September/October 2014 TANK STORAGE
tank storage in China
Third party terminal market

enters new expansion phase
The storage terminal sector
has seen a number of
new developments lately,
reflecting Chinas fast
economic development
over the past decade.
With suitable locations for
terminals increasingly difficult
to find in east China, in the
Shanghai area in particular,
international terminal operators
are looking elsewhere. South
China, especially Guangdong
and Fujian provinces, is
attracting a number of
foreign terminal operators.
Others are also looking in
northern China, where the
expanding petrochemical
sector is creating growing
demand for tank storage
facilities to support the regions
industrial development.
Petroleum and chemical
demand is increasing in
China but there is a low
growth rate because the
domestic and export markets
are slow. Demand growth
is about 5% lower than GDP
for refined products and
chemicals, explains Katrina
Chen, consulting director for
oil and gas at ICIS China.
Diesel demand has
decreased about 1% but
petrol demand is up about 10%
because the car population
has increased. However,
the micro economy is not
good, so there is an overall
decrease in the growth rate.
Demand for
petrochemicals is also being
affected by government policy
to reduce environmental
pollution and pursue a longterm target of developing a
modern industrial base with a
core of large-scale industrial
units replacing the former
industrial base of small-scale
local factories that are both
energy inefficient and polluting.
China has recently seen an
expansion of refining capacity
with the result that output of
some products now exceeds
domestic demand, forcing the
state-run refining sector to seek
export markets for its excess
capacity. It also means the
completion of some refinery
expansion schemes will be
postponed from 2015 to 2020.
Exports of petrol and diesel
currently total around 5 million
tonnes a year combined
and are shipped mostly to
Asian markets including South
Korea, Singapore and India.
The petroleum exporters
are mainly Sinopec and
China National Petroleum
Corporation (CNPC) as
they have export rights,
whereas traders do not.
With the domestic oil
and refined products markets
being dominated by Chinas
state-run oil companies,
which operate their own
terminals, opportunities to run
third party oil terminals are
TANK STORAGE September/October 2014
limited. Also, opportunities for

foreign oil traders in China
are limited which, in turn,
restricts demand for third
party oil storage facilities.
Foreign traders import
volumes are very small, except
for fuel oil for bunkering,
Chen says. Bunker oil is
imported but this market is
operated mainly by Chinese
companies. There are about
10 big bunker oil companies
in China at present.
Foreign-owned refineries in
China such as BPs and Shells
just supply the retail market,
they are not trading products.
Chemical storage growth
Demand for third party
chemical storage continues
to grow as the volume of
chemical imports rises to meet
the shortage in domestic
production. However, the
increase rate has slowed
over the past few years.
China imports methanol,
polyolefins, naphtha, benzene
and other products from
South Korea and east Asia.
High value added chemicals
are imported from Japan.
The structure of Chinas
chemical market has created
more opportunities for
foreign terminal operators
to enter the market and
provide local storage services
for multinational clients
they serve worldwide.

More low value added
general products are being
made in China, while high
value added chemical
products are imported.
Propylene and polyolefins
come from major refineries
downstream plants but
methanol, PVC and caustic
soda are mainly from private
companies because their
capacities are smaller.
Chemical storage is at
a consolidation stage. In the
past a lot of private companies
operated chemical storage
terminals but their turnover
has been low, so they are
combining to get more cargos
in their tanks, Chen explains.
A number of international
chemical terminal operators
with storage facilities in China
are planning to expand their
capacity with several also
planning to offer rail wagon
loading and discharge services,
which will enable them to serve
a larger hinterland market.
Oiltanking has 139,000 m3 of
storage capacity in the Nanjing
Petrochemical Industrial Park
and is currently expanding
by 45,000m3 to bring the total
capacity to 184,000m3.
We have tanks ranging
from 2,000m3 to 20,000m3 to
cater for specialty as well as
commodity chemicals. Its new
tanks will range from 3,000
to 10,000m3. The expansion
37

