Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
General Information	General Information 1. Overview VTTI Energy Partners LP (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership formed under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on April 11, 2014 by VTTI B.V. (“VTTI”), to own, operate, develop and acquire refined petroleum product and crude oil terminaling and related energy infrastructure assets on a global scale. The assets of the Partnership consist of a 51.0% indirect interest in VTTI MLP B.V., a Netherlands limited liability company (“VTTI Operating”), which owns a portfolio of 6 terminals including, a 100% economic interest of the terminals located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Antwerp, Belgium, Johore, Malaysia and Seaport Canaveral, USA and a 90% economic interest of the terminals located in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Fujariah, UAE. The remaining 49.0% economic interest in VTTI Operating is owned by VTTI, a privately held limited liability company in The Netherlands. VTTI is indirectly owned by Vitol, its affiliates and its investment partners in VIP. On August 6, 2014 the Partnership completed its Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”) at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In conjunction with IPO, the following formation transactions were consummated: • The Partnership incorporated a 100% subsidiary VTTI MLP Holdings Ltd (“VTTI Holdings”), under the laws of the United Kingdom, to acquire through VTTI Holdings, a 36% economic interest in VTTI Operating; • VTTI conveyed its equity interests in VTTI Nederland B.V., VTTI Americas B.V., VTTI SE Asia B.V., Eurotank Belgium B.V. and Fosco Holding Ltd.

Bhd., ETT Jetty Operations B.V., ETT Pipeline Operations B.V., Eurotank Amsterdam B.V., Seaport Canaveral Corp. and 90% equity interests in Euro Tank Terminal B.V. and VTTI Fujairah Terminals Ltd (collectively, the “Operating Companies”) to VTTI Operating; • VTTI conveyed to VTTI MLP Partners BV all of the equity interests in VTTI Operating, including shares that represent an economic interest in VTTI Operating (“profit shares”) and shares with voting rights (“voting shares”); • VTTI MLP Partners BV conveyed 0.72% of its profit shares in VTTI Operating to VTTI Energy Partners GP LLC ("General Partner"). • VTTI MLP partners BV conveyed 35.28% of its profit shares and 51% of its voting shares in VTTI Operating to the Partnership in exchange for 20,125,000 common units and 20,125,000 subordinated units; • The General Partner conveyed its profit shares in VTTI Operating to the Partnership in exchange for maintaining its 2% general partner interest in the Partnership; • The Partnership conveyed all of its voting and profit shares (constituting a 36% economic interest and a 51% voting interest) in VTTI Operating to VTTI Holdings; • The Partnership issued to our general partner the incentive distribution rights, which entitle the holder to increasing percentages, up to a maximum of 48% , of the cash we distribute in excess of our minimum quarterly distribution of $0.2625 per unit per quarter; • VTTI MLP Partners BV offered 20,125,000 common units (including the underwriters option) representing a 49% limited partner interest in us to the public for $21.00 per unit in which all of the proceeds were retained by VTTI MLP Partners B.V. Expenses related to the offering were borne by VTTI MLP Partners BV; and • We entered into agreements with our general partner and certain of its affiliates, pursuant to which they agreed to, among other things, provide us administrative services, indemnify us for certain liabilities and grant us a right of first offer to acquire the assets from VTTI which include the remaining 64% of the interest in VTTI Operating as well as other terminals that that are owned by VTTI. On July 1, 2015, VTTI Holdings, our subsidiary acquired an additional 6.6% economic interest in VTTI Operating. On August 12, 2016, the Partnership issued 5,250,000 common units which comprised of 3,954,664 units to the underwriters of the public offering at a price of $19.05 per unit and 1,295,336 units to VTTI MLP Partners BV at a price of $19.30 per unit. In conjunction with the offering, we issued 107,142 general partner units to our General Partner to maintain its 2% ownership interest. The proceeds from these unit issuances were used to purchase additional interests in VTTI Operating noted below. On September 1, 2016, VTTI Holdings, our subsidiary, acquired an additional 8.4% economic interest in VTTI Operating. As of December 31, 2016, we have a total 51.0% economic interest and 51.0% voting interest in VTTI Operating. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Partnership issued 220,500 common units in conjunction with awards under the VTTI Energy Partners LP 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan. In conjunction with the issuance of these units, we issued 4,500 general partner units to our General Partner to maintain its 2% ownership interest. See Note 24 Unit based Compensation for further discussion. The following table lists the Partnership's significant subsidiaries and their purpose as of December 31, 2016 . Name Jurisdiction of Formation Purpose VTTI MLP Holdings Ltd. United Kingdom Holding company of VTTI Operating VTTI MLP BV ("VTTI Operating") The Netherlands Holding company Eurotank Belgium B.V. The Netherlands Holding company of ATPC ATPC Terminal N.V. (“ATPC”) Belgium Terminal in Antwerp VTTI Nederland B.V.

The Netherlands Holding company of ATB ATT Tanjung Bin Sdn. Bhd (“ATB”) Malaysia Terminal in Johore The entities listed above are wholly owned by VTTI Operating, with the exception of Euro Tank Terminal B.V. and VTTI Fujairah Terminals Ltd. In these two entities VTTI Operating owns 90% of the economic interest. As used herein, and unless otherwise required by the context, the terms “Partnership”, “we”, “Group”, “our”, “us” and words of similar import refer to VTTI Energy Partners LP and its consolidated companies. The use herein of such terms as group, organization, we, us, ours and its, or references to specific entities, is not intended to be a precise description of corporate relationships. Recent Developments On March 2, 2017, the board of directors of our general partner received a proposal from VTTI pursuant to which VTTI would acquire through a wholly-owned subsidiary all publicly held common units of the Partnership in exchange for $18.75 per common unit, representing a 3% premium over the 30 trading day volume weighted average price as of March 1, 2017. If approved, the transaction would be effected through a merger of the Partnership with a wholly-owned subsidiary of VTTI. The conflicts committee of the board of directors of our general partner is currently considering the proposal. In reviewing the proposal, the conflicts committee has retained its own financial adviser and legal counsel to assist in its work. The proposed transaction is subject to the negotiation and approval of mutually satisfactory definitive documentation by the board of directors of our general partner and its conflicts committee, together with the execution of such documentation by VTTI and us. If a definitive agreement is reached, the transaction will also require approval by at least a majority of the holders of our outstanding common units (other than those common units held by VTTI and its affiliates) and subordinated units. Any transaction would be subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that definitive documentation will be executed or that any transaction will materialize. If a transaction does not materialize, it could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our units. 2. Basis of Preparation and Presentation The consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The amounts are presented in United States dollar (USD) rounded to the nearest million, unless otherwise stated. The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements, unless otherwise noted. Pre-IPO basis of consolidation Prior to the Partnership’s IPO in August 2014, the Partnership’s combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared on a “carve-out” basis for the period January 1, 2014 to August 6, 2014 from the accounting records of VTTI using historical results of operations, assets and liabilities attributable to the Partnership, including allocation of expenses from VTTI. The combined carve-out financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows directly attributable to the Partnership and its terminal-owning and operating subsidiaries plus an allocation of items and expenses as described below: • The combined terminals of the Partnership including the allocated costs were not historically owned by a separate legal entity or operated as a discrete group. Therefore, no separate share capital exists in owner’s equity. • Certain of VTTI Operating’s initial terminals had interest-bearing long-term intercompany debt with the VTTI Group. In the combined carve-out financial statements the intercompany debt has not been reclassified as equity. Certain conversions of debt are separately presented in the statement of owners’ equity. • The Partnership has benefited from VTTI’s general corporate debt, hedging strategy and financing activities. The cost of the corporate debt has been calculated using an effective interest rate charged to the terminals based on the outstanding intercompany loan. The Partnership’s carve-out financial statements include the interest expenses charged by VTTI to the terminals as to reflect their portion in the corporate debt costs. • General and administrative expenses, which include defined benefit pension plan costs of VTTI that cannot be attributed to specific terminals, and for which the Partnership is deemed to have received the benefit of, have been allocated pro rata to the Partnership. A discussion of the relationship with VTTI, including a description of the costs that have been allocated to the Partnership as well as the allocation methodology, is included in Note 4 - Related Party Transactions. • Goodwill arose in 2006 when VTTI acquired Eurotank Amsterdam B.V. and this goodwill amount was allocated to the Partnership. Goodwill related to the acquisition of the Fujairah terminal has been previously recorded in Fosco Holding Ltd, part of VTTI Operating. Reference is made to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Goodwill and Note 9 Goodwill. Management believes that the allocations included in the combined carve-out financial statements are reasonable to present the results of operations and cash flows of the Partnership on a stand-alone basis for the year ended December 31, 2014. However, the results of operations and cash flows of the Partnership may differ from those that would have been achieved had the Partnership operated autonomously for the year ended December 31, 2014, as the Partnership would have had additional general and administrative expenses, including legal, accounting, treasury and regulatory compliance and other costs normally incurred by a stand-alone entity. Accordingly, the combined carve-out financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the future financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Partnership. Post-IPO basis of consolidation The formation transactions described in the Overview section above represent a reorganization of entities under common control and are recorded at VTTI’s historical book value. Investments in companies in which the Partnership directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the voting control are consolidated in the financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the impairment of goodwill and other non-financial assets, useful life of property, plant and equipment, decommissioning costs representing the asset retirement obligations, environmental provisions, employee defined benefit obligations, income taxes, unit based compensation and contingencies. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts and trends in the industry. The results form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. While the Partnership believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. Reporting Currency The consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements are prepared in the reporting currency of U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Partnership operating subsidiaries domiciled in Asia, Middle East and North America is the U.S. dollar, because the subsidiaries operate in the regional or international markets where the majority of revenues and costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. Certain of the Partnership's holding and operating subsidiaries domiciled in Europe operate in the regional and international market where the majority of revenues and costs are denominated in Euro and consequently the functional currency of these subsidiaries is the Euro. Transactions involving currencies other than an entity’s functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. As of the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated to reflect the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying consolidated and combined carve-out statements of operations. The assets and liabilities for those subsidiaries with a functional currency other than U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollar at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenditures are translated at average exchange rates. Differences arising from these foreign currency translations are recorded in the consolidated and combined carve-out balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive income within equity. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 cash and cash equivalents were comprised of cash held in banks. