It is also possible to transfer various grades of crude oil to different parts of the tank farm, in order, for example, to produce particular desired attributes and qualities in the crude oil and feed stock. Furthermore entry or removal of crude oil to and from the caverns can take place through the tank
Whichever process is currently in operation, any batch of crude oil entering Coral Siderea Shipping be it from a tanker or from a cavern — is first sent through the tanks in order to have its quantity measured before it is pumped into long-range pipelines. The most important function of the tank farm is that it acts as a buffer. Using this buffer, cargoes of crude oil from tankers arriving at irregular intervals can be dispatched in batches efficiently, and continuous operation of the long-range pipelines can simultaneously be ensured.