is on target to be completed
in Q1 2015. Demand is
strong and the outlook looks
promising, says Douglas van
der Wiel, commercial VP of
Oiltanking Asia Pacific.
Oiltankings terminal has
two jetties that can handle
tankers up to 50,000 dwt
which allows customers to
bring large (parcel) tankers
further down the Yangtze
River thereby enabling them
to optimise costs. In the past
customers would have had
to break bulk further away
from the area of demand.
In addition to serving
the customers logistics by
water front and truck we
are also connected to the
national railway system. The
rail car loading and unloading
facility was completed two
years ago and it is building
up momentum, van der
Wiel says. The domestic
petrochemicals such as
methanol are increasingly
produced in the coal rich
but land locked hinterland of
China. Hence, products need
to be transported by rail to the
consuming areas, such as the
Yangtze River delta, in particular
Nanjing. Now Oiltanking Nanjing
has all the features to serve
customers that require both
jetty and rail infrastructure.
Oiltanking also operates a
90,000m3 capacity chemical
terminal in the Daya Bay
Petrochemical Industrial
Park, located 1.5 hours north
east of Hong Kong in the
Guangdong province.
The terminal comprises
storage tanks ranging from
1,250m3 to 5,300m3, again
with a strong focus on serving
the petrochemical park
through integrated storage
and logistic solutions.
The terminal also serves the
third party market for inland
distribution by truck. The facility
is being supported by a jetty
which can handle up to 12,500
dwt tankers and it is planning to
add berths that can cater for
30-50,000 dwt. The company
commissioned three spheres
to store approximately 9,000m3
38
of butadiene and C4 products

at the end of last year.
Over the past 10 years
the progress in the Daya Bay
Petrochemical Industrial Park
has been impressive and
the developments continue.
CNOOC has embarked on
a second refinery project
and ethylene cracker.
Naturally, Oiltanking is keen
to further expand its facilities
to accommodate volumes
related to this development,
van der Wiel remarks.
Chinas growing chemicals
demand will continue to require
third party chemical storage
facilities. Standards are being
raised and opportunities for
a company like Oiltanking
are abundant. We are
strengthening our teams and
business development activities
and with a clear strategy it will
only be a matter of time before
we can announce our third leg
in China, van der Wiel says.
Meanwhile, Odfjell is
preparing to commission
the first phase of its new joint
venture Odfjell Nangang
Terminals (Tianjin) terminal
in Q4 this year. Located in
Nangang Industrial Zone of
Tianjin Port in northeast China,
the terminal will have three
berths capable of handling
vessels up to 50,000 dwt and will
provide 345,000m3 of chemical
storage when fully developed.
Phase one, totalling
145,000m3 of storage tanks,
ranging in size from 1,500m3
to 30,000m3, is expected
to enter service around
October. Facilities will include
a multipurpose and vapour
return jetty line, eight truck
filling stations and direct
pipeline transfer capability
within Nangang Industrial
Zone. A national rail freight
connection will be built to
serve the terminal in future.
Tianjin EconomicTechnological Development
Area (TEDA) has selected Odfjell
as Nangang Port Companys
exclusive joint venture partner
for the public liquids terminal
and jetty facilities in the
Nangang Industrial Zone.
The Chinese central

government plan is for
this area to become the
largest petrochemical
industry base in northeast
China, accommodating
the production of over
200 petrochemical
products, Odfjell says.
Odfjell already has two
operational terminals in China.
The company operates a
100,000m3 petrochemical
terminal at Jiangyin Economic
Development Zone, located
150km west of Shanghai, and a
120,000m3 joint venture terminal
at Dalian New Port in northeast
China that handles mineral
oil and chemical cargoes.
Government plans to build
a new petrochemicals hub
in Dalian could offer Odfjell
additional opportunities to
develop terminal operations
in the northeastern region.
Odfjell has looked at
Chang Xing Island near Dalian
to build chemical storage,
says an industry source. Chang
Xing is being developed as a
petrochemicals hub because
of environmental concerns.
A PX plant problem caused
the plant to be closed and
the government decided
to put all petrochemicals
on Chang Xing.
Meanwhile, in southern
China, Odfjell is preparing
to build one of several new
petrochemical terminals
planned in Fujian province,
where the company has signed
a joint venture agreement with
the Founder Group to become
50:50 equity partners in a
storage facility in Quanzhou.
Odfjell is investing $21
million (16 million) to take a
50% stake in Fujian Fantong
Terminals, which will be
renamed Odfjell Terminals
Fujian (Quanzhou). It will build
a new chemical terminal in
Quangang Industrial Zone,
on the south side of Meizhou
Bay that Odfjell Terminals
will operate and manage.
Planned to enter
commercial service in early
2016, Odfjell Terminals Fujian has
almost 15 hectares of available
land that will be sufficient

