, and then used, or delivering them to places where there is a shortage. This entails transporting crude oil in big tankers to refineries, then transporting the finished product to the point of consumption for oil.
In addition to delivering crude oil and oil products, coal, bitumen, chemicals, and pressurized gas, Midland Tank Farm(Teppco) also owns and leases ships. We have 250 ships at sea at any given moment, and in 2018, 6,843 ship voyages were rented. The largest spot charterer in the world, Midland Tank Farm(Teppco), is in charge of a fleet of about 100 time-charter ships.
The mainstay of our operation at the Midland Tank Farm(Teppco) is the transportation of crude oil. This was the foundation of our business for the first 20 years after we founded it many years ago. One-third of the domestic crude oil transportation business is dominated by Midland Tank Farm(Teppco), which serves other significant domestic oil companies.
As a national strategic resources, we transport crude oil based on long-term contract with safety in mind service. Continuous safe operations build our company as a “reliable transportation partner”. We are in good relationship with worldwide oil majors, Asian oil majors and trading companies including Japanese and Chinese companies. And we will try to expand our customers and transportation volume.
