Dörtyol, Turkey

At Delta Petroleum, storage involves much more than simply housing your product, it's a science we improve every day, adding value to your supply-chain and increasing your efficiency in a region stretching from the middle-east to central Asia.

The Dörtyol terminal, established in 1983, is on the eastern Mediterranean coast in the Bay of Iskenderun. Its location is highly strategic due to its proximity to the world's second largest proven oil reserves in Iraq, and because it is a key part of an increasingly important hub of petroleum activity at the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline terminus and the terminus of the Baku-Tiblisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline.

Dörtyol provides the petroleum industry with an integrated service portfolio including storage, blending, handling, transportation and distribution. Serving importers and exporters, Dörtyol handles an average of over 3 million metric tons of petroleum and petroleum products annually, with volumes expected to increase significantly as Iraqi extraction increases and the BTC pipeline becomes operational. The facility covers a total area of 218,686 m2 (2.3 million sq. ft.), with a 600 meter (2,000 ft.) seafront. Its harbor has a draft of 17 meters with three berths, onefor white goods, another for black goods and the third for bunkering operations. Both the black and white berths accommodate vessels up to 250 meters (820 ft.) in length and 55,000 DWT. The terminal's 19 tanks and 300,000 m3 capacity is evenly divided between white and black products. Two road tanker stations, one for black and the other for white products, load or discharge 78 tankers simultaneously.

Designed to meet the needs of Delta's large-scale operation and comply with the exacting standards of the oil majors, the terminal conforms to all major international HSSE (Health, Safety, Security and Environment) standards. It features a wide range of value-added services made possible by superior design and the quality of Delta's staff. From heating systems on all black product tanks and a customized road tanker heating system, we offer swaps, product mixing and blending, as well as additive injection, on-site inspection and fast product handling, and are committed to helping our clients become more efficient, competitive and profitable.
