History and development
The facilities now operated by Simon Storage at Immingham were established in 1929 and are among the earliest on the Humber Bank. The terminals originally handled creosote for export to the United States and molasses made from Lincolnshire sugar beet, but after the war the emphasis changed to the storage of oil products.
The 1960s saw major expansion as the Immingham terminals began to provide chemical storage and logistics support to businesses across the country. Even after the commencement of operations at the two local refineries in 1969, the oil trade continued to expand up to 1975 owing to 'new entrant' oil companies bringing crude from North Africa.
After that came the era of product exchanges when tanks were bought from Esso, Shell, BP, ICI, Conoco, Petrofina and Texaco.
The terminals have now grown into a comprehensive and diverse distribution base, both into and out of the UK, handling a combined total of some two million tonnes of products per year.
Storage offered to the market place at Immingham ranges from small 50m3 carbon steel tanks through pressurized gas storage, stainless steel storage to large 14,000m3 carbon steel tanks equipped with floating roofs.
