Thanks Grandarog, Yes it took a bit of trawling but for a change I had the time. Normally I have to bale out.

Spot on Grandarog. 
 
It was the Corralls Oil Terminal around the 80s and 90s.  A subsidiary of the mighty Powell Duffryn Group.  Corralls had a number of oil terminals along the south coast.  Gravesend, Bridge, Shoreham Portsmouth, and Southampton.  They worked in conjunction with UK Petroleum, also owned by Powell Duffryn.  Later on, they all came under the UK Petroleum flag.  This was followed by a buy-out by CPL Ltd (Coal Products Ltd)  Otherwise previously known as the Coal Board before a management buy-out.   A big step backward as Coal Board staff didn't use computers.   They were still in the dark ages with everything in triplicate on paper.  CPL had shed staff due to the use of computers but under CPL they were having to work two systems - computer and paper.  The workload for the reduced UK Petroleum staff was horrific until CPL caught up with modern systems.  Other buyouts followed but CPL still trades under the CPL name.  I believe Certas Energy is the holding company.
The Bridge Oil Terminal was decommissioned after the Buncefield explosion as it stored thousands of litres of fuel only 30ft from houses.  (The houses were built after the oil depot was operating).  I was the Oil Terminal Manager at Bridge for 20 years. 


Over to you Grandarog.