to build about 185,000m3 of
storage capacity. Facilities
will include two jetties, one
capable of handling vessels up
to 100,000 dwt while the other
jetty will handle small vessels
and barges up to 5,000 dwt.
According to Odfjell, the
joint venture has an option
to acquire 23 hectares of
adjoining land, which is large
enough to build a further
400,000m3 of storage capacity
if storage demand develops
as expected in future.
Elsewhere in Fujian
province, LBC which owns
the LBC Shanghai Shipping
Terminal in east China, is
planning to acquire an under
construction petroleum and
chemical terminal in Fuzhou
Jiangyin Chemical Park.
Phase one, totalling
181,000m3 and consisting of
30 tanks ranging from 1,000m3
to 5,000m3, is due to enter
commercial service around
October. Facilities will include
five drumming lines and a
two berth jetty with one berth
designed to handle vessels
up to 100,000 dwt and the
smaller berth vessels and
barges up to 5,000 dwt.
The terminal will be a
storage and transshipment
hub. The chemical park is
opposite Taiwan, which lies
about 100 miles away across
the Taiwan Strait, explains an
informed source. The terminal
will have a rail cargo link
which is rare in China. Its more
economical to transport by rail
over 1,000km than by truck.
Chemicals and petroleum
products are expected from
Taiwan with the rail link allowing
delivery across China.
The Fujian terminal site is
large enough for a terminal
of 900,000m3 to be built
eventually. Phase two of the
terminal is planned to begin
construction in early 2015.
Around 30 tanks totalling
220,000m3 are expected to
be built with large tanks of
about 20,000m3 planned to
store petroleum products.
Phase two will take one year

to complete. Construction
will be finished in 2016. Phase
three of about 500,000m3
will depend on the market.
LBC is planning to acquire
the Fuzhou Jiangyin Chemical
Park terminal to meet
expected continuing growth in
demand for chemical storage
in southern China as chemical
imports are forecasted to grow
to cover a continuing shortfall
in domestic production.
Elsewhere, LBC is
expanding storage at
LBC Shanghai Shipping
Terminal where 10 new tanks
totalling about 8,000m3
in capacity are due for
completion in mid-2015.
Sited at a river mouth
location on the Changjiang
River at Wai Gao Qiao in
Pudong, Shanghai, LBC
Shanghai Shipping Terminal has
54 tanks including 17 stainless
steel tanks ranging from 650m3
drumming lines and 10

tanker truck loading bays.
Meanwhile, Vopak
continues to expand its storage
facilities in China with the
recent acquisition of a 30%
shareholding in Zhangzhou
Gulei Haiteng Jetty Investment
Management (Haiteng)
which owns a petrochemical
terminal with 890,000m3 of
storage in Fujian provinces
Gulei Industrial Park. Opened
in 2013, the terminal has
long terminal agreements to
provide storage services for two
petrochemical plants, to which
it is connected by pipeline.
Vopak is also expanding
storage capacity in
neighbouring Guangdong
province where work is
underway in Dongguan to
build what will be Vopaks ninth
chemical terminal in China.
The terminal will be capable of
storing 153,000m3 of chemical
to 3,000m3, which provide

66,200 m3 of storage capacity.
Other facilities include
three tanker berths, seven
products, giving Vopak a

combined chemical storage
capacity of about 1.76 million
m3 in China when completed.
Elsewhere, in Hainan
province in southern China,
Vopak is building a major oil
terminal at Yangpu as a joint
venture enterprise with the
State Development Investment
Corporation (SDIC) to handle
crude and petroleum products.
The site chosen for
development is believed to be
suitable for expansion to store
up to 5.2 million m3 of oil and
petroleum products eventually.
Vopak has a 49%
shareholding while SDIC
holds a 51% controlling stake
in the terminal that will be
operated by Vopak. Located
on a 58 hectare site in Yangpu
Economic Development
Zone, the terminal will act
as a transshipment hub
for oil cargoes originating
in the Middle East and
Africa for buyers in Asia.
Phase one of Yangpu
terminal will be capable
of storing 1.32 million m3 of
crude oil and petroleum
products. Facilities being
installed include two jetties,
one with a berth capable

of handling VLCC carriers
up to 375,000 dwt.
According to Vopak,
Yangpu will be the first
third party terminal in
southern China able to
receive VLCCs of this size.
Constructing Yangpu terminal
also marks an important
stage in the development
of oil and petroleum
transshipment and storage
hub operations in China.
Meanwhile, Singaporelisted CEFC International has
announced it is to set up a
joint venture company with its
wholly owned subsidiary, Hong
Kong CEFC Petrochemical
and Energy, and Rizhao Port
Oil Terminal, a subsidiary of
Chinas Rizhao Port Group, to
set up a 600,000m3 capacity
oil storage terminal in Rizhao
Port, Shandong Province.
Rizhao Port Oil Terminal
currently operates oil storage
facilities totalling 750,000m3
in the port where it is the sole
oil storage company.

