Advario

What Advario does

Advario is a Rotterdam-headquartered, privately held liquid storage logistics company operating 13 terminals across Europe, China, Singapore, the Middle East, and the United States, with approximately 8 million cubic meters of total storage capacity. Launched in May 2022 as a carve-out from Oiltanking GmbH (part of the Marquard & Bahls group) and operating as its wholly-owned subsidiary, Advario provides bulk liquid storage and terminal infrastructure for chemicals, gases, fuels, and a growing portfolio of new energy products, including green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), green methanol, e-methanol, and hydrogen carriers. Its customer base spans energy producers, petrochemical manufacturers, and maritime operators such as Borealis, Braskem Idesa, Neste, Maersk, COSCO, Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM, Sasol, and Trafigura, with several relationships anchored on multi-year contracts and joint-venture terminal ownership (e.g., TQPM in Mexico, JPTT in Singapore, Advario Stolthaven Antwerp, and a planned UAE JV with AD Ports Group).

The company's revenue model is B2B subscription-style storage leasing priced on a custom, capacity-, product-, and duration-based contract structure, complemented by long-duration terminal operations partnerships and co-development of new energy infrastructure assets. Approximately half of its terminals are operated through strategic JVs, with the balance held wholly or via core subsidiaries such as Advario Helios Singapore and Advario Gas Terminal (Antwerp). Notable technical capabilities include Europe's largest 135,000 cbm refrigerated propane storage tank at -40C, ISCC CORSIA/PLUS/EU certifications for SAF and sustainable fuels, VRFB-ESS battery storage testbeds on Jurong Island, and a Net Zero 2040 ambition with an 11% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions achieved by 2025.

The company's go-to-market is anchored in enterprise field sales and long-term partnerships, with active participation in industry events (World Hydrogen Week, Singapore Maritime Week, European Industry Summit) and corporate communications via LinkedIn, press releases, and annual sustainability reports under its Horizon 2030 strategy. Recent strategic positioning emphasizes energy-transition infrastructure — green ammonia import terminals (Antwerp-Bruges with Fluxys, target 2027), low-carbon ammonia power generation and bunkering on Jurong Island with Keppel and Sumitomo, e-methanol production in UAE with Masdar, AD Ports, and CMA CGM, and a Port of Rotterdam eSAF hub with Power2X.
