122 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2020 F ounded in 1974, the International Liquid Terminals Association (ILTA) is an advocate and key resource for the liquid terminal industry. With headquarters in the Washington, DC area, ILTA advocates on behalf of the liquid terminal industry in Congress and at the federal agencies, and also maintains close working relationships with other organizations that interact with the tank storage industry. ILTA members represent a diverse group of companies that are a critical link in the transportation systems for liquid commodities. The association has two membership categories: terminal members and supplier members and they all share the belief that a strong terminal industry, well represented by its association, is in their best interest. Terminals provide essential logistics services that connect the U.S. economy with overseas markets and support domestic commerce in bulk liquid products. Liquid terminals facilitate the movement of bulk liquids between transportation modes, whether it be from ship to truck, ship to barge, or pipeline to rail. ILTA members’ facilities are a critical link in the movement of liquid commodities, such as crude oil, petroleum products, chemicals, fertilizers, and liquid foods that are central to the U.S. and world economies.
