What Engro Vopak Terminal Limited does

Engro Vopak Terminal Limited (EVTL) is a Pakistan-incorporated private joint venture between Royal Vopak of the Netherlands and Engro Corporation, established in 1997 to operate the country's only integrated bulk liquid chemical and LPG terminal at Port Qasim, Karachi. The company operates 81,874 cubic meters of bulk liquid chemical storage across 21 tanks and 13,850 cubic meters of LPG storage, handling more than 70% of Pakistan's bulk liquid chemical imports and over 50% of its LPG marine imports.

The terminal offers ship unloading/loading, truck loading/unloading, pipeline transfer, and ancillary services (heating, chilling, weighing, pigging, nitrogen blanketing, sampling) to industrial customers in the chemical, petrochemical, fertilizer, and energy sectors. Named customers include Lotte Chemicals Pakistan, Engro Polymer & Chemicals, Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim, Fatima Fertilizer, OK Gas, Parco Pearl Gas, and Ayan Energy.

• VTTI (Vitol Tank Terminals International): Independent global tank terminal operator owned by Vitol with chemical, oil, and gas storage assets across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Comparable as a privately held, asset-heavy bulk liquid storage peer.
• Engro Elengy Terminal Limited (EETL): Sister LNG regasification entity at the same Port Qasim site, run by overlapping leadership. Directly comparable as a Pakistan-based LNG/terminal infrastructure operator under the same JV partners.
• Adani Total Private Limited (Hazira Terminal): Operator of the Hazira LNG import terminal in Gujarat, India, jointly owned with TotalEnergies. Directly comparable as a South Asian LNG regasification and petrochemical-adjacent terminal asset serving industrial customers.
