Operational Excellence in Global Storage Networks

Istanbul, Turkiye, 2026.

Hello, I’m Burak, and I manage Alkagesta’s terminal operations.

At Alkagesta, our mission is clear: we strengthen global supply chains by managing storage assets with discipline, precision, and long-term reliability.

Through strong partnerships, efficient infrastructure, and coordinated execution, we provide our customers with the flexibility and consistency required for energy security.

As of 2025, we operate more than 700,000 cubic meters of storage capacity across terminals in Malta, Türkiye, Singapore, Romania, and the Central Asian corridor. This allows us to build a trading portfolio of over 7 million metric tons each year.

Every terminal operates under unique local conditions—port draft, jetty capacity, tank configuration, and regulatory frameworks. But our coordination ensures seamless operations across all regions.

We work closely with our traders, operations teams, chartering, and terminal partners to guarantee safe, efficient, and compliant processes. At the same time, we collaborate with terminal operators to overcome bottlenecks, improve performance, reduce waiting times, and minimize demurrage exposure. This means meeting customer expectations with greater barge-loading flexibility and enhanced overall loading capabilities.

Sustainability and safety remain central to our approach, especially as our portfolio and geographical footprint continue to grow.

Our key priorities are:
• Improving operational efficiency
• Ensuring continuous quantity and quality control
• Supporting compliance with local and international regulations

With over two decades of experience in terminal operations, my role is to ensure that every Alkagesta terminal across Europe and Asia delivers maximum efficiency through process optimization, quality control, and disciplined execution.

As Alkagesta continues to expand, our commitment remains unchanged: reliable operations, strong partnerships, and continuous improvement across the entire storage ecosystem.

Thank you.
