About Stanlow Terminals Limited

Do you want to work for the company that is the UK’s largest liquid storage business and one that is leading the UK’s transition to low carbon fuels?

Stanlow Terminals Limited is the largest independent bulk liquid storage business in the UK, with 3 million cubic metres of capacity; capacity that can be utilised to store and distribute the fuels that will power the UK’s low carbon future. 

Located on the Mersey Estuary, Stanlow Terminals Limited plays a vital role in our critical national infrastructure.  It is a port asset, with eight jetties and deep water facilities, and this enables the flexible and efficient import and export of bulk liquids. We provide unrivalled connectivity to customers thorough our multi-modal distribution network, including Europe’s largest road terminal, rail connectivity, excellent links to the UK’s motorway network and pipeline connections. 

We’re helping create the UK’s hydrogen economy.  By our participation in the leading HyNet project, we are developing storage and distribution facilities that will provide a multi-modal hydrogen and carbon dioxide transport hub.  We will develop the UK’s largest and first sustainable energy hub in the next three years. The investment will allow customers to store, blend and distribute bio-fuels suitable for use as energy transition drop-in replacement transport fuels for road, aviation and marine.

Stanlow Terminals Limited operates separately from the Essar oil refinery, also at Stanlow.  We have an independent management focussed on high performance in the commercial and technical elements of our business.
