AFETOP Petroleum — Storage Providers Wanted
Storage Providers Wanted — AFETOP Markets Your Tank Capacity to Our Global Client Base
You have certified tank capacity. We have a global client base of traders, refiners, producers and buyers actively looking for storage in your loading port. AFETOP Petroleum presents your tanks, throughput slots and ancillary services to qualified counterparties — and we would be delighted to receive your capacity proposal.
Your Tanks Deserve More Than an Empty Listing
If you operate a certified tank farm, an independent terminal, a port storage facility or a floating storage unit, you already know the problem: idle capacity does not sell itself. You can publish a tank list, wait for the phone to ring, and hope the enquiries are real. Or you can put your capacity in front of counterparties who are already looking for exactly what you have — in your port, for your product, at your volume.
That is what AFETOP Petroleum does for storage providers. We do not lease your tanks, and we do not take control of your asset. We market your available capacity to our global client base, match it against live storage requirements, and introduce you only to qualified, documented counterparties. You keep commercial control at all times. We bring the demand.
We are actively expanding our network of certified storage providers across the major loading ports, and we would be pleased to receive your proposal — whether you have a single tank available or a full terminal block.

What Storage Providers Say About Working With AFETOP
Short, direct feedback from terminal operators and storage owners who have joined the AFETOP network. In accordance with our mutual NCNDA and standard confidentiality obligations, the identities and locations of our counterparties are withheld. The substance of their feedback is reproduced faithfully.
We had tank capacity available that was sitting idle. AFETOP brought us a term lease enquiry within ten days. The process was professional and the NCNDA was in place before any details were exchanged.
As a terminal operator, what matters is serious demand. The enquiries we receive through AFETOP are documented, product-specific and from real counterparties. No time wasters.
We listed 45,000 m³ of clean product capacity. AFETOP matched it with a European trader within two weeks and we signed a six-month throughput agreement.
What I appreciate is that AFETOP does not try to control the commercial negotiation. They bring the counterparty, they protect the channel with an NCNDA, and we close the deal directly.
We offer bonded storage and were struggling to reach international traders. Through AFETOP we received three qualified enquiries in the first month, all with real volumes.
Our FSU had available capacity offshore. AFETOP understood the ship-to-ship requirement immediately and introduced a counterparty that was ready to move. Straightforward and professional.
Client names, company names and precise terminal locations are withheld by design. AFETOP Petroleum operates under strict confidentiality and mutual NCNDA with every counterparty in its network. This is not a limitation — it is the standard our clients expect, and it is the reason they trust us with their capacity, their cargoes and their commercial relationships.
Two Sides of the Same Network
AFETOP connects storage providers with storage seekers. Whichever side you are on, the entry point is the same: verified capacity, documented demand, one trusted intermediary.