Australia ups storage

capacity in the wake
of refinery closures
The new Pelican Point storage
facility was opened on 30
April 2014 at Port Adelaide.
It represents a 50% increase
in the storage capacity of
South Australia. The terminal
is owned and currently
operated by Terminals Pty
and leased to Caltex.
The facilities provide fuel
to industry and local service
stations and serves Australias
growing transport, agricultural
and mining fuel needs. It is
the first large, modern, multiproduct terminal built since the
Vopak Darwin terminal in 2005.
Terminals Pty, Caltex and
Flinders Ports have jointly
invested AU$100 million
(70 million) in the project.
Aurecon undertook the
design of the facilities.
Structural changes to
Australias fuel supply chain
Australia is going through
some major structural changes
in its supply chain, including
the closure of a number of its
refineries. The refineries are
closing for four main reasons:
1. Economies of scale.
Relative to the rest of
the world, Australia
refineries are small and
therefore less efficient.
2. Many Australian refineries
were built in the 1950s and
1960s and are unable to
process heavier imported
crudes without further
significant investment.
3. Operating and engineering
labour costs in Australia
are higher than refining
competitors in Asia
4. The emergence of huge
refineries in the Asia-Pacific
region, notably Singapore,
India and the Middle East.
A single refinery in India is
big enough to produce
double the output of all
Australias refineries.
Closures include: Exxon
Mobils Port Stanvac refinery
(Adelaide, mothballed in
2003); Shells Clyde refinery
(Sydney, refining operations
ceased in 2012); Caltexs
Kurnell (Sydney), which will
close by end 2014; and BPs
announcement to close Bulwer
Island (Brisbane) mid-2015.
The remaining refineries

are BPs Kwinana (Western
Australia); Shells Geelong,
which recently sold to Vitol
of Switzerland; Caltexs
Lytton (Melbourne); and
Exxon-Mobils Altona.
The closure of refineries
is turning the nation into
one of Asias larger fuel
importers. As the demand
for increased importation
of fuels grows, ongoing
investment in petroleum import
infrastructure, particularly bulk
fuel terminal infrastructure,
becomes more important in
ensuring supply security.
Creating a reliable South
Australia fuel supply
With the closure of Exxon
Mobils Port Stanvac refinery
in Adelaide, about 95%
of South Australias fuel is
now supplied by tankship
though Port Adelaide, from
local and overseas refineries
mainly from imports of refined
products from Singapore.
However, supply to the
existing fuel terminals in
Adelaide had been mainly

by pipeline from the refinery.
These terminals therefore do
not have the storage volumes
or berths required for supply
by large fully laden tankships.
This meant that the existing
fuel supply infrastructure
was, for the most part,
inefficient and unreliable.
Tankship berths for the
existing terminals were in Port
Adelaide. Draft restrictions
meant supply could only be by
smaller, partly laden tankships.
Supply to the new terminal is
from a deeper berth at the
Outer Harbor, allowing fully
loaded tankships of 86,000
plus deadweight tonnes.
The new terminal can
store 85 million litres of fuel, in
eight vertical storage tanks
for diesel, three grades of
motor spirits and biodiesel. The
new site has plenty of room
for expansion, with the first
stage expansion plan being
to add 50 million litres of diesel
storage, and convert two of
the existing tanks to jet storage.
The increased storage
has assisted the community
45
profile
by increasing Caltexs fuel
reserves above its safety stock
in Adelaide from five days to
32 days when the facility is full.
On the decision for
the new location, national
planning and optimisation
manager for Caltex Terminals,
Paul OLoughlin, says: With
increased storage capacity
and the supply chain now
open to deeper berthing
facilities, constraints that
contributed to fuel shortages
across Adelaide and South
Australia over recent years
have been eliminated
and the fuel reliability into
the state improved.
The Outer Harbor location
also removes the facility from
the suburbs to an industrial
precinct, thereby reducing
risks to the community.
The new terminal has
facilities to load out to road
tankwagons in three bays,
with plans to add loadout to
rail tankwagons in the future,
and room to add one more
road tankwagon bay.
Increasing efficiencies
The purpose-built import
fuel terminal, at Adelaides
Outer Harbor, is markedly
more efficient than Caltexs
existing Birkenhead terminal
in Port Adelaide. The historic
facility has now received
its last tankship delivery.
Each of the three bays
at the new terminal has
five loading arms, with
each arm able to deliver
at 2,400 litres per minute. To
date this accommodates
about 48 trucks per day,
allowing 63 million litres to be
loaded out in one month.
The terminal is fed via
marine loading arms, and
two 14 wharflines. This allows
tankship delivery at 3 million
litres per hour, thus reducing
tankship turnaround times.
In attendance at the opening ceremony were V8 Supercar racing car drivers Craig Lowndes and
Jamie Whincup
the risks to the environment.
The entire project was
designed using different 3D
software modelling packages
for pipework, civil and
structural. These were then
combined in the 3D viewing
package Navisworks, for full
project visualisation and clash
checking. Caltex and Terminals
Pty could use a free copy of
Navisworks to review the design
as it progressed. Navisworks
also allowed for remote client/
designer interaction using
screen sharing software.
Aurecons role spanned
detailed design and
documentation of all aspects
of the facility, including
preparation and submission of
the development application
for approval by the authorities,
and the provision of technical
assistance during the 18
month construction and
commissioning period. The
latter allowed Terminals Pty
to fast track the project to
meet the deadline for the

