Vopak’s 2026 outlook points to sustained demand for terminal infrastructure
Royal Vopak’s 2026 market update discusses demand for storage infrastructure across oil, chemicals and industrial transition flows. Such operator reporting is useful as a sector signal because it connects utilisation, asset development and customer demand without making any one port a proxy for all others. Oil and chemical terminals support a wide range of cargo and distribution arrangements, so infrastructure demand should be read alongside location, product mix and transport connectivity. This briefing is independently written from the company’s publication and does not describe Dalian North Oil performance, assets or investment decisions.
Why this matters for storage and logistics
Terminal selection is more than a capacity question. Customers should consider cargo profile, marine interface, distribution connection and timing together when setting out a requirement.
