Pengerang Independent Terminals

Pengerang Independent Terminals (PTSB) operates as an oil storage facility located in the Pengerang region of Malaysia. The company provides tank‑based storage services for petroleum and related liquid hydrocarbons, supporting the logistics needs of the oil and gas sector. Its core activity involves the management of storage tanks and associated infrastructure that enable the safe holding, transfer, and handling of crude oil, refined fuels, and other liquid products. PTSB serves a range of customers that require secure short‑term or long‑term storage solutions, facilitating the movement of products within regional and international supply chains. The terminal’s location in Pengerang places it within a hub of energy‑related infrastructure in Malaysia.

Publicly available sources do not disclose specific quantitative details about PTSB’s storage capacity, number of tanks, or overall footprint. Consequently, no explicit metrics regarding the scale of its operations or its geographic reach can be derived from the provided information. The available material focuses on qualitative aspects of the business rather than on measurable size or output figures.

PTSB is distinguished by its status as a partially Vopak‑owned entity, linking it to one of the world’s largest independent tank storage operators. This ownership connection provides PTSB with access to Vopak’s operational expertise while allowing it to maintain an independent operational identity. As an independent terminal, PTSB is not integrated into a larger refining or petrochemical complex, which enables it to serve a diverse portfolio of third‑party clients. The company’s primary specialisation lies in the storage and management of oil and related liquids, with a particular emphasis on the integrity and safety of its tank infrastructure. Its headquarters are situated in Malaysia, underscoring its regional base and its role in the country’s energy logistics network. In March 2023, PTSB experienced a ransomware attack carried out by the BlackCat group, during which unauthorized actors accessed data including critical corporate information on tank infrastructure and systems. The attackers issued a 72‑hour ultimatum for their demands, threatening to release the stolen data on the dark web, although the incident did not disrupt the terminal’s ongoing operations.