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of bank deposits which are not immediately available for use due to contractual restrictions. Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are customer obligations due under agreed-upon trade terms and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Partnership regularly performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Management regularly reviews trade accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis to determine if any receivables could potentially be uncollectible, and if so, includes a determined amount in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Other Receivables Other receivables are recorded in the balance sheets at their nominal amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Other receivables include employee receivables, proceeds from insurance claims, unbilled reimbursable costs, and tax receivables being mainly value added taxes and other receivables, which management believes to have minimal credit risk. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. The Partnership capitalizes all direct and indirect construction costs. Indirect construction costs include general engineering, direct project management costs and the cost of funds used during construction. Interest on borrowed funds is capitalized on projects during construction based on the weighted-average interest rate of our debt. The Partnership capitalizes interest on all construction projects requiring a completion period of six months or longer. Costs, including complete asset replacements and enhancements or upgrades that increase the original efficiency, productivity or capacity of property, plant and equipment, are also capitalized. The costs of repairs, minor replacements and maintenance projects are expensed as incurred, unless they increase the original efficiency, productivity, capacity or useful life of property, plant and equipment. When an item of property, plant and equipment comprises major components having different useful economic lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is computed from the date that the asset is available for use and is charged to the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic life and taking into account the estimated residual value. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows: Useful life in Years Buildings 10 to 40 Main components of tanks and jetties 10 to 40 Installations 10 to 25 Other equipment 3 to 10 The Partnership assigns asset lives based on reasonable estimates when an asset is placed into service. Subsequent events could cause us to change our estimates, which would impact the future calculation of depreciation expense. Asset Retirement Obligation The Partnership initially records asset retirement obligations at fair value at the time a legal (or constructive) obligation is incurred, if the liability can be reasonably estimated. When the liability is initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related asset is increased by the amount of the liability. Over time, the liability is accreted to its future value, with the accretion recorded as operating expense. The Partnership’s operating assets generally consist of storage tanks, pipelines and related facilities, which when properly maintained, have a prolonged period of economic use. Management is therefore unable to reliably predict when, or if, the Partnership’s tanks, pipelines and related facilities would become completely obsolete and require decommissioning. Accordingly, the Partnership has not recorded a liability or corresponding asset as both the amounts and timing of such potential future costs are indeterminable. Impairment Assessment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Partnership first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If a long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, the impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, such as discounted future cash flows analysis, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Lease Rights Lease rights comprise land lease rights or separately acquired jetty lease rights and are recorded at initial recognition at the amount paid. Following initial recognition, lease rights are expensed using the straight-line method over the life of the lease. The expenses are recognized in the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations under operating expenses. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is annually reviewed for impairment at year-end or more frequently if impairment indicators are identified. The Partnership tests goodwill for impairment using a two-step analysis, with the option of performing a qualitative assessment before performing the first step of the two-step analysis, whereby the carrying value of the reporting unit is compared to its fair value in the first step. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, the second step is performed, where the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to its carrying value. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value. The fair value is estimated using the net present value of discounted cash flows of the reporting unit. Postretirement Benefit Plan Obligations Defined Contribution Plan The Partnership has various pension plans for its employees of which most are defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Partnership pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations as incurred. Defined Benefit Plan and Post Employment Plan The Partnership’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan. The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined obligation, less unrecognized prior service costs and less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled. Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund and are not available to the creditors, nor can they be paid directly to any of the Partnership's’ companies. The cost of providing postretirement benefits is actuarially determined based upon an independent actuarial valuation using management’s best estimates of discount rates, rates of return on plan assets, rates of compensation increase, retirement ages of employees and expected health care costs. The cost of pensions earned by employees is actuarially determined using the projected benefit method pro-rated on credited service. For amortization of unrecognized actuarial gains or losses (originating from differences between expectations and realizations and/or changes in actuarial assumptions) the Corridor Method is used. The unrecognized gain (or loss) exceeding 10% of the greater of projected benefit obligation or fair value of assets is amortized to the statement of operations over the average future work life. Unit based compensation The Partnership awards unit based compensation to eligible participants under the Partnership's Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). All unit based payments to participants under the LTIP are recognized in our consolidated and combined carve-out statements of operations based on their fair values. The fair values of the awards are estimated on the date of grant. Compensation expense equal to the fair value of the awards that are expected to vest is estimated and recorded over the period the grants are earned, which is the vesting period. Compensation expense estimates are updated periodically. The vesting of the performance unit awards is also contingent upon the attainment of predetermined performance goals. Depending on the estimated probability of attainment of those performance goals, the compensation expense recognized related to the awards could increase or decrease over the remaining vesting period. Environmental Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Partnership has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, when (i) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and (ii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Environmental provisions are recognized for soil contamination whereby agreements have been made with the local authorities to remediate or contain the soil contamination. The environmental provisions are undiscounted and have been determined based on agreed remediation plans using existing technology, at current prices and on estimates by third party experts. The recorded provisions comprise the expected costs of site restoration, environmental remediation, cleanup or other obligations that are known and based on an agreed project plan and can be reasonably estimated. Revenue Recognition The Partnership generates revenues through the provision of fee-based services to their customers generally under multi-year agreements. Agreements contain “take-or-pay” provisions whereby the Partnership is entitled to a minimum throughput or storage fee. The Partnership recognizes revenues when the service is provided, the refined petroleum products and crude oil are handled or when the customer’s ability to make up the minimum volume has expired, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. The Partnership’s assessment of each of the four revenue recognition criteria as they relate to their revenue producing activities is as follows: 1. Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement Exists. The Partnership's customary practices are to enter into a written contract, executed by both the customer and the Partnership or to obtain other written correspondence that represents a legally binding arrangement. 2. Service is Provided. The Partnership considers services are provided when the refined petroleum products and crude oil are shipped through, delivered by or stored in their pipelines, terminals and storage facilities, as applicable. 3. Fixed or Determinable Fee. The Partnership negotiates the fees for its services at the outset of its fee-based agreements. The storage fees generally are due in advance on the first day of the month. For other agreements, such as ancillary services, the amount of revenue is determinable after services are provided and volumes handled. These fees are generally determined and invoiced at the end of the month. 4. Collection is Deemed Probable. Collectability is evaluated on a customer-by-customer basis. The Partnership conducts a credit review for all customers at the inception of a new agreement to determine the creditworthiness of potential and existing customers. Collection is deemed probable if it is expected that the customer will be able to pay amounts under the agreement as payments become due. If the Partnership determines that collection is not probable, revenues are deferred and recognized upon cash collection. The Partnership collects taxes on certain revenue transactions to be remitted to governmental authorities, which may include sales, use, value added, goods and services and some excise taxes. These taxes are not included in revenue. Income Taxes Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated and combined carve-out statements of operations except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using enacted tax rates at the balance sheet date and any adjustments to tax payables in respect of previous years. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate for the year in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if we believe it is more likely than not that such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Certain of our valuation allowances and tax uncertainties are associated with entities that we acquired in business combinations. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Interest and penalties and the effects of foreign exchange, if any, related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense. All deferred income tax amounts are recognized as a long term asset or liability. The Netherlands domiciled entities of the Partnership are part of a Netherlands tax fiscal unity (the “Netherlands Fiscal Unity”). The Netherlands Fiscal Unity combines individual tax paying Netherlands entities and their ultimate Netherlands parent company as one taxpayer for Netherlands corporate income tax purposes. The intercompany tax allocations from the Netherlands Fiscal Unity are not subject to tax sharing agreements and no cash payments are made between the companies related to Netherlands tax attributes. Other Comprehensive Income Other comprehensive income consists of post-retirement benefit plan costs not recognized in earnings, the effective portion of a cash flow hedge and the translation differences of entities with a functional currency in Euro, and is reflected net of the related income tax effects. Fair Value Measurements The Partnership utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. Fair value measurements are derived using inputs and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value classification prioritizes the inputs used in measuring the fair value as follows: Level 1: Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Level 2: Assets and liabilities determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3: Assets and liabilities that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques. Accounting for Leases Leases of assets under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized as an expense on a straight-line method over the lease term. