What we do

Storage, blending and distribution on the Baltic Sea

Liwathon E.O.S. handles crude oil and refined products for regional and international customers. Product arrives and leaves by vessel, rail tank car and truck. In between, we store, heat, blend and test it, under independent quality and quantity inspection.

As an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO), we also act as customs agent, which speeds up clearance for our customers.
