About Petroleum Fuel & Terminal Co.
We own and operate bulk storage terminals for wholesale distribution, blending, and transport of petroleum products across critical commercial supply arteries.
Reliable Wholesale Terminal Operations for Liquid Bulk Energy
At Petroleum Fuel & Terminal Co. (PFTC), our core business is owning and operating state-of-the-art bulk storage terminals. We act as the indispensable operational bridge between upstream petroleum refiners, maritime importers, pipeline carriers, and downstream wholesale distributors.
Whether offloading deepwater crude tankers along the Houston Ship Channel, managing direct coastal barge traffic in Baltimore, or receiving refined batches off the Colonial Pipeline in Virginia, our facilities deliver rapid throughput, exact volumetric accounting, and stringent containment safeguards.
On-site terminal supervisors and certified technical inspectors conduct continuous line walks, integrity surveys, and strict carrier vetting.
Commitment to Compliance, TWIC Credentials & Safety
Petroleum logistics demands absolute rigor. We operate under stringent US Coast Guard MARSEC standards, EPA SPCC protocols, and DOT regulations.
Transportation Worker Identification Credentials (TWIC)
MANDATORYPersonnel, carriers, independent drivers, inspectors, and contractors working with or at our facilities frequently require valid Transportation Worker Identification Credentials (TWIC) issued by TSA and the US Coast Guard. Unescorted access is restricted strictly to active cardholders.
Modern Tank Monitoring & SCADA Telemetry
24/7/365Tanks are equipped with modern monitoring systems to ensure product integrity and safety. Precision radar level gauges deliver real-time gross and net volume calculations, temperature stratification logs, and automated overfill prevention systems (AOPS).
SPCC & Secondary Containment Dikes
EPA CERTIFIEDEvery storage tank is surrounded by engineered concrete or clay containment berms with certified impervious liners exceeding 110% of tank capacity. Vapor recovery systems capture volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during all loading transfers.