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities The Partnership’s primary derivative instruments include interest-rate swap agreements and forward foreign exchange contracts which are recorded at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives, which have not been designated as hedging instruments, are recorded as a gain or loss within other income/(expense) in our consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument or non-derivative instrument that we have formally designated as a hedge, including a hedge in a net investment of a subsidiary, are recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) in our consolidated and combined statement of comprehensive income. Any change in fair value relating to an ineffective portion of a designated hedge is recognized in the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations. The Partnership formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process included linking all derivatives and non-derivatives that were designated as hedges. The Partnership also formally assessed, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives or non-derivatives that were used in hedging transactions were highly effective. If it is determined that a derivative or non-derivative was not highly effective as a hedge, that it had ceased to be a highly effective hedge, or the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. Earnings per unit The Partnership computes earnings per unit using the two-class method for its participating securities, which include the general partner units, common units, subordinated units, and the incentive distribution rights. Recently Issued Accounting Standards New Accounting Standards Adopted ASU 2014-12 In June 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12 Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. ASU 2014-12 requires a reporting entity to treat a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply FASB ASC Topic 718 , Compensation—Stock Compensation to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of ASU No. 2014-12 did not have a material impact on the financial position or the results of operations. ASU 2015-06 In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-06, Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions . Master limited partnerships (MLPs) apply the two-class method to calculate earnings per unit (EPU) because the general partner, limited partners, and incentive distribution rights holders each participate differently in the distribution of available cash. When a general partner transfers (or “drops down”) net assets to a master limited partnership and that transaction is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control, the statements of operations of the master limited partnership are adjusted retrospectively to reflect the dropdown transaction as if it occurred on the earliest date during which the entities were under common control. The amendments in ASU 2015-06 specify that for purposes of calculating historical EPU under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner interest, and previously reported EPU of the limited partners would not change as a result of a dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs also are required. This update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact but will impact the calculation of EPU in periods during which a dropdown transaction of net assets occurs. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted ASU No. 2014-9 In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The ASU provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB has permitted early adoption beginning after December 15, 2016. The Partnership is currently evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets, cash flows or disclosures. The evaluation process includes comparing the new accounting guidance to our current revenue recognition policies, a review of existing contracts with customers and the terms and conditions of such contracts and determining the method of adoption and any related impact on our internal controls. ASU 2016-01 In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) . This update is intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments in the update address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership is evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows. ASU 2016-02 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . This update introduces a new lease model that requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership is evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows. ASU 2016-09 In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting . This update changes how entities recognize the tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled as well as revising guidance on employers' accounting for an employee's use of shares to satisfy the employer's statutory income tax withholding obligation and for forfeitures. This update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance, but all guidance must be adopted in the same period. If an entity adopts the guidance in an interim period, any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Partnership is evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows. ASU 2016-15 In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) : Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows, with the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice with respect to these items. The guidance must be applied retrospectively, and it is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership is evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash , a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force . This update requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets, cash flows or disclosures. ASU 2017-04 In January 2017, the FASB issued issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment. This update simplifies the test for goodwill impairment. The guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which required entities to calculate the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under the new guidance, entities will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount. The guidance must be applied using a prospective approach and is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets, cash flows or disclosures.

Significant Risks and Uncertain

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Significant Risks and Uncertainties Including Business and Credit Concentrations	Significant Risks and Uncertainties Including Business and Credit Concentrations Business Risks The Partnership operates in a single segment consisting of fee-based energy storage and terminaling services, typically under long-term contracts. These services are for a broad mix of customers, including energy trading companies, major integrated oil companies, national oil companies, distributors and chemical and petrochemical companies. We believe key factors that influence our business are (i) the long-term demand for and supply of refined petroleum products and crude oil, (ii) the demand for terminaling services, (iii) the needs of our customers together with the competitiveness of our service offerings with respect to terminal location, flexibility of infrastructure, quality of service, price and safety and (iv) our ability and the ability of our competitors to capitalize on changing market dynamics and opportunities for acquisitions, organic development, greenfield construction and optimization of existing assets. As of December 31, 2016 , the Partnership mitigates the impact of each of these key factors by typically entering into long-term agreements with customers that have significant terminaling services fee components. The following table presents revenues and percentage of consolidated and combined carve-out revenues for any customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Partnership's consolidated and combined carve-out revenues during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 2014 Revenue - Vitol Group 214.7 220.0 232.4 Percentage of total revenue - Vitol Group 68.8 % 76.0 % 76.6 % The majority of our revenue is with the Vitol group of companies (“Vitol” or "Vitol Group"). For further details reference is made to Note 4 – Related Party Transactions. Concentration of Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Partnership if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial instrument and is disclosed in Note 15 - Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities . Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, trade receivables and other receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are held on deposit with major banks. Management believes that the financial institutions holding these amounts are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these assets. The Partnership maintains their cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions for which the combined account balances in individual institutions may exceed the local bank deposit guarantee policies of insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a credit risk related to amounts on deposits in excess of local coverage. Management attempts to minimize credit risk from trade receivables and other receivables by reviewing customers’ credit history before extending credit and by monitoring credit exposure on a regular basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Collateral or other security is generally not required for trade receivables. The majority of our outstanding trade receivables balance is with the Vitol Group. Contingencies Certain conditions may exist as of the balance sheet date that may result in a loss to us, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Our management, with input from legal counsel, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise in judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in proceedings, our management, with input from legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in our consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees are disclosed.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions (a) Related Parties As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the entities of the Partnership were owned 100% directly or indirectly except for ETT and FTL which the Partnership indirectly owns 90% of the economic interest. As of December 31, 2016 , VTTI has a 47.9% interest in the Partnership through its ownership in common, subordinated and general partner units and VTTI indirectly owns 49.0% of VTTI Operating. As of December 31, 2016 , VTTI is indirectly owned by Vitol, its affiliates and its investment partners in VIP. The Vitol Group of companies is a trading company in, amongst others, oil and oil related products, which use the storage, throughput and ancillary services from the Partnership. Prior to November 9, 2015, VTTI was a joint venture 50% owned by Vitol and 50% owned by MISC Berhad (MISC). There were no significant related party transactions with MISC during the periods presented in these financial statements. Vitol The revenue from Vitol can be broken down as follows: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 2014 Terminaling and throughput fees 197.5 204.0 212.9 Excess throughput & ancillary services 17.2 16.0 19.5 Vitol Group total 214.7 220.0 232.4 Subsidiaries of the Partnership also make purchases from Vitol group companies related to the procurement of insurance and for raw commodity materials for our own use. For the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 these amounts were $3.8 million , $4.6 million and $3.7 million , respectively. VTTI The Partnership uses central services for information technology (“IT”) related services, health, safety and environmental (“HSE”) services, human resources (“HR”) recruitment and management development services, various interest and guarantee commissions from VTTI and for other central management and administrative functions. A breakdown of the central service costs included is as follows: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 2014 IT and IT related services 2.6 2.6 3.0 HSE services 0.1 0.1 0.1 HR services 9.7 10.4 11.8 Interest expense 6.3 4.4 13.5 Guarantee commission — 0.1 — Share in governance and stewardship VTTI 4.3 4.7 4.6 Long Term Incentive Plan — — 3.3 Other general and administrative expenses 2.9 3.1 3.0 Total related party expenses 25.9 25.4 39.3 Prior to our IPO on August 6, 2014 these costs that are included in the consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements are stated at cost plus a margin or were allocated to the Partnership using allocation methods based on revenue, construction in progress, maturity and size of the terminals. Additionally certain central management and administrative costs such as governance and stewardship, long term incentive and general and administrative costs were allocated prior to the IPO to appropriately reflect costs incurred by VTTI on behalf of the Partnership as described in Note 2. Subsequent to our IPO, these costs are charged to the Partnership pursuant to the related contractual agreements (described further below) or at cost plus a margin. IT and IT related services relate to the use of the internally developed software to support the customer, customs, operation, accounting and cash management processes. In addition, IT related services includes fees for the development, maintenance and hosting of the VTTI corporate network and desktop environments. HSE services relate to the advice, support and knowledge sharing activities of the central HSE department. The facilitation of Hazard and Operability Analyses (HAZOP) and safety and incident investigation are also included in these charges. HR services relate to employment of the employees of the terminals Euro Tank Terminal B.V. (Rotterdam), Eurotank Amsterdam B.V. (Amsterdam) and ATPC Terminal N.V. (Belgium). Interest expense relates to interest on related party debt from the Partnership to VTTI, and guarantee commissions related to the bank guarantees (if any) given to third parties by VTTI on behalf of the Partnership. Governance and stewardship of VTTI, long term incentive plan and other general and administrative expenses include other expenses incurred by VTTI which are charged to the Partnership in accordance with the Partnership agreement as these costs are incurred on their behalf.

