Marine & Shipping
Trakman Marine & Shipping Limited is one of the subsidiaries of Global Warehouse Investments Limited which is the parent company of Stalwart Oil Industrials Limited. The Company was established as a shipping company on the 5th of April, 2016.
It is incorporated as a petroleum product freighting company and fully licensed by Department of Petroleum Products (DPR) to engage in other maritime freights with full permit. It is also licensed by the Ghana Ports Authority to carry out maritime duties
Storage
This storage facility is strategically located in Takoradi with business initiatives to capture the Southern and South–Western markets of the Ghana downstream sector and to equalize the associated pressures often experienced by marketers in the marketing and distribution of petroleum products especially from Tema to other parts of the country.
The depot is therefore strategically located outside the existing pipeline network of WAPC to ensure uninterrupted product supply to these regions of the country and to provide world-class storage and off-loading services to both government and the general public.
The construction and building plans of the facility are of API 650 Standards and have received State- of- the Art commendation from the Department of Petroleum Resources.
Below are among other features of the facilities:
STORAGE CAPACITY PER PRODUCT LINE
| PRODUCT | PMS | AGO | DPK | ATK | LPFO | Other Chemicals |
| STORAGE CAPACITY (MT) | 60,000 | 30,000 | 20,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 28,000 |
- 16 inches discharge line with pumps of 1500 cubes/Hr capacity
- Private and dedicated jetty with a draft of 10.5m at low water, which allows 30,000 tonnage tankers to discharge at the jetty conveniently
- Eighteen loading gantries with a demonstrated road loading capacity of 5million liters/hr
- Automated Central Security System
- Automated Tank Gauging System
- Automated Dispensing System
- Automated Maintenance System
- Backloading capacity of 500 cubes/hr indicating little limit on our backloading capacity onto designated shuttle vessels
- The facility can simultaneously handle road loading and backloading
- Fully computerized and State – of –the –Art metering/ monitoring systems with virtually zero tolerance losses on stored product
- Site fire and safety systems built to comply with API 650 Standards
- Site fire and safety systems built to comply with API 650 Standards.
Distribution of products has become a major problem to GNPC and by establishment of this depot; the Stalwart Oil is instrumental to energy supply chain of the economy.
The facility will essentially help in the distribution of petroleum product within the South West, South- South and Eastern region, and also to the Northern part of the country.
Since products are in high demand locally and internationally, non-availability could create crisis within the nation as we have seen in the time past. Stalwart Oil will no doubt alleviate the pressures associated with product movement especially from Takoradi to other locations of the country thereby saving cost of doing business specifically savings from demurrage, STS charges and other ancillary costs.
Nigerian Crude Oil Export
Bonny Light
Bonny Light Crude oil is a high grade of Nigerian crude oil with high API gravity (low specific gravity), produced in the Niger Delta basin and named after the prolific region around the city of Bonny.
The very low sulphur content of Bonny Light crude makes it a highly desired grade for its low corrosiveness to refinery infrastructure and the lower environmental impact of its by-products in refinery effluent.
Other Grades
Other grades of Nigerian crude oil are Qua Iboe crude oil, Brass River crude oil, and Forcados crude oil. The Cabinda crude oil is a common grade of crude oil produced in Angola. The Bonny Light is in high demand specifically by American and European refineries. It is therefore a major source of income generation from the oil rich nation.
Low Pour Fuel Oil
Low pour fuel oils (LPFO) are products derived from crude oils with the major components being residuals or bottoms from petroleum refining operations. At times, the residuals are blended with gas oil and light fuel oil to improve its atomizing capability in burners. The chemical nature of LPFO is quite complex and depends on the source of crude oil as well as the refining process employed in producing the fuel oil.
