Q: How is the company’s marine terminal in Coatzacoalcos developing and how will it benefit Mexico’s logistics network?

FG: The Coatzacoalcos marine terminal is another distinctive PetroM Corp project where PetroM Energy acts as a key player in the engineering of a massive transport hub, warehousing facility and of the overall oil and gas infrastructure for proper distribution within the area of Veracruz. PetroM Corp is very much inclined towards micro-refinery and looks forward to provide these kinds of services at the national level and for selected clientele by 2025, highlighting the naval and military sectors as our prime clients.

The expanse of Coatzacoalcos serves as a strategic location of extreme importance for the energy sector in terms of logistics. In this sense, PetroM Corp is committed to the development of the project, taking full advantage of the fact that it is family-owned land. We put our time and effort into conscientiously conducting our activities to build the required infrastructure and to provide our services to private and government organizations that benefit from storage, transloading and transportation activities around the area. Although the current situation within the area is still volatile, we are confident that we will carry out our operations on time and be able to provide refined products effectively as the country moves toward standardization and equilibrium in the energy sector with these new dynamics.

Q: How does PetroM Corp guarantee the safe and efficient transport of fuels throughout Mexico?

FG: As with any other hazardous material, the transportation of refined products requires surgical management and handling. It is the reason that our transport units, equipment and staff members are capable of responding to the critical situations, such as oil spills or fires, taking precise precautions in every operation to maintain public safety at all times. Our operations are also kept secure with custody insurance elements that accompany the product throughout its journey, in addition to offering armored transportation units. Every PetroM Corp transport and transloading operator is continuously under observation during service, ensuring physical and mental stability. Our experienced staff members are carefully selected prior to employment. Long-distance hydrocarbon transport is most safely achieved in Mexico by train. PetroM Corp provides air, sea, rail and road transport services, including last-mile solutions that deliver safe and efficient results. The company manages upward of 150 tankers, covering US and Mexican territory in moving product from Corpus Christi to Nuevo Laredo and then from San Luis Potosi to Tula, followed by Mexico City and the State of Mexico for last-mile operations. We keep last-mile transport service to a compact area to be efficient and avoid risking the merchandise.

Q: What are PetroM Corp’s near-term goals?

AD: As far as PetroM Energy goes, we are keen to follow our current model of storing, transporting and marketing refined products as we continue to increase our national infrastructure coverage. PetroM Corp is known to be very ambitious and that is because we have a clear vision of where we are today and know what we need to do to move to the next level. In relation to specifics for short-term or long-term goals, we have different projects underway in each division. Every project has a different time frame, which will be announced in time.

In the next two years, for example, we can expect a larger establishment and brand presence of our holding in the energy sector with PetroM Energy, in renewables with PetroM Renewable, and in next-gen pharmaceuticals, PetroM Pharma. Our more operationally-standardized divisions, such as logistics and customs with PetroM Logistics, transportation with PetroM Transport and overall international trade with PetroM Trading, will continue their solid operations, providing the excellence that distinguishes us.

PetroM Corp. is a US-Mexican company that has served the oil and gas sector for over 30 years. The company has several subdivisions, including logistics, trading, renewables and pharma.