(b) Receivable and Payables to Affiliates The amounts receivable as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 resulting from the related party transactions are as follows: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 Vitol group of companies 12.4 11.8 VTTI group of companies 5.8 4.6 Amounts receivable 18.2 16.4 The amounts payable as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 resulting from the related party transactions are as follows: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 Vitol group of companies 0.1 0.1 VTTI group of companies 11.8 19.0 Amounts payable 11.9 19.1 Amounts receivable from and payable to affiliates are unsecured, and are intended to be settled in the ordinary course of business. Amounts receivable from affiliates primarily consist of fees for terminaling services agreements and payments made on behalf of affiliates. Amounts payable to affiliates primarily consist of amounts due for services provided to us including those described herein and current installments of related party loans and accrued interest. (c) Long-term Debt Affiliates The Partnership had long-term debt with VTTI originating from historical capital investments in the terminals. The long-term debt is interest bearing based on an interest structure similar to VTTI’s interest structure with their third party banks. This affiliate debt was settled in conjunction with our formation transactions in 2014 including converting $200 million of debt into equity. See Note 10 - Long-term Debt . (d) ATB Phase 2 Construction and Operations Prior to our IPO in August 2014, our subsidiary, ATT Tanjung Bin Sdn Bhd, or ATB, began construction of the second phase of our Johore terminal (“ATB Phase 2”). In conjunction with the IPO and pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, we agreed to transfer all assets related to the development, construction or operation of ATB Phase 2 to VTTI as promptly as reasonably practicable after the closing of our IPO. After good faith efforts to transfer these assets, we found it reasonably impracticable to do so, and ATB continues to own the assets. In July 2014, VTTI granted to ATB a $95 million loan facility in which ATB periodically drew on this facility to pay for costs and expenses related to the construction of ATB Phase 2. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , $66.9 million and $75.2 million respectively is outstanding and incurs interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 3.5% . VTTI additionally agreed to indemnify ATB from all claims and losses incurred by ATB in connection with ATB Phase 2. In consideration for VTTI’s obligations under the ATB Phase 2 Facility, ATB agreed to remit to VTTI all revenue received from ATB Phase 2 in excess of the costs ATB incurs to operate ATB Phase 2. Such excess revenue will initially repay the outstanding amounts drawn on the ATB Phase 2 Facility and, upon repayment of the amounts outstanding under the facility in full, will be remitted to VTTI without restriction. ATB’s repayment obligations commenced when ATB Phase 2 was completed in August 2015. In conjunction with our formation transactions, we recognized $24.4 million of construction work in progress and a corresponding liability for the amount due under the ATB Phase 2 Loan. The $24.4 million liability was then settled as part of our formation transactions. During the period ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 , $0 million and $20 million was drawn down under the related facility. See Note 10 - Long-term Debt for additional information on the ATB Phase 2 Loan. In August 2015, ATB Phase 2 initiated operations and as such began recording revenue and related expenses for the operations of the Phase 2 assets. As the Phase 2 assets are part of ATB, the associated revenues and expenses for ATB Phase 2 are included in the Partnership's consolidated statement of operations and consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the agreement described further above, revenue received in excess of the costs to operate ATB Phase 2 are to repay outstanding amounts drawn under the facility including interest and any excess cash at ATB related to the ATB Phase 2 assets is for the economic benefit of VTTI BV and as such is classified as restricted cash on the Partnership's consolidated balance sheet. Net income derived from the ATB Phase 2 assets which is not for the benefit of the Partnership due to the contractual terms noted above for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $4.4 million and $1.6 million respectively. (e) Indemnifications and guarantees Tax indemnifications In conjunction with our IPO and formation transactions and pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, VTTI has indemnified us of all tax liabilities attributable to the operation of the assets contributed to us prior to the time they were contributed. Environmental indemnifications In conjunction with our IPO and formation transactions and pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, VTTI has indemnified us for all known liabilities exceeding $29.8 million in the aggregate and certain unknown liabilities arising out of any violation of environmental laws and any environmental condition or event associated with the operation of our assets and occurring at or before the closing of our IPO whether discovered before or after the closing of our IPO. Indemnification for all known environmental losses is limited to those identified within five years of the applicable completion dates of soil remediation projects at our Amsterdam and Antwerp terminals. Indemnification for all unknown environmental liabilities is limited to those identified prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing of our IPO. Liabilities resulting from a change in law after the closing of our IPO are excluded from the environmental indemnity. There is an aggregate cap of $10 million on the amount of indemnity coverage provided by VTTI for environmental and toxic tort liabilities. No such claim may be made unless the aggregate dollar amount of all claims exceeds $500,000 in which case VTTI is liable for claims only to the extent such aggregate amount exceeds $500,000 . Guarantees and New or Extended Contracts Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, VTTI guaranteed the rates of certain capacity contracted by Vitol for a specified period of time after the applicable Vitol terminaling services agreement expires. If VTTI fails to reimburse the Partnership for the aggregate monthly amount that Vitol would have paid under the expiring terminaling services agreements, Vitol and MISC, jointly and severally, must reimburse the Partnership for such losses. In connection with the acquisition of MISC's 50% share of VTTI, Vitol agreed to extend or enter into new terminaling services agreements with terms expiring on or after the end of each agreement's respective guarantee period expiration date and at rates and capacity, in the aggregate, equal to or greater than the rates and capacity currently set forth in the existing Vitol terminaling services agreements. On November 9, 2015, following a determination by the Board that the guarantees by VTTI, Vitol and MISC are no longer necessary upon the effectiveness of the new Vitol terminaling services agreements, the parties to the Omnibus Agreement have amended the Omnibus Agreement to remove all provisions related to such guarantees. The table below specifies the changes from the Omnibus Guarantee on Vitol’s existing storage capacity and the revised expiration of the contracted capacity for each respective terminal: Terminal Country Omnibus Agreement Guarantee Period Expiration New Terminaling Services Agreement Expiration Capacity (MMBbls) Amsterdam Netherlands June 2019 December 2019 2.9 Antwerp Belgium June 2017 December 2018 2.3 Rotterdam Netherlands June 2019 September 2019 5.1 Seaport Canaveral US June 2017 March 2019 2.8 Fujairah UAE June 2019 June 2019 7.4 20.5 (f) Administrative Services and Secondment Agreement In conjunction with our IPO in August 2014, we entered into an administrative services agreement (the “Administrative Services Agreement”) with VTTI Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to which VTTI Holdings will provide certain management and administrative services to us. Pursuant to the applicable provisions of a secondment agreement (the “Secondment Agreement”) that VTTI Holdings entered into with VTTI Services, an indirect subsidiary of VTTI, VTTI Services makes its employees available to VTTI Holdings, including the executive officers of our general partner, to provide these services. The services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement are provided in a diligent manner, as we may reasonably direct. VTTI Holdings reimburses VTTI Services for the costs that it incurs in providing administration and office expenses as well as compensation and benefits to its employees made available to VTTI Holdings with a cost mark-up of 5% applied to the salaries of back-office staff, 10% applied to the salaries of executive officers and 12.5% applied to executive officer bonuses. Total amounts incurred under the secondment agreement and reimbursement of expenses to VTTI Services for the period ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 were $3.3 million , $1.9 million and $0.9 million respectively. (g) MLP Loan Agreement In July 2014, VTTI granted to the Partnership a related party loan facility of $75 million . The loan drawn on this facility may be used for general corporate and working capital purposes including financing of dropdown acquisitions from VTTI. The loan facility incurs interest on the aggregate outstanding balance of the loan at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.5% per annum. The final maturity date of the loan facility is December 31, 2020. On July 1, 2015, the Partnership borrowed $75 million under this loan facility.

See Note 10 - Long-term Debt for additional information. (h) Acquisition of Additional Interests in VTTI Operating On July 1, 2015, the Partnership completed the acquisition of an additional 6.6% economic interest in VTTI Operating for total consideration of $75 million from VTTI.

The cost of providing the defined benefit pension is determined based upon independent actuarial valuations and several actuarial market assumptions. Under accounting standards for postretirement benefits (ASC Topic 715), the Partnership recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of each of its defined benefit pension as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The plans’ benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets, and unfunded status as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 Change in benefit obligation Benefit obligation at beginning of the year 13.9 17.0 Service cost 0.6 0.5 Interest cost 0.3 0.3 Plan participants contribution 0.1 0.1 Administrative expenses/taxes paid (0.1 ) — Actuarial (gain)/loss — (1.1 ) Plan amendments — — Benefits paid (0.5 ) (1.0 ) Curtailments — — Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes (0.2 ) (1.8 ) Transfers — (0.1 ) Benefit obligation at the end of the year 14.1 13.9 Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets at the beginning of the year 7.0 7.6 Actual return of plan assets 0.5 0.2 Administrative expenses/taxes paid — — Employer contributions 0.9 1.1 Plan participants’ contribution 0.1 0.1 Benefits paid (0.5 ) (1.0 ) Transfers — (0.1 ) Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes (0.3 ) (0.9 ) Fair value of plan assets at the end of the year 7.7 7.0 Unfunded status at the end of the year (6.4 ) (6.9 ) Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income consist of net actuarial (losses) gains of $0.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 .

