Oiltanking Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG has acquired the BayWa tank terminal in the Bavarian town of Deggendorf with effect from 1 September 2013. Oiltanking Deutschland shares a special history with the new site: The tank terminal was already part of the company between 1957 and 1983.

The Deggendorf tank terminal is located directly on the Danube and also has good connections to the road and rail network. Its 14 tanks, with a total capacity of approximately 25,000 cbm, are used to store heating oil and diesel. The facility fulfills an important function in supplying the regions of Lower Bavaria, the Bavarian Forest and western Austria. Its oil supplies are delivered by barge or railcar. For Oiltanking Deutschland, the new acquisition forms a useful addition to the existing network.

Marquard & Bahls built the Deggendorf tank terminal in 1957 and operated it in the years that followed. In 1972, Marquard & Bahls’ tank terminals were merged into the new subsidiary, Oiltanking. In 1983, Oiltanking Deutschland sold the tank terminal to BayWa, which operated it under the name DTL Donau-Tanklager (DTL Danube Tank Terminal).

BayWa is a global company whose core competencies lie in retail, logistics and ancillary services, primarily in the agriculture, construction and energy sectors. The parent company, founded in 1923, is based in Munich. BayWa’s international activities are focused in Europe, the U.S. and New Zealand.
