Oil Storage Terminals Where Global Energy Connects

From our base in Malaysia, we operate strategic oil storage terminals on four of the world’s most important energy corridors. Customers position crude oil, refined products and marine fuels close to the markets that need them, and move them with confidence.

About Asian Oil Storage

Independent Storage. Engineered Infrastructure. Global Reach.

Asian Oil Storage was incorporated in Malaysia in 2017 as a terminal development and infrastructure consultancy. Today we own and operate four strategic storage terminals and advise developers on new ones across Asia and beyond.

We do not produce, refine or trade oil. Our business is infrastructure: making sure our customers’ product is stored safely, kept on specification and ready to move when they need it.

Location

Terminals where energy trade flows converge.

Engineering

We design and build as well as operate.

Independence

We do not trade the products we store.

Global Network

Four Hubs. Four Corridors. One Standard.

The world’s energy trade flows through a small number of maritime chokepoints and trading centres. We have built our network at four of them. Each terminal serves its regional market, and together they give customers options that a single location cannot.

Conceptual masterplan of the proposed Borneo Oil Storage Terminal: 12 Phase 1 tanks, 8 Phase 2 tanks, a 1.2 km jetty trestle and a deep-sea berth

Flagship Project · East Malaysia

Planning Borneo’s Next Generation of Storage Infrastructure

East Malaysia’s energy demand is growing, and much of its fuel is still delivered through small, ageing depots and long supply chains. The Borneo Oil Storage Terminal is a proposed deepwater storage and marine terminal. Its first phase is planned at 480,000 m³, with a masterplan capacity of 840,000 m³.

Asian Oil Storage leads the project’s planning, proposal briefings and preliminary infrastructure consulting. That work covers site screening, the terminal masterplan, the marine interface and phased development.

Engineering & Infrastructure

Engineering Is Where We Started

Asian Oil Storage began as an engineering and development consultancy. That background still shapes how we buy, build and run assets.

Our engineering team in Kuala Lumpur works alongside operations teams at every terminal. When we evaluate a site, design a tank or upgrade a berth, the people who will operate the asset are part of the decision.

Safety & Sustainability

Responsible Operations, Measured and Reported

Storage infrastructure holds large volumes of flammable product close to ports, cities and coastlines. Safety and environmental performance come first, and we report them openly, including the years when the numbers are not perfect.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Say

“Having tankage in Singapore and Fujairah under one framework has changed how we structure East–West fuel oil business. We can hold product in Fujairah, blend to specification and plan the Singapore leg with one counterparty that understands both ends.”

Kenji MoritaSenior Trader, Fuel Oil · Pacific Commodities Group · Asia Pacific

“The team brought a disciplined approach to a complex storage-development requirement. They connected terminal planning with marine logistics, and they were candid about what the site could not do. That saved us months in the concept phase.”

Nurul Huda RahmanDirector of Projects · Eastern Petrochemicals · Malaysia

“Barge turnaround decides whether a bunkering day is profitable or difficult. Since the berth upgrade, our barges load faster and the blend results are consistent from parcel to parcel.”

Ahmed Al MansooriGeneral Manager · Global Marine Supply · Middle East

Why Storage Location Matters More Than Storage Volume

Capacity figures make headlines, but traders and refiners choose storage by where it is and what it connects to. Here is why a well-located cubic metre earns its keep.

Strategic Storage and Energy Security in Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia’s energy demand keeps growing while much of its storage infrastructure is small and ageing. Strategic storage is now a matter of economic resilience, not just logistics.