first fuel shipment, received
on 14 February 2014.
By replacing an old
terminal with an ultramodern
facility, which includes features
such as: renewable biofuels
blending, vapour recovery
to convert vapours back
into fuel, foam and spray
cooling fire protection and
secondary containment
using an HDPE liner system,
this project substantially
reduces environmental risk.
In addition to the
environmental protection
and sustainability aspects, the
facility design includes the
following high-tech features:
storm water management
utilising a first flush pit combined
with a Class 1 European oil/
water separator discharging
to a wetland detention
basin; additive injection using
mono block metering; road
tankwagon overfill protection
and vapour recovery; and
site office and control room

with an integrated terminal
automation system.
A fitting partnership
Underpinning the success of
the design and construction
was the basis of design
document for the facility.
Working closely with Terminals
Pty and Caltex, Aurecon
was able to create an
efficient design, using the
latest technology, which
met the stringent standards
required of both parties.
The project team was
responsible for geotechnical,
civil, mechanical, fire
protection and electrical
engineering services.
The use of 3D modelling
worked really well in the
design review process. It drove
efficiencies in stakeholder
engagement; enabling the
sharing of designs across a
far broader audience than
those with the ability to read
and understand information
contained on drawings, and
allowing operators to visualise
what the end product would
look like, rather than seeing a
one dimensional drawing. It
also delivered savings in the
design process, through real
time pickup and rectification
of issues as they arose.
Efficient design
Ensuring supply security
needed an advanced facility

Linerbag and Cairbag systems,
which eliminate emissions and
reduce tank life time costs.
The Linerbag system
creates a double hull and

contains all liquid inside the
tank. The Linerbag product
forms an enclosure for the
liquid preventing leakage
of the liquid into the tank.
The steel tank thus forms a
second barrier having to
fail before any liquid can
migrate into the subsurface.
The Cairbag system is
positioned inside the tank and
fills, at all times, that space
inside the tank that is not taken
by the liquid and also avoids
any free air to be present in
the tank. Cairbag products
thus avoid any and all contact
between liquid and air. This
eliminates any vaporisation
of the liquid, including the
emissions from the tank.
Cairbag systems sustain the
quality of the product, as no
components can vaporise
from the liquids and no
condensed water from the
air above, nor bacteria, can
enter into the stored liquid.

This article uses the 2005
Buncefield explosion and fires
incident as a springboard
to consider some of the
key practical factors that
operations and HSSE
managers, safety reps and
others in the major hazard side
of the tank storage industry
should look for in managing

use Buncefield as an example
again? There is always
more to learn, and finding
practical help is not always
easy, despite (or perhaps
because of) the multiple
reports. Buncefield was
unusually well investigated;
many investigations do not

adequately address fatigue
issues. Looking more widely,
whatever industry sector is
involved, the same human
beings work there. So they

This incident was Britains largest peacetime explosion to date (HSE
2011 p11) and although no one was killed, there were substantial
economic and community impacts, especially as the two major fuel
pipelines to Heathrow and Gatwick airports were also controlled from
an adjoining site at Buncefield. The investigation was lengthy and
complex. Despite this, the incident was really very simple. At around
5.40am on 11 December 2005 one very large petrol storage tank at
the Buncefield oil storage depot in Hemel Hempstead overfilled. The
leak was not noticed in the control room or detected outside before a
large petrol vapour cloud had formed. This ignited and exploded just
after 6.00am, probably due to the site firewater pump starting up as
staff finally reacted to the overfill and pressed the fire alarm. All of the
safety barriers in place to prevent overfill and to detect and recover
from any overspill, failed on the night, including the tank level gauge
(which stuck and so no high-level alarm was sounded in the control
room on the tank gauging system), and the final independent high
level switch (IHLS) on the tank. The best summary of the incident and
the events on the night is available as a free pdf download (HSE 2011)

