With these counterparties expanding, this presents
an opportunity for coordinated increase in business
with these two giants, according to Suhl.
"This particular business affords us the opportunity
to link not just Japan and the United States but also
a refining operation and a chemical powerhouse - a
strong connection to make." Suhl commented.

Logistically, SCOA Houston manages a three-part
process for delivering Benzene: the loading of Benzene out of JX NOE's Japanese terminal, the 45-day
voyage across the Pacific Ocean into the US Gulf,
and the discharging of this Benzene at the BASF
Corporation facilities in Geismar, Louisiana.

Benzene is a chemical with true versatility; used as a
constituent in motor fuels, it also serves as a solvent
for waxes, resins, inks, paints, plastics, and rubber. As
an important organic chemical compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, it is classed as
a hydrocarbon. Benzene is also a globally produced,
globally consumed liquid commodity, one that is
also used in the manufacture of detergents, explosives, pharmaceuticals, and dyestuffs. Although used
generally as an intermediate to make other chemicals, Benzene is ultimately used in the manufacture
and production of specialty foams, a key chemical
product that Sumitomo assists in supplying.
