Trading house Gunvor is looking to sell a stake in more of its Rotterdam oil storage, two sources told Reuters, after offloading a chunk last year to a subsidiary of state oil giant Saudi Aramco.
Gunvor acquired a significant amount of storage in Rotterdam, Europe's deepest port and a hub for its oil trading, when it purchased the 88,000-barrels-per-day Rotterdam refinery from Kuwait Petroleum International in 2016.
It sold its stake in crude oil storage at the Maasvlakte Olie Terminal late last year to Saudi AramcoOverseas Co.
One source close to the negotiations and an oil trade source told Reuters that Gunvor is now looking to divest partially the 1.5 million cubic metres of oil storage it still holds at Stargate Oil Terminal Rotterdam B.V.
That facility includes a mix of products including crude oil, liquefied petroleum gas, naphtha, gasoline, kerosene, gasoil, vacuum gasoil and fuel oil.
A Gunvor spokesman declined to comment.
