What we do
Storage, blending and transhipment in The Bahamas
Liwathon B.O.S. stores, blends and tranships crude oil and refined products for traders, refiners and producers across the Atlantic basin. It is a privately owned port with an offshore Sea Island, in East Grand Bahama.
Cargoes arrive and leave by sea, at the Sea Island, at the inner-harbour berths or by ship-to-ship transfer. With Liwathon E.O.S. in Estonia, it gives Liwathon Group terminals in both the Baltic and the Atlantic basin.
Berths
Five berths, and a Sea Island for the largest tankers
We have five berths, with up to 30 m of water alongside: two at our offshore Sea Island and three in the inner harbour. The Sea Island can work up to three ships at once, and its two dual-loading berths take the largest vessels, including VLCCs and ULCCs.
Two dual-loading berths at the Sea Island
One on each side of the Sea Island platform, both for VLCCs and ULCCs.
Three berths in the inner harbour
With the two at the Sea Island, that makes five berths in all.
Up to three ships at once
The Sea Island can work up to three ships at the same time.
Ship-to-ship transfers
Certified equipment and trained personnel, in line with IMO/OCIMF guidelines.
Storage
Twelve tanks, from 22,000 to 750,000 bbl
Our large tanks have floating roofs that need no heel (a minimum layer of product), so tanks can be emptied completely and every grade kept fully segregated.

Connections
Pumping and segregation
Pumping
12,000 m³ an hour (about 75,000 bbl) between ship and tank, for less time alongside and efficient handling of heavy crude.
Segregation
No heels are needed to float the tank roofs, so every grade can be kept completely apart, from ship to tank and back.
Blending on discharge
Heavy crude can be blended with light crude as it is discharged, as well as in tank.
Services