and Safety Laboratories (HSL)
provided specialist support.
Looking for potential
fatigue and shift-work issues
in incidents is not a given
unfortunately and is often
neglected. To find something
you have to be looking for
it. This incident happened at
night and towards the end
of a 12-hour shift the classic
small hours period. Up to
one in five UK traffic accidents
on major roads have been
attributed to fatigue with a
significant number occurring
in the early morning period
(HSE 2006 p6). First sight of the
base shift pattern and the
actual shifts worked (found
pinned to the wall of the
control room) also suggested
that there could be an issue.
Analysis of the shift pattern
as planned and as worked
The interviews confirmed that
the then-current eight-week
shift pattern was designed for
10 supervisors but was being
worked by eight because of
on-going recruitment and
retention difficulties. This
resulted in e.g. supervisors
working seven 12-hour shifts
continuously in weeks four to
five, five 12-hour night shifts
and increased overtime. They
were left to arrange their
own holiday and other relief
cover. Overtime was also
required over a sustained
period for on-going project
and (ironically) safety
improvement work. While
individual levels varied, the
table above shows the scale.
There was also no
structured arrangement for
within-shift rest and meal
breaks so that, in practice, the
supervisors would usually eat
or take time out at their desk
in the control room. Clearly
these were not adequate
breaks away from their work

Average overtime worked by the Buncefield supervisors in the 5 months before the incident (HSL 2007)
HSL also carried out
an assessment of the shift
pattern against the HSE shiftwork guidance (HSE 2006).
The report concluded that:
the continuous periods of
night shifts and 12-hour shifts
were cause for concern;
accumulated fatigue was likely
present in the supervisors and
others; there were inadequate
rest days; rest/meal breaks
were irregular; and that the
overtime levels increased
the likelihood of fatigue.
A monitoring task like that
carried out by the Buncefield
supervisors over long periods
(and with workload peaks
and troughs) is also known to
increase the likelihood of error
(HSL 2007; HSE 2006). Another
significant factor was the
absence of a formal policy
or procedure for managing
fatigue and shift-work. As
with looking for fatigue and
shift-work in an investigation, if
there is no safety management
system focus then effective
arrangements are unlikely.
But people get it right
most of the time
The fatigue and shift-work
aspects were important at
Buncefield but were not of
course the only factors. It is
never that simple. But they
did colour staff judgements,
decision-making, behaviours,
effectiveness, vigilance
and much more over a
sustained period. So fatigue
and shift-work was more of
a longer-term influencing
factor, harder to assign direct
consequences to but they
were clearly there. Other
human factors contributed
including shift handover,
competency and training,

procedures, the control
room layout and the humancomputer interface, and
many others (see HSE 2011).
So what went wrong at
Buncefield? There was one
key factor: the supervisors
situational awareness (their
grasp of the bigger picture)
was faulty as evidenced by
their shared confusion about
the pipeline-tank alignments
immediately after the incident.
So what they said in their
initial police statements
later changed though they
still expressed surprise and
disbelief at the outcome.
Typically, where error is
involved those concerned
can usually describe what
they have done and seen
but cannot explain or link
it to the result (HSE 1999).
Due to the poor shift
handover arrangements and
a series of poor handovers
leading up to the incident
they had confused which
pipeline was filling which
tank. And indeed in that
configuration neither tank
would have filled that night.
And this basic human error
persisted. Why? Put simply,
they were not expecting
to fill a petrol tank on that
night shift and so have to
switch tanks and so the
absence of an alarm was no
cause for concern. With the
serial failure of all the other
barriers, the human and last
one failed too. And chronic
fatigue made such an event
significantly more likely.
What can we do to get
shift working right?
Taking a risk assessment
approach to managing
fatigue and shift-work is a
good start, and the HSE
guidance on this approach
is simple and accessible
(HSE 2006). Avoid overcomplicating things though.
It is vital to gather feedback
from the real operating
experience through auditing
and monitoring, and from
those involved in managing,
supervising and working
the shift system. And of
course being able to record
and analyse the actual
individual hours and shifts
worked, not just the averages
or the planned shifts.
And yes, you do need a
policy and a procedure, but
keep them short and accept
they will develop as you
engage with the issue and
gain experience. Equally a
shift system needs managing
it is no good leaving those
working the pattern (or an
overloaded supervisor) to deal
with planned and unplanned
absences on an ad-hoc
basis. While inevitably there
will be exceptions, it is how
these are managed after
the exception event that
really matters so that tired
people are not then returned
to work without at least
some effective mitigation.
There is no point in tinkering
with an existing shift pattern
if it is not being worked as
planned. The underlying
organisational factors are
usually simple, e.g. not enough
staff to work the rota, or not
enough people in some roles,
or insufficient flexibility in the
pattern to cope with real work
demands. Workloads and work
planning may also need fixing.
So these factors need to be
safety
addressed first, then check out
the shift pattern and review
it once you have experience
of it working as planned.
Finding a reasonable and
workable shift pattern also
requires early, active and
informed user involvement,
i.e. those who work the shifts,
supervise and manage them.
But there is no magic or
perfect shift system out there.
They are all compromises
because we are day animals
nature has not wired us for
shift working and especially
(but not just) night work. This
leads to another point: the
range of shift pattern choices
is in practice small because
of simple arithmetical facts
about dividing the available
time and days into workable
patterns over a calendar
year (see Miller 2006 for a
full explanation of this).
Training and awareness
play a part, particularly
in focusing manager and
supervisor attention on what

