Hound Point Terminal is the number one bunker supplier based on The River Forth
The offshore Hound Point oil installation in the River Forth is where North Sea oil starts its journey to refineries round the world. It is operated by BP Amoco and can accept vessels up to 300,000 tonnes deadweight.
Pipes run to the terminal from a storage facility two miles to the south west, near the village of Dalmeny. The crude oil is piped directly there from the Forties oilfield.
In 2001 the throughput of crude oil at Hound Point was 26.4 million tonnes.
The maritime tradition continues to this day; owning and operating Terminals, a fleet of ships including tankers and crew transfer vessels, storage facilities and ships agency services.
In addition to our physical operation we are able to supply marine products through our extensive network of business partners within the UK and Worldwide. We endeavour to use our knowledge, experience and contacts to seek competitive and reliable deliveries to meet our customer’s needs.
Logistics
As a diverse organisation, Hound Point has invested heavily in company-owned assets both on sea and land to ensure all marine deliveries are safe, reliable, and competitive. By not outsourcing our logistics we have control, flexibility, and the ability to react to short notice requirements or changes.