The return is based exclusively on historical returns, without adjustments. The Partnership’s investment strategy for its pension plan assets not invested in guaranteed investment contracts is to maintain a diversified portfolio of asset classes with the primary goal of meeting long-term cash requirements as they become due. Assets are primarily invested in diversified funds that hold equity or debt securities to maintain the security of the funds while maximizing the returns within the investment policy. The investment policy specifies the type of investment vehicles appropriate for the plan, asset allocation guidelines, criteria for selection of investment managers, procedures to monitor overall investment performance, as well as investment manager performance. The plan assets of the Belgium defined benefit plan are arranged in a Guaranteed Investment Contract (“GIC”) with an insurance company. The contract is an investment in which the fund manager holds or invests in single group annuity contracts issued directly to the retirement plan. The plan receives a direct guarantee of principal and accrued interest from the insurance company. The contract guarantees a fixed rate of return of 3.25% regardless of the performance of the underlying assets, which the insurance company holds within their account. Target asset allocation 2016 2015 Equity securities 0.2 % 0.3 % Bonds 0.4 % 0.4 % Cash and cash equivalents — % — % Guaranteed Investment Contract 99.4 % 99.3 % The Partnership’s retirement plan assets are reported at fair value. Level 1 assets include investments in publicly traded equity securities, bonds and cash and cash equivalents. These securities (or the underlying investments of the funds) are actively traded and valued using quoted prices for identical securities from the market exchanges. A GIC is a stable value fund, which is classified as Level 3. The plan assets are valued at fair value by discounting the related future payments based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable duration considering the creditworthiness of the issuer. The movement in Level 3 assets for 2016 and 2015 was as follows: Level 3 Assets (in US$ millions) Beginning balance at January 1, 2015 7.5 Gain and losses on plan assets: Realized gains/losses relating to assets sold during the year (0.6 ) Purchases, sales, issuances, settlement, net 0.1 Ending balance at December 31, 2015 7.0 Gain and losses on plan assets: Realized gains/losses relating to assets sold during the year 0.3 Purchases, sales, issuances, settlement, net 0.4 Ending balance at December 31, 2016 7.7 The asset allocations of the Partnership's pension benefits as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows: Fair value measurement at December 31, 2016 Plan assets (in US$ millions) Total Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) Significant observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) Equity securities — — — — Bonds — — — — Cash and cash equivalents — — — — Guaranteed Investment Contract 7.7 — — 7.7 7.7 — — 7.7 Fair value measurement at December 31, 2015 Plan assets (in US$ millions) Total Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) Significant observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) Equity securities — — — — Bonds — — — — Guaranteed Investment Contract 7.0 — — 7.0 7.0 — — 7.0 Expected contributions to the benefit plan during the upcoming year amount to $0.7 million , comprising of $0.6 million of Partnership contributions and $0.1 million of participant contributions.

The expected benefits are based on the same assumptions used to measure the Partnership’s benefit obligation at December 31, and include estimated future employee service. (b) Post-employment Obligation Related to the Partnership’s operations in the United Arab Emirates, employees within those legal entities are entitled to a payment upon termination of their employment contracts. This payment is based on the number of years of service provided to their employer and is calculated based on the salary earned at the moment of termination. The related liability has been determined by actuarial calculations using employee specific data such as the average length of service of 5.94 , ( 2015 : 6.12 ) average salary increase of 5% ( 2015 : 5% ), and a discount rate of 4% ( 2015 : 2.50% ). The total liability amounts to $2.8 million as of December 31, 2016 and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2015 . (c) Defined Contribution Plan Expenses The Partnership contributed $2.6 million , $2.4 million and $3.0 million as a cost for the defined contribution plans in the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes (a) Components of Current and Deferred Tax Expense The components of current and deferred income tax expense attributable to income for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 are as follows: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 2014 Current income tax 0.4 — — Deferred income tax 17.5 28.2 24.4 Total Income tax expense 17.9 28.2 24.4 (b) Components of Income Tax Expense VTTI Energy Partners LP is a Marshall Islands limited partnership which is managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (UK). We are not subject to corporation income tax in the Marshall Islands and we are considered transparent for UK taxation purposes and not subject to tax in our own name in the UK, except for our UK subsidiary holding company. A reconciliation between the income tax expense resulting from applying the Marshall Islands or United Kingdom statutory income tax rate and our reported income tax expense has not been presented as it would not provide useful information to the users of our financial statements. However, our subsidiaries operate and earn income in various countries and are subject to taxation laws in those countries. Changes in levels of income, changes in tax laws, and the locations and jurisdictions of our terminals, can affect the Partnership’s overall effective taxable expense. The table below includes income tax expense by jurisdiction after applying the local applicable statutory rate to profit before tax and adjustments for permanent differences and other items is as follows: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 2014 The Netherlands 3.2 8.9 8.6 USA 3.7 3.7 3.1 Malaysia 7.9 6.4 2.2 Belgium 3.4 2.5 1.7 United Kingdom 0.1 — (0.3 ) Total expense before adjustments 18.3 21.5 15.3 Functional currency differences in taxation (1.1 ) 5.8 12.1 Other permanent differences and nondeductible items 0.7 0.9 0.6 Valuation allowance reversal — — (3.6 ) Total income tax expense 17.9 28.2 24.4 (c) Components of Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are presented below. (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 Deferred tax assets: Interest rate swaps 2.1 2.7 Pension obligation and other temporary differences 5.1 2.8 Tax loss carry forwards 31.7 47.9 Property, plant and equipment 1.4 1.5 Total deferred tax assets before valuation allowance 40.3 54.9 Valuation allowance — — Total deferred tax assets before netting 40.3 54.9 Netting positions (16.1 ) (26.6 ) Net deferred tax assets 24.2 28.3 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment 86.0 81.6 Deferred foreign exchange results — 1.1 Foreign exchange forward contracts 6.8 8.5 Other temporary differences 1.2 1.2 Total deferred tax liabilities before netting 94.0 92.4 Netting positions (16.1 ) (26.6 ) Net deferred tax liabilities 77.9 65.8 Net operating loss carryforwards totaling $90.3 million at December 31, 2016 are available to reduce future taxable earnings. These net operating loss carryforwards include $63.5 million with no expiration date; the remaining carryforwards have expiration dates between 2031 and 2034 and relate to our Seaport Canaveral terminal. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The valuation allowances amounted $0 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2014 we reversed a valuation allowance in the amount of $3.6 million related to the deferred tax asset for tax loss carry forwards from transferred pre-fiscal unity losses in the Netherlands. The net deferred tax asset and liability as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is classified in the consolidated balance sheets as non-current. The Partnership had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 . During the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Partnership did not incur any significant interest or penalties on its tax returns. The Partnership is not currently under examination by any U.S. federal, state or non-US tax authorities except for our Seaport Canaveral Terminal entity which is under examination for the 2014 tax year. The following table summarizes the earliest tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxable jurisdictions in which the Partnership operates: Jurisdiction Earliest open year Ongoing examinations USA 2009 2014 United Kingdom 2014 None Belgium 2015 None UAE N/A N/A Malaysia 2010 None The Netherlands 2014 None Marshall Islands N/A N/A (d) Netherlands Fiscal Unity Within a fiscal unity the participating entities are jointly and severally liable for corporate income tax liabilities originating from the period in which the fiscal unity existed. Up until August 2008 the Netherlands terminals of the Partnership formed part of a fiscal unity for the corporate income tax of which Vitol Holdings B.V. was the fiscal parent company. As a result of the acquisition by MISC in terms of the Share Purchase Agreement in August 2010, this fiscal unity was unwound and a new fiscal unity was formed to incorporate the Netherlands terminals of the Partnership, of which VTTI was the parent company. As of August 1, 2014 this fiscal unity ceased to exist and a new fiscal unity was formed consisting of all Netherlands entities within the Partnership with VTTI Operating as the parent. (e) Tax Filings in Other Jurisdictions The Partnership files consolidated and standalone income tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, our income tax filings are subject to review by various taxing authorities. In connection with such reviews, disputes could arise with the tax authorities over the interpretation or application of certain income tax rules related to our business in that tax jurisdiction. Such disputes may result in future tax and interest and penalty assessments by these tax authorities. The ultimate resolution of tax contingencies will take place upon the earlier of (i) the settlement date with the applicable tax authorities in either cash or agreement of income tax positions or (ii) the date when the tax authorities are statutorily prohibited from adjusting the Partnership’s tax computations.

