2. Transfer of the product from the mode of transport to the storage tank;
3. Storage of the product, and in some cases blending, transfer of product from one tank to another, or other limited handling operations;
4. Transfer of the product from the storage tank to the mode of transport;
5. Dispatch of goods.
