“PTOL serves as the meeting point for importers, exporters, consignees and producers,” he explains. “Our major supply chain operation is to serve as a vital link for suppliers to producers, unto end users.”

“PTOL works with the best of business partners to facilitate our success story. Shipping lines, logistics companies, industries, oil services and related companies, freight forwarders and government agencies, to name but a few.

“Our excellent relationships with our customers and government has been built over time and is the underpinning of our growth strategy.”