The carrying value of trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current assets, other current liabilities and receivables/payables to affiliates approximate their fair value. The fair values of the financial instruments shown in the above table as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 represent the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Those fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Partnership’s own judgment about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by the Partnership based on the best information available in the circumstances, including expected cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates, available observable and unobservable inputs. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments: • Cash and cash equivalents: The fair value of the Company’s cash balances approximate the carrying amounts due to the current nature of the amounts. • Interest rate swap contracts: The fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined using a discounted cash flow model based on market-based LIBOR/EURIBOR swap yield curves. • Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts: The fair value of our forward foreign exchange contracts is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account interest rates and foreign exchange rates. • Variable rate debt: The carrying value of long-term variable rate debt is considered approximate fair value as it is floating rate debt with variable interest rates reset on a quarterly basis. • Fixed rate debt: The fair value is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to the valuation date. All cash flows are discounted by the discount rate corresponding to its payment date, where the discount rates are derived from market interest rates taking into account credit risk. The following table presents the placement in fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (including those items that are required to be measured at fair value or for which fair value is required to be disclosed) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 : Fair value measurement 2016 (in US$ millions) Total Quoted prices Significant Significant Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents 20.6 20.6 — — Restricted cash 1.7 1.7 — — Current interest rate swap contracts 0.1 — 0.1 — Current forward foreign exchange contracts 11.3 — 11.3 — Non-current forward foreign exchange contracts 19.2 — 19.2 — Financial liabilities: Current interest rate swap contracts 5.3 — 5.3 — Non-current interest rate swap contracts 3.3 — 3.3 — Current forward foreign exchange contracts 1.1 — 1.1 — Non-current forward foreign exchange contracts 2.1 — 2.1 — Long-term debt - variable rate 122.2 — 122.2 — Long-term debt - fixed rate 454.7 454.7 Long-term debt, affiliates, - variable rate current and non-current 141.9 — 141.9 — Fair value measurement 2015 (in US$ millions) Total Quoted prices in Significant Significant Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents, incl restricted cash 55.9 55.9 — — Restricted cash 3.0 3.0 — — Current forward foreign exchange contracts 11.0 — 11.0 — Non-current forward foreign exchange contracts 22.9 — 22.9 — Financial liabilities: Current interest rate swap contracts 5.1 — 5.1 — Non-current interest rate swap contracts 5.8 — 5.8 — Long-term debt - variable rate 104.0 — 104.0 — Long-term debt fixed rate 443.1 — 443.1 — Long-term debt, affiliates - variable rate current and non-current 150.2 — 150.2 — There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and hedging activities	Financial Instruments and hedging activities The Partnership manages various risks using derivative and non-derivative financial instruments including interest rate swaps, forward foreign currency contracts and foreign currency denominated loans to hedge net assets of foreign investments. The Partnership does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Interest rate risk management and interest rate swap agreements The Partnership assesses interest rate risk by monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows. The Partnership has historically used variable interest rate long-term debt to finance its terminal construction or conversions. The variable interest rate long-term debt obligations expose the Partnership to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The Partnership believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments. To meet this objective, the Partnership entered into LIBOR and EURIBOR based interest rate swap contracts to manage the significant fluctuations in cash flow resulting from changes in the benchmark interest rate. These swaps change the variable rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Partnership received LIBOR and EURIBOR based variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed rate debt for the notional amount of its debt hedged. Additionally during the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Partnership entered into additional interest swaps whereby the Partnership pays floating interest rate for a notional debt amount and receives a fixed rate rate of interest. Interest rate swaps were designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes until July 11, 2014. From inception until July 11, 2014, changes in the fair value of a derivative that was qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge were recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings were affected by the forecasted transaction or upon termination. The Partnership terminated its interest swap agreements in existence at July 11, 2014 in conjunction with its refinancing activities prior to the IPO and therefore recognized a loss on termination of $9.2 million in the consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements. Subsequent to July 11, 2014, the Partnership does not apply hedge accounting for its interest rate swap agreements and therefore the change in fair value of these agreements is recognized in the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations as a component of other income/(expense). Information regarding our interest rate swaps at December 31, 2016 and 2015 whereby we receive floating rate of interest and pay a fixed rate of interest is as follows: Notional debt amount (millions) Currency Floating Fixed December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Interest rate swap 1 EUR EURIBOR 3M 1.671 % € 129.7 € 178.3 Interest rate swap 2 EUR EURIBOR 3M 1.880 % € 61.4 € 10.0 Interest rate swap 3 USD US-LIBOR 3M 1.627 % $ 225.0 $ 225.0 Interest rate swap 4 EUR EURIBOR 3M 0.665 % € 1.5 € 1.5 Information regarding our interest rate swaps at December 31, 2016 and 2015 whereby we pay a floating rate of interest and receive a fixed rate of interest is as follows: Notional debt amount (millions) Currency Floating Fixed December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Interest rate swap 5 USD US-LIBOR 3M 0.752 % $ 170.0 $ — Interest rate swap 6 EUR EURIBOR 3M 0.049 % € 145.0 € — A split between the current and non-current liability is provided below: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 Interest rate swaps – current (5.3 ) (5.1 ) Interest rate swaps – non-current (3.3 ) (5.8 ) Total interest rate swap liability (8.6 ) (10.9 ) A split between the current and non-current asset is provided below: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 Interest rate swap - assets current 0.1 — Interest rate swap - assets non-current — — Total interest rate swap asset 0.1 — As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the total notional amount in US Dollars of the Partnership’s outstanding interest rate swap contracts that were entered into in order to hedge outstanding debt obligations was $105.2 million and $431.6 million respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the carrying amounts of the interest rate swaps contracts were liabilities of $8.6 million and $10.9 million , respectively and assets of $0.1 million and $0.0 million , respectively. The maturity dates of all interest rate swaps entered into correlate with the underlying maturity terms of the VTTI Operating Revolving Credit Facility. The total realized and unrealized net loss that was recognized in the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2.6 million and $3.0 million respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2014 an amount of $5.3 million was recognized in other comprehensive income for interest rate swaps qualifying for hedge accounting. There were no amounts recognized in other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 . Foreign exchange risk management and forward foreign exchange contracts The Partnership and a number of its subsidiaries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, additionally the Partnership’s reporting currency is also U.S. dollars. However, the Partnership does earn revenue and incur expenses in other currencies, primarily, the Euro, and there is thus a risk that currency fluctuations in the Euro and other currencies against the US Dollar, could have an adverse effect on our results and cash flows. The Partnership uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and risk and to provide a level of certainty on its estimated net Euro cash flows in US Dollars and a portion of our Malaysian Ringgit cash outflows in US Dollars. Such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet depending on the estimated fair value at the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2016 , the Partnership had forward foreign exchange contracts with total notional amounts of €141.0 million for its Euro/US Dollar contracts and $26.8 million for its US Dollar/Malaysian Ringgit contracts. As of December 31, 2015 , the Partnership had forward foreign exchange contracts with a total notional amount of €154.6 million for Euro/US Dollar contracts. Details regarding our forward foreign exchange contracts is provided below: 2016 (in millions) Currency Notional US$ Receiving rates Maturity Forward foreign exchange rate contracts EUR 73.4 1.28430-1.31700 2017-2020 Forward foreign exchange rate contracts EUR 37.6 1.3374 2017-2019 Forward foreign exchange rate contracts EUR 30.0 1.34135 2017-2019 EUR 141.0 (in millions) Currency Notional MYR non-deliverable rates Maturity Forward foreign exchange rate contracts USD 26.8 3.9910-4.3340 2017-2020 2015 (in millions) Currency Notional US$ Receiving rates Maturity Forward foreign exchange rate contracts EUR 61.2 1.3548 2016-2019 Forward foreign exchange rate contracts EUR 51.4 1.3374 2016-2019 Forward foreign exchange rate contracts EUR 42.0 1.3414 2016-2019 EUR 154.6 The total realized and unrealized gains recognized in the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations relating to forward foreign exchange rate contracts in 2016 and 2015 amounted to $2.5 million and $23.2 million respectively. A split between the current and non-current asset is provided below: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 Forward foreign exchange rate contracts – current asset 11.3 11.0 Forward foreign exchange rate contracts – non-current asset 19.2 22.9 Total forward foreign exchange rate contract asset 30.5 33.9 A split between the current and non-current liability is provided below: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 Forward foreign exchange rate contracts – current liability 1.1 — Forward foreign exchange rate contracts – non-current liability 2.1 — Total forward foreign exchange rate contract liability 3.2 — Hedge of net investment in subsidiary VTTI Operating manages a portion of its Euro currency exposure in its investment in the net assets of VTTI Operating, through Euro denominated loans that VTTI Operating enters into. Certain gains and losses resulting from foreign currency in VTTI Operating’s net investments in its subsidiaries are offset by losses and gains in the Euro denominated loans. The carrying value of the Euro denominated loans as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 is €220 million and €225 million respectively. VTTI Operating uses non-derivative financial instruments to hedge this exposure and measures the ineffectiveness of such hedges based on the change in spot foreign exchange rates. For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 we recognized $7.5 million and $28.5 million respectively in other comprehensive income for the effective portion of the net investment hedge. Credit risk and market risk for derivative financial instruments By using derivative financial instruments the Partnership exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Partnership, which creates credit risk for the Partnership. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Partnership owes the counterparty and, therefore, the Partnership is not exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk in those circumstances. The Partnership minimizes counterparty credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with major banking and financial institutions. The derivative instruments entered into by the Partnership do not contain credit risk-related contingent features. