> The objective of the Tank Tiger is to serve as a clearinghouse and a single point of contact for parties who desire terminal tank services or utilization of midstream assets and to bring them together with the companies who own these assets and seek further utilization. It also provides for tenants who are leasing storage to find subleasing opportunities, when it makes sense for them to do so. Our expertise in this field provides a fast and efficient connection so that the uncertainty of storage availability is eliminated from the supply and trading equation. The Tank Tiger can facilitate and reduce market inefficiencies and illiquidity by providing this service.

Yep, but it's worth pointing out that this firm just connects you up with people and you have to deal with individual storage owners to buy something. Very high friction to firing up your brokerage app and going long /CL.
