Safety
There is nothing more important than providing a safe workplace for our terminal operations personnel, contractors, customers, maritime partners, and the surrounding community. The VEH facility was designed to include state-of-the-art safety equipment and technology, and we ensure all personnel are briefed on proper safety protocols.
Strict adherence to safety protocols is crucial to prevent accidents, protect personnel, and minimize environmental impact. For that reason, we train all personnel on ammonia hazards, safe handling procedures, and emergency response protocols, as well as safety procedures for our natural gas liquids handling and storage operations.
Our comprehensive emergency plan covers shutdown and evacuation procedures as well as first aid response. In addition, all terminal assets, including tanks, piping, and related infrastructure, are inspected and maintained on a regular schedule. Safety manuals are updated annually, and our operations teams complete yearly safety training, fire fighting training, and accident-prevention exercises to ensure preparedness at all times.

We are also proud members of Channel Industries Mutual Aid, a non-profit organization that seamlessly integrates firefighting, rescue, hazardous material handling, and emergency medical capabilities within the refining and petrochemical sector of the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area.
Sustainability
As the world transitions toward a more sustainable future, VEH is embracing its role as a catalyst for positive change. We are committed to developing infrastructure that supports the introduction of essential products for the future, advancing a more sustainable economy while keeping safety and environmental stewardship at the core of our operations. In fact, we are actively reducing our carbon footprint through innovative technologies and the use of carbon offsets.
By keeping these core principles at the center of our day-to-day business, we create long-term value for all our stakeholders, including customers, employees, shareholders, and the local communities where we live and work.