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a derivative instrument that results from a change in interest rates or currency exchange rates. The market risk associated with interest rate contracts and forward foreign exchange contracts are managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken for type of contract.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies (a) Claims and Legal Proceedings The Dutch Fiscale Inlichtingen- en Opsporingsdienst / Economische Controledienst (“FIOD”) and the public prosecutor started an investigation in 2006 into Eurotank Amsterdam B.V. for a possible violation of the Excise Duty Act (Wet op de accijns), the customs Act (Douanewet) and the State Taxes Act (Algemene wet inzake rijksbelastingen), (collectively, “the FIOD Investigation”) in the years prior to 2006. Following this investigation, Eurotank Amsterdam B.V. started litigation proceedings against certain former employees in connection with an alleged scheme to embezzle money from Eurotank Amsterdam B.V. (the “embezzlement claims”). In connection with the sale of the shares of Eurotank Amsterdam B.V., the former shareholder (Dagenstaed Investments B.V.) and its ultimate parent (WorldPoint Terminals Inc.) agreed to fully indemnify Eurotank Amsterdam B.V. on a joint and several basis for claims that might arise against it from the FIOD investigation and the embezzlement claims. In the financial statements an amount of $0.5 million has been included under current liabilities for potential claims resulting from the FIOD investigation. Because Eurotank Amsterdam B.V. will be indemnified for such claims, and such amounts are determined to be probable of recovery, a receivable for the same amount is recorded under other receivables. In the opinion of management there are no other significant legal proceedings currently underway resulting in possible material claims or contingent assets/liabilities. (b) Rental Obligations and Operational Lease Commitments As of December 31, 2016 the Partnership has future minimum non-cancellable land and operational lease commitments as follows: (in US$ millions) 2017 14.3 2018 10.8 2019 10.9 2020 10.9 2021 11.0 Thereafter 79.7 Total 137.6 During the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , $13.0 million , $12.6 million and $13.7 million of rental and other operational lease expenses were recognized in the consolidated and combined carve-out statements of operations. Lease obligations and commitments primarily relate to the lease, rent or leasehold of land from governmental port authorities and third parties. The terms and conditions of the land leases vary but are, including where applicable extension options, long-term. (c) Bank guarantees and Letters of Credit As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Partnership had issued bank guarantees in respect of the custom duties and taxes for a total amount of $19.9 million and $30.7 million respectively. (d) Capital Commitments The Partnership had capital commitments and other contractual commitments (mainly related to construction work in progress) as follows: (in US$ millions) 2016 2015 2016 — 9.8 2017 6.8 0.3 Thereafter 0.1 — Total 6.9 10.1 (e) Demurrage and Other Claims From time to time, the Partnership may become a party to certain claims or legal complaints arising in the ordinary course of business, such as demurrage claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of the potential or existing claims and complaints will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, statements of income or cash flows. Our liquid storage and transport systems may experience damage as a result of an accident, natural disaster or terrorist activity. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and suspension of operations. We maintain insurance of various types that we consider adequate to cover our operations and properties. The insurance covers our assets in amounts considered reasonable. The insurance policies are subject to deductibles that we consider reasonable and not excessive. Our insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with operating our facilities, including the potential loss of significant revenues. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured, indemnified or reserved against, or the failure of a party to meet its indemnification obligations, could materially and adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Non-Controlling Interests	Non-Controlling Interests Acquisition of additional economic interests in VTTI Operating On September 1, 2016, the Partnership completed the acquisition of an additional 8.4% economic interest in VTTI Operating for total consideration of $96.2 million from VTTI. As a result of this acquisition, the Partnership's total economic interest in VTTI Operating increased to 51% as of December 31, 2016. VTTI Operating was already a controlled subsidiary of the Partnership and as such this has been accounted for as an equity transaction. The result is a de-recognition of 8.4% of the non-controlling interest in the amount of $55.1 million and $41.1 million recognized in partners' capital for the amounts paid in excess of the book value of the non-controlling interest. On July 1, 2015, the Partnership completed the acquisition of an additional 6.6% economic interest in VTTI Operating for total consideration of $75 million from VTTI. As a result of this acquisition, the Partnership’s total economic interest in VTTI Operating increased to 42.6% . VTTI Operating was already a controlled subsidiary of the Partnership and as such this has been accounted for as an equity transaction. The result is a de-recognition of 6.6% of the non-controlling interest in the amount of $48.7 million and $26.3 million recognized in partners’ capital for the amounts paid in excess of the book value of the non-controlling interest.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Unit based compensation	Unit based compensation The Partnership awards unit based compensation to executive officers of our general partner and other key service providers under our LTIP. We recognized net compensation expense related to LTIP awards of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 . For awards that have been granted to participants who are employed by VTTI or its other subsidiaries not within the Partnership, we have recognized a reduction in compensation expense and a corresponding receivable of $0.4 million as the Partnership will be reimbursed for the related expense from VTTI. LTIP In conjunction with our IPO, our general partner adopted the VTTI Energy Partners LP 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or the LTIP, for officers, directors and employees of our general partner or its affiliates, and any consultants, affiliates of our general partner or other individuals who perform services for us. Our general partner may issue our executive officers and other service providers long-term equity based awards relating to our common units under the LTIP. These awards, which may include unit options, unit appreciation rights, restricted units, phantom units, other unit-based awards distribution equivalent rights, and profits interest units, will be intended to compensate the recipients based on performance and the recipient’s continued service during the vesting period, as well as to align recipients’ long-term interests with those of our unitholders. The LTIP is administered by the board of directors of our general partner or any committee thereof that may be established for such purpose or to which the board of directors or such committee may delegate such authority, subject to applicable law. All determinations with respect to awards to be made under our LTIP will be made by the plan administrator and we will be responsible for the cost of awards granted under our LTIP. The LTIP limits the number of units that may be delivered pursuant to vested awards to 4,100,000 common units, subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of unit splits and similar events. After giving effect to the units issued during the year ended December 31, 2016 , 3,965,122 units were available for issuance as of December 31, 2016 . LTIP Foundation In April, 2016, the Partnership entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Stichting Administratiekantoor VTTI, a foundation incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (the “Foundation”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, in May 2016, the Partnership issued 220,500 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”) to the Foundation in consideration for the Foundation’s promise to subsequently issue depositary receipts with respect to common units of the Partnership to be held in trust by the Foundation and distribution equivalent rights to certain employees, consultants and directors of the general partner of the Partnership and its affiliates (the “Participants”). The Foundation will hold the Common Units on behalf of the Participants and will not transfer the Common Units to any other person until such time as the depositary receipts have vested, as described further below. Upon vesting, the Participant may offer the depositary receipts for sale to the Foundation. The Participant will receive as payment for such depositary receipts an amount equal to the proceeds that the Foundation receives for selling the Common Units corresponding to such sold depositary receipts. In no event may the Participant request or demand exchange of any of depositary receipts awarded to the Participant for the underlying common units held in trust by the Foundation. 2016 Awards During the year ended December 31, 2016 , a total of 134,878 depositary receipts were issued to participants under the LTIP plan. These awards consist of depositary receipts in the Stichting that will entitle the recipients to receive, from the Stichting, upon or following the vesting of the award, a payment equal to the cumulative distributions paid in respect of a common unit from and after the date of grant of the award and the participant may offer their depositary receipts for sale to the Foundation based on the value of a common unit. The award consist of two types: (i) restricted depositary receipts, which vest based on the recipient’s continued service (generally in equal annual installments following the date of grant of the award), and (ii) performance depositary receipts, which are eligible to vest based on performance at the end of a three -year performance period. 50% of the performance depositary receipts are eligible to vest on a non-discretionary basis, based on the Partnership attaining certain distributable cash flow growth levels over the performance period, and 50% of the performance depositary receipts are eligible to vest at the end of the performance period in the discretion of our general partner’s board of directors. Pro-rated vesting of the performance depositary receipts would occur in the event of a change in control of us or our general partner. In the event the recipient’s service terminates prior to vesting of a restricted depositary receipt or performance depositary receipt, as applicable, the award is forfeited without consideration, unless, with respect to performance depositary receipts, such termination is due to the recipient’s death, disability or retirement. In the event of a termination due to death, disability or retirement, the recipient would remain entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of the performance depositary receipts that would otherwise have vested at the end of the performance period had he or she remained in service. Fair value of the restricted depositary receipts has been estimated based upon the common unit price on the date of grant taking into account estimated forfeitures. Fair value of the performance depositary receipts has been estimated based upon the common unit price at the end of each reporting period until the grants and vesting period is certain taking into account estimated forfeitures and the probability of achievement of certain performance goals during a three period. The following table includes the activity for the year ended December 31, 2016 : Number of units Weighted average Grant Date Fair Value (1) Unvested at January 1, 2016 — $ — Granted 134,878 18.38 Vested — — Forfeited — — Unvested at December 31, 2016 134,878 (1) The weighted average grant date fair value is determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards by the number of awards issued. As of December 31, 2016 , the Partnership expects to to recognize $1.7 million of compensation expense related to the LTIP over a weighted average period of 1.6 years before reimbursement by VTTI for employees outside of the Partnership entities.

