Summary: The thesis has been developed in the program on Transportation and investigation of hydrocarbon products, emphasizing points of procedures and management of the terminal and the ship. Specific objectives laid down are as follows: Â analyze the different operations performed a ship Petroleum Products in a terminal storage and distribution. Â Find the optimal parameters for the unloading of ships at the terminal. Â obtain information on the suitability of the location of the terminals, refining conditions of safety. Â Provide the necessary data to plan the operation of a terminal, which is managed in a manner optimized receipt, storage and distribution of petroleum products. The search for information on the different sections of the thesis has highlighted existing problems, concretizados in gaps in the implementation of the procedures used by ships operating in a Terminal. In addition they also show some limitations, that make its performance is less than desired. The studies and field research and the written information gathered at terminals in Spain and in Europe have established the criteria and findings that respond to the goals presented. The first part of the thesis is devoted to investigate the problems that arise when a ship arrives at a terminal to make a discharge operation, producing findings that are used to implement changes in the procedures used, in order to optimize its operations. A second part is devoted to the terminal, becoming exposed to it, deficiencies in the planning of their management. It consists of three blocks in which it is first and foremost an analysis of the functions and facilities which make up the Terminal; secondly is matizan within each operation which are what steps to take; finally reveals problems arise, managing their solution. The alternatives to solve the problems described in the first two parts are reflected in the form of criteria in the third, looking manage optimized form a Terminal. The final conclusions meet the initial objectives to present a series of proposals to be implemented, we do have a terminal managed and fully optimized form.
