EN 590 · 10 ppm sulphur
Diesel
Diesel is the company's highest-volume product and a critical input for the distributors, fleet operators and industrial customers it serves. Oil Trans supplies ultra-low sulphur road diesel to the European EN 590 standard, sourced from refineries in the ARA region and beyond and held in storage close to its inland markets.
The majority of volumes are delivered by barge along the Rhine to depots in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, with smaller volumes collected by road from terminal loading racks. Summer, winter and arctic grades are supplied according to season and destination, with the applicable cold filter plugging point (CFPP) agreed in the contract prior to loading.
Where customers have specific requirements for FAME content, for example for blending or emissions reporting, these are confirmed in writing as part of the contract specification.
