Standard Fuels Oil has announced that the Dalston Fuel Terminal site in Cumbria, UK, is now fully operational.
Standard Fuel Oil purchased the site in October 2025 from Petroineos, which, in 2024, had reported ‘incurring financial losses on supplies in Dalston… along with the wider financial losses being incurred by the refinery.’
In its 2025 buyout press release, Standard Fuel Oil commented: ‘This marks an important milestone in our continued growth and investment across the UK and safeguards a vital piece of national infrastructure. The terminal will play a key role in strengthening our distribution network and ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional service, reliability and value to our customers. We are especially excited to begin working closely with local businesses and communities in and around Dalston and the wider Cumbria region, building strong partnerships, supporting local industry and contributing positively to the region’s economic future. Our commitment to safety, sustainability and service remains at the heart of everything we do, and we look forward to this next chapter with great enthusiasm.’
Standard Fuel Oil then announced the Dalston Fuel Terminal was ‘fully operational’ in early November 2026. Speaking in a Linkedin post, the company says: ‘Following our announcement regarding the acquisition of Dalston Fuel Terminal, we are delighted to confirm that the terminal became fully operational from the start of November. The facility will be operated by Standard Fuel Oils and product will be managed by EET Fuels.’
