Since 1972, enport by MB Energy has been a key player in tank storage logistics and ranks among the largest independent providers of tank terminal storage and infrastructure in Germany. The company owns and operates 13 terminals across Germany, Denmark and Hungary, offering a total storage capacity of 2.9 million cubic metres (cbm). With a strong regional presence and decades of operational expertise, enport contributes to the secure and efficient handling of energy products and chemicals in Europe.
In Germany, the terminals are located all over the country, primarily in the seaport of Hamburg and along the Rhine. In Denmark, the storage facility is located in close proximity to Copenhagen Airport, and in Hungary, it is situated directly on the Danube in Budapest.

The history of Oiltanking Deutschland
The Oiltanking story began in 1972 with the merger of originally independent tank terminals into a single unit.
Pooling of the tank terminals in Oiltanking GmbH
Until this date, each tank terminal of the Marquard & Bahls group has been a separate legal entity, for example, the Karlsruher Tanklager GmbH & Co., the Tanklager GmbH & Co. KG in Frankfurt etc. The tank terminals belonging to Mabanaft Nord are combined into Oiltanking GmbH. The combination is hoped to accelerate processing and improve the flow of information. It will also allow the company to present a common front to the customers. In Germany and in neighbouring countries, Oiltanking's own tank terminals have a capacity of approx. 1 million cbm, to which leased tank space of approx. 700,000 cbm can be added. The aim is to diversify by expanding storage capacity, and to lease about half the capacity to third parties.
Founding of Oiltanking Deutschland GmbH
Since 1989, the various Oiltanking subsidiaries outside Europe have been individual profit centers responsible for their own results. In order to be able to react faster and more flexibly to market changes in Germany, Oiltanking Deutschland GmbH is founded on January 14, 1994, which is later renamed Oiltanking Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG.
At that time Oiltanking Deutschland GmbH has nine tank terminals with a total capacity of around 1.7 million cbm. They are located in Hamburg, Berlin, Hamm, Duisburg, Bendorf, Frankfurt, Karlsruhe, Honau and Gera. Through the subsequent acquisition of a facility in Hamburg (1997), the purchase of the Hanau tank terminal and a facility in Karlsruhe (1999), the purchase of the Waltershof tank terminal (2015), and the expansion of the Honau tank terminal (2008), Oiltanking Germany today operates 11 tank terminals with a total capacity of 2.375 million cbm.
