v Storage assets typically have high operating margins, in the
 60-65% EBITDA margin range.
v Third-party terminalling businesses are generally
 independent operations that support many different
 commercial customers including refiners, blenders, traders
 and marketers.
v Income is derived from tank leasing, operational charges
 associated with blending services and throughput charges for
 receipt and delivery options.
