Trade Terms
TTO, TTT, and Tank-to-Tank Petroleum Transfers Explained
PetroIntermediation TeamTrade Terms
TTO (Tank Take Over) — buyer takes over a leased tank already filled with product.
TTT (Tank to Tank) — product transfers between buyer and seller tanks at the same terminal (e.g., Rotterdam Vopak).
Both are legitimate inside hub terminals. They become scams when offered "direct from refinery" with no tank lease, no terminal contract, and no SGS dip test. Verify any TTO via the terminal directly.