matters in operating the shift
system, and in helping users
and their significant others to
understand the likely impacts
on health, safety and their
social and domestic lives, and
how best to mitigate this.
Finally, considering the
social and domestic side of
working shifts is a vital part of
getting things right (HSE 2006;
Miller 2006) and a predictable
shift pattern (Miller 2006) at
least allows those working it,
and their families, to make
plans to mitigate the loss of
normal social and domestic
contact that working shifts
brings. Patterns that result in
ad-hoc working to fill gaps,
cover overtime and so on, are
inherently unpredictable.
So a good shift system
and shift pattern will be one
that is characterised by less
noise, i.e. it will work away
quietly and not create undue
management, supervisory or
HSL 2007, Report on the Buncefield

Shift Pattern (unpublished

of the Buncefield investigation)
user difficulties. But nothing

stays the same, so it will need
effective monitoring and
auditing, and regular review
against operating experience,
improving standards and
knowledge, and changing
business needs.

Assentech can assist the
customer from FEED studies for
new projects, to maintaining
venting equipment, to factory
standard performance. As
well as being fully conversant
with ISO28300 and API2000, its
services also include training
and CPD for engineers.
In a recent report it
identified a potential saving
of over 200,000 (249,836)
per annum of lost vapours
through tank breather vents for
a relatively small oil terminal.
In this particular case the vent
pallet assemblies were within
tolerance but the integrity of
the seal between seat and
pallet had been lost through
wear and tear. This would not
generally be picked up in a
visual inspection but would in
a leakage test. The terminal
is now making significant
savings and minimising
emissions to the atmosphere.
This level of testing is
only required every three

to five years, so Assentech
works with its customers
own maintenance teams to
ensure input is only given when
necessary, promoting a regime
of safe practice and focus on
the elements of tank safety that
usually only gets discussed after
a full or partial tank collapse.
This approach is a founding
element of LOPA and HAZOP
studies on COMAH sites.

Concrete Canvas (CC) is a
flexible cement impregnated
geotextile that hardens on
hydration to form a durable,
fibre reinforced, fire resistant
and waterproof concrete
layer. Essentially concrete on
a roll, it has rapidly gained
market acceptance in a
number of applications in and
around refinery and terminal
infrastructure. Primarily, CC is
used as a means of rapidly
lining clay and earth secondary
containment bunds.
CC provides a hard
armour surface protection
preventing weathering
erosion of the bund,
negating the need of
costly maintenance or
remediation by securing
the height and integrity
of the structure.
CC is fibre-reinforced
and has an abrasion
resistance twice that of
ordinary Portland cement.
It can be installed at rates
of up to 800m2 per day,
minimising time and H&S
permit requirements on site.
BTE manufactures
equipment for the
aboveground storage
tank industry, including its
Geodesic FlowDome roof
It acts as an effective
weed suppressant,
reducing maintenance
costs associated with
grass cutting of top soils
and negating the risk of
fire from dried grasses.
CC protects against
animal damage.
CCs ability to be installed
in wet conditions reduces
programme disruption due
to inclement weather.
CC can also be supplied
in man portable batched
rolls, which do not require
and plant or machinery
for installation.
CC is very efficient in terms
of material transport and
reduces vehicle movements
on site. 200m2 of CC can be
supplied on a single pallet.
Finally, due to its flexible
state prior to hydration, CC
will easily conform in and
around pipe extrusions and
sensitive infrastructure.
As well as bund lining, the
inherent advantages of CC
also lend the material to
lining tertiary containment
lagoons, general weed
suppression under pipe tracks
and fencing, as a means of
replacing concrete half pipes
for ditch lining, pipe protection,
and cable protection.

