HES Wilhelmshaven Tank Terminal
We are Germany’s largest independent liquid bulk terminal, located at Germany’s single deepest draft port.
Strategically located in the Port of Wilhelmshaven, our state-of-the-art infrastructure has ample deep-water berths and facilities which allow storage and transshipment of a wide range of liquid bulk products.
We offer 1.3 million cbm storage capacity for a wide range of liquid bulk products, ranging from crude oil and clean petroleum products to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Our flexible and safe infrastructure accommodates extensive seagoing, road and rail traffic. The terminal offers excellent connections to the heart of Europe’s most important refining and chemical processing industries as well as some of Germany’s main consumption areas.
The former refinery was acquired in 2011 and transformed into a large-scale tank terminal facility and has privately owned jetties with four seagoing vessel berth positions. In 2020, a Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (LSFO) production unit has been taken into operation. This start-up creates a unique LSFO market position in Northwest Europe and enables us to add the production of more environmentally friendly LSFO to our service proposition for the oil & gas industry.
Besides these facilities, there is plenty of vacant land available for further expansion. We have a strong ambition to further diversify our business – seizing opportunities from the ongoing raw materials and energy transition by responding optimally to the opportunities that this transition offers us for products such as hydrogen, CO2 and clean fuels. The terminal is very well positioned to do so, with ample land available for development, and extensive jetty and rail capacity. This way, we are making a meaningful contribution to the region’s decarbonization goals, in line with the European Green Deal.
