About Us — Atlantic Tank Storage ehf

Our Story

Built on a belief that energy logistics can be done better.

Atlantic Tank Storage ehf was founded in 2006 in Kópavogur, Iceland, with a singular conviction: that independent tank storage and petroleum logistics could be delivered with greater precision, transparency, and environmental responsibility than the industry had traditionally demanded.

What began as a single-vessel inland distributor has grown into a full-spectrum petroleum logistics provider — operating a growing network of tankers, tank storage facilities, and fuel injection systems that link energy markets across Europe and beyond.

Our clients include refineries, trading houses, energy majors, and downstream distributors who choose us for the same reason — we do exactly what we say, every single time.

Our Values

What drives everything we do.

Safety First

Zero-incident operations are not a target — they are a non-negotiable commitment embedded in every decision, at every level of the organisation.

Integrity

We operate with complete transparency and accountability — every cargo handled exactly as agreed, with full documentation and no surprises at delivery.

Sustainability

From low-emission engines to active VOC reduction programmes, environmental responsibility is a core business principle — not a compliance checkbox.

Reliability

Consistent, on-schedule delivery backed by experienced maritime and logistics professionals who understand what's at stake in every shipment.

Partnership

We don't just move cargo — we build long-term partnerships. Your logistics success is our business success, and we invest in that relationship from day one.

Excellence

ISO-certified processes, continuous improvement culture, and decades of collective expertise ensure we deliver the highest standard of service on every operation.

Our Mission

Everybody home, safely, every day.

This is the most important mission embedded in our day-to-day decision making. Each member of our team plays an active role in fostering a culture that places safety first — through regular Safety Walks, ongoing training, and our certified management systems.

Equally important is our commitment to environmental responsibility. We actively reduce risks through proactive strategies and continuous improvement across all our terminals and vessels.
