Leasable Barrel Utilization went from 78% as of March 31, 2010 - to more than 85% as of March 31, 2011. This 9% increase takes into account the additional capacity of the Brunswick, GA Terminal acquisition in July, 2010.
Michael Suder, CEO, attributed the Company's steady and continued improvement in its quarterly and year end operational results to management's focus on increasing storage utilization at its Westwego, LA and Brunswick, GA terminals; expanding the ancillary services offered to existing customers; continuous improvements in its overall operational efficiencies; and decreasing SG&A expenses.
Mr. Suder stated, "Even when considering the world's economic turmoil, we are in an industry where demand for storage continues to outstrip supply, allowing for additional business opportunities. As an independent developer, operator, and third party provider of bulk liquid storage terminals, we take no commodity price risk and obtain favorable, long-term customer contracts." Suder went on to say that, "Management's focus is to continue to execute our business model by leveraging our management team's expertise and abilities and by acquiring additional, strategically located, under-performing, storage terminals. A major element of our business model is to grow by acquisition; which is evidenced by the Company's recent announcement of its letter of intent to acquire a storage terminal in Salisbury, MD. This acquisition will build asset value for our shareholders and increase our financial results."
Blackwater Midstream Corp. is an independent operator of bulk liquid storage terminals including a storage terminal located within the Port of New Orleans in Westwego, LA and one located in Brunswick, GA. Both terminals have a combined capacity of more than one million barrels and are capable of storing a wide variety of liquid products.
