The amicable arrangement dissolves a partnership of six years. Stolt-Niels- en, as part of its corporate objective of becoming a fully integrated trans- portation and distribution compa- ny, wishes to expand the chemical storage facility to achieve closer in- tegration with its tanker operations. The terminal will be marketed as Stolthaven Houston. Oiltanking Holding USA Inc. has decided to concentrate on petroleum storage and handling, one of its primary interests worldwide. Stolt-Nielsen's objective in the acquisition and subsequent expan- sion of Stolthaven Houston is to develop its "Owner's Berth" con- cept by making the terminal the focal point for cargo consolidation, transshipment and onward distribu- tion, and thereby improve the cargo handling performance of the Stolt- Nielsen tankers calling at the Port of Houston. Stolt Tankers and Terminals op- erates more than 55 parcel tankers, totaling 1.4 million deadweight tons, on worldwide trade routes, as well as four bulk liquid storage terminals and one cargo transfer facility with over 3.5 million barrels of capacity, and a fleet of more than 1,900 inter- modal tank containers.
