Naphtha is a vital feedstock for the chemical industry, serving as a raw material for the production of various chemicals, including ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and aromatics like benzene, toluene, and xylene. Naphtha is also a main feedstock in petroleum refining, where it’s commonly used in the production of gasoline via catalytic reforming or steam cracking.
Logistics play a crucial role in naphtha trading due to the need for transportation from production facilities (refineries) to consumption centers (petrochemical plants) or gasoline blending facilities (storage terminals) which are often located in different geographical areas. We offer excellent trading opportunities through its network terminals in Terneuzen, Ghent and Amsterdam, with dedicated infrastructure and experienced customer service.