NDT Global Services has
been trading since 1990. The
company provides inspection
and test equipment for
inspection companies, process
plant, manufacturing and
service industries for both
UK and overseas markets.
NDT also specialises
in guided wave pipe
inspection service, which
allows long lengths of pipes
in difficult-to-access areas
to be quickly screened for
corrosion or other defects.
Operating on pipes from
2 diameter, the wavemaker
system employs lightweight
transducer rings to send guidedultrasonic waves up to 100m in
each direction along the pipe.
Sophisticated software
routines help categorise
reflections from changes in the
cross section of the pipe, giving
100% volumetric screening of
up to 100m of pipe from the
transducer ring location.
The wavemaker system
can use both torsional and
longitudinal waves. This means
that the inspection can be
performed on both gas and
liquid filled pipes without taking
them out of service and with
minimal surface preparation.
The system is most
commonly used for road
crossings, wall penetrations,
straight runs of pipe where
100% of the volume must be
inspected, inspecting under
many types of supports,
elevated pipework, inspecting

for corrosion under insulation,
cryogenic pipework, sphere
legs, jetty lines and buried lines.

fire safety
With fuel terminals running

with limited but efficient
manning levels, fixed fire
safety systems play a vital
role in the overall emergency
response plan. They have
the dual advantage of
attacking the fire at the
earliest stage and allowing
employees to maintain a
safe distance between
them and the incident.
The local authority fire
and rescue services are
not bound to provide asset
protection in itself. They may
not have the foam or foam
delivery equipment to deal
with a major tank or bund
fire which means that it is
incumbent on the operator to
page header
consider their response level.

As an example, a large
fuel terminal in the Manchester
area of the UK was mothballed
a number of years ago.
Fire protection specialist
Hawkes Fire was asked to
design and supply the foam
proportioning & distribution
devices that would re-instate
and enhance the existing fire
infrastructure already in place.
The site was the oil industry
equivalent of the Mary
Celeste, the infamous ghost
ship of the 19th century. There
was grass growing between
the concrete slabs, the
loading rack canopy had seen
better days and the offices
looked as if the staff had gone
out for a very long lunch.

Two containerised foam
proportioning units, using
Hawkes Fires water motor
driven foam proportioners
together with foam tank
and valves, were provided
to supply finished foam to
both the loading racks and
the tanks. This was achieved
via Angus full surface top
pourers for floating roof tanks
and Angus MkV pourers
for the fixed roof tanks.
The site is now fully
operational, complete with a
state-of-the-art fire suppression
system and is a vital supply
link for northern fuel retailers.
Hawkes Fire has also
secured another fuel
distribution project, this time

in Teesside, UK. This site is
supplied by a railhead so it
has the additional need for
protection to the trackside
off-loading. This is protected
by self-inducing oscillating
foam monitors complete
with dedicated self-bunded
foam concentrate tanks.
However, the site required
completely new water
supplies based on the need
to protect railhead, vapour
recovery, storage tanks and
bunds to the foam design
standard EN 13565-2.
Utilising a 608m3 water
tank that was erected on the
site in two days, Hawkes Fire
was able to incorporate the
Dual Firemiks foam proportioners
69
fire safety
single diesel 4,000 USGPM
NFPA 20 fire pump and
additional water powered
foam proportioning units into
two separate but linked steel
containers as shown below.
The construction industry
has advocated off-site
fabrication for many years in
order to control the quality
of production in a workshop,
rather than on site. By following
these principles Hawkes Fire
was able to crane both units
into place onto prepared
concrete bases. This saved
money by avoiding block
built construction. It has the
additional benefit of being
useable on another site should
the operators needs change.
The landmark event that
helped bring about todays
ever-improving standards
within the storage terminal
industry was the Buncefield
incident of December 2005:
There is no question that
the Buncefield event made
people and companies
within the industry reassess
their own approaches to

storage terminal firefighting,
something that led to what
was effectively the complete
rewriting of all risk assessments
and industry expectations,
explains Hawkes business
development manager,
David Owen.
Interestingly enough,
in the weeks that followed
the incident, Hawkes Fires
engineering directors were
contracted to provide postfire securing operations:
In many ways it was from
the companys very direct
experience of the Buncefield
incident and its aftermath that
Hawkes Fire has since gone
on to be able to respond to
the specific needs of other
storage terminals wanting to
upgrade their fire protection
systems in the months that
followed, Owen explains.