(2) This refers to distributions made or to be made in relation to the period irrespective of the declaration and payment dates and based on the numbers of units outstanding at the record date, except for the units issued to the LTIP Foundation for LTIP awards. Also included in this amount is $0.5 million paid to the General Partner for the incentive distribution rights for the year ended December 31, 2016 . (3) Refers to cash distributions relating to the period declared and paid during the period. (4) Refers to cash distributions declared relating to the period and paid subsequent to the period end. Earnings per unit information is given for the period from the date of the closing of the IPO (August 6, 2014). Earnings per unit has not been presented for any period prior to the IPO as the information is not comparable due to the change in the Partnership structure and the basis of preparation as described in note 2. As of December 31, 2016 , of the Partnership’s total number of units outstanding representing limited partner interests, 52.1% were held by the public (in the form of 24,300,164 common units, representing 95 % of the Partnership’s common units) and 45.9% were held by VTTI in the form of 20,125,000 subordinated units, representing 100 % of the Partnership’s subordinated units and 1,295,336 common units, representing 5% of the Partnership's common units). In addition, VTTI, through its ownership of the General Partner, held the 2% general partner interest (in the form of 933,071 general partner units). The General Partner’s, common unit holders’, subordinated unit holders’ and incentive distribution rights’ interest in net income are calculated as if all net income was distributed according to the terms of the Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), regardless of whether those earnings would or could be distributed. The Partnership Agreement does not provide for the distribution of net income; rather, it provides for the distribution of available cash. Available cash is contractually defined as all cash on hand at the end of the quarter less the amount of cash reserves established by the General Partner to provide for the proper conduct of the Partnership’s business, including reserves for maintenance capital expenditures and anticipated capital requirements. In addition, VTTI, as the initial holder of all incentive distribution rights, has the right, at the time when there are no subordinated units outstanding and it has received incentive distributions at the highest level to which it is entitled ( 48.0% for each of the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters) to reset the initial cash target distribution levels at higher levels based on the distribution at the time of the exercise of the reset election. Unlike available cash, net income is affected by non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses. Under the Partnership Agreement, during the subordinated period, the common units will have the right to receive distributions of available cash from operating surplus in an amount equal to the minimum quarterly distributions of $ 0.2625 per unit per quarter, plus arrearages in the payment of minimum quarterly distributions on the common units from prior quarters, before any distributions of available cash from operating surplus may be made on the subordinated units. The amount of the minimum quarterly distribution is $ 0.2625 per unit or $ 1.05 per unit on an annualized basis and is made in the following manner, during the subordinated period: • first , 98.0% to the common unitholders, pro rata, and 2.0% to the General Partner, until each outstanding common unit has received a minimum quarterly distribution of $ 0.2625 ; • second , 98.0% to the common unitholders, pro rata, and 2.0% to the General Partner, until each outstanding common unit has received an amount equal to any arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units for prior quarters during the subordination period; and • third , 98.0% to the subordinated unitholders, pro rata, and 2.0% to the General Partner until each subordinated unit has received a minimum quarterly distribution of $ 0.2625 . In addition, VTTI currently holds all of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership. Incentive distribution rights represent the rights to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. If for any quarter: • the Partnership has distributed available cash from operating surplus to the holders of common and subordinated units in an amount equal to the minimum quarterly distribution; and • the Partnership has distributed available cash from operating surplus on outstanding common units in an amount necessary to eliminate any cumulative arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution; then, the Partnership will distribute any additional available cash from operating surplus for that quarter among the unit holders and the General Partners in the following manner: • first , 98.0% to all unit holders, pro rata, and 2.0% to the General Partner, until each unit holder receives a total of $0.301875 per unit for that quarter (the “first target distribution”); • second , 85.0% to all unit holders, pro rata, and 2.0% to the General Partners and 13.0% to the holders of the incentive distribution rights, pro rata, until each unit holder receives a total of $0.328125 per unit for that quarter (the “second target distribution”); • third , 75.0% to all unit holders, pro rata, and 2.0% to the General Partners and 23.0% to the holders of the incentive distribution rights, pro rata, until each unit holder receives a total of $0.39375 per unit for that quarter (the “third target distribution”); and • thereafter , 50.0% to all unit holders, pro rata, 2.0% to the General Partner and 48.0% to the holders of the incentive distribution rights, pro rata. In each case, the amount of the target distribution set forth above is exclusive of any distributions to common unit holders to eliminate any cumulative arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests set forth above assume that the General Partner maintains its 2.0% general partner interest and that VTTI Partners does not issue additional classes of equity securities.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On January 31, 2017 , the Partnership declared a distribution for the fourth quarter of 2016 of $ 0.3360 per unit. The cash distribution was paid on February 14, 2017 . In February 2017, the Partnership issued 380,220 common units to the Stichting Administratiekantoor VTTI ("the Foundation") to be used for long term incentive plan awards. In conjunction with the issuance of common units to the Foundation, our general partner, VTTI Energy Partners GP LLC, purchased 7,760 general partnership units to be settled in cash. In February 2017, 97,275 restricted and 122,972 depositary and performance receipts respectively were granted under the Partnership's LTIP plan. On March 2, 2017, the Partnership received a proposal from VTTI pursuant to which VTTI would acquire through a wholly owned subsidiary all publicly held common units of the Partnership in exchange for $18.75 per common unit. The proposed transaction is subject to the negotiation and approval of mutually satisfactory definitive documentation by the GP Board and the VTTI board of directors and the execution thereof by the parties thereto. If a definitive agreement is reached, the transaction will also require approval by at least a majority of the holders of outstanding common units (other than those common units held by VTTI and its affiliates) and subordinated units in the Partnership. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. On April 25, 2017, the Partnership declared a distribution for the first quarter of 2017 of $0.3360 per unit. The cash distribution will be paid on May 12, 2017 to unitholders of record as of May 8, 2017.

Summary of Significant Accoun34

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the impairment of goodwill and other non-financial assets, useful life of property, plant and equipment, decommissioning costs representing the asset retirement obligations, environmental provisions, employee defined benefit obligations, income taxes, unit based compensation and contingencies. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts and trends in the industry. The results form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. While the Partnership believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Reporting Currency	Reporting Currency The consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements are prepared in the reporting currency of U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Partnership operating subsidiaries domiciled in Asia, Middle East and North America is the U.S. dollar, because the subsidiaries operate in the regional or international markets where the majority of revenues and costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. Certain of the Partnership's holding and operating subsidiaries domiciled in Europe operate in the regional and international market where the majority of revenues and costs are denominated in Euro and consequently the functional currency of these subsidiaries is the Euro. Transactions involving currencies other than an entity’s functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. As of the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated to reflect the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying consolidated and combined carve-out statements of operations. The assets and liabilities for those subsidiaries with a functional currency other than U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollar at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenditures are translated at average exchange rates. Differences arising from these foreign currency translations are recorded in the consolidated and combined carve-out balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive income within equity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 cash and cash equivalents were comprised of cash held in banks.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of bank deposits which are not immediately available for use due to contractual restrictions.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are customer obligations due under agreed-upon trade terms and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Partnership regularly performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Management regularly reviews trade accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis to determine if any receivables could potentially be uncollectible, and if so, includes a determined amount in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Other Receivables	Other Receivables Other receivables are recorded in the balance sheets at their nominal amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Other receivables include employee receivables, proceeds from insurance claims, unbilled reimbursable costs, and tax receivables being mainly value added taxes and other receivables, which management believes to have minimal credit risk.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. The Partnership capitalizes all direct and indirect construction costs. Indirect construction costs include general engineering, direct project management costs and the cost of funds used during construction. Interest on borrowed funds is capitalized on projects during construction based on the weighted-average interest rate of our debt. The Partnership capitalizes interest on all construction projects requiring a completion period of six months or longer. Costs, including complete asset replacements and enhancements or upgrades that increase the original efficiency, productivity or capacity of property, plant and equipment, are also capitalized. The costs of repairs, minor replacements and maintenance projects are expensed as incurred, unless they increase the original efficiency, productivity, capacity or useful life of property, plant and equipment. When an item of property, plant and equipment comprises major components having different useful economic lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is computed from the date that the asset is available for use and is charged to the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic life and taking into account the estimated residual value. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows: Useful life in Years Buildings 10 to 40 Main components of tanks and jetties 10 to 40 Installations 10 to 25 Other equipment 3 to 10 The Partnership assigns asset lives based on reasonable estimates when an asset is placed into service. Subsequent events could cause us to change our estimates, which would impact the future calculation of depreciation expense.
Asset Retirement Obligation	Asset Retirement Obligation The Partnership initially records asset retirement obligations at fair value at the time a legal (or constructive) obligation is incurred, if the liability can be reasonably estimated. When the liability is initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related asset is increased by the amount of the liability. Over time, the liability is accreted to its future value, with the accretion recorded as operating expense. The Partnership’s operating assets generally consist of storage tanks, pipelines and related facilities, which when properly maintained, have a prolonged period of economic use. Management is therefore unable to reliably predict when, or if, the Partnership’s tanks, pipelines and related facilities would become completely obsolete and require decommissioning. Accordingly, the Partnership has not recorded a liability or corresponding asset as both the amounts and timing of such potential future costs are indeterminable.
Impairment Assessment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment Assessment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Partnership first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If a long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, the impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, such as discounted future cash flows analysis, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Lease Rights	Lease Rights Lease rights comprise land lease rights or separately acquired jetty lease rights and are recorded at initial recognition at the amount paid. Following initial recognition, lease rights are expensed using the straight-line method over the life of the lease. The expenses are recognized in the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations under operating expenses.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is annually reviewed for impairment at year-end or more frequently if impairment indicators are identified. The Partnership tests goodwill for impairment using a two-step analysis, with the option of performing a qualitative assessment before performing the first step of the two-step analysis, whereby the carrying value of the reporting unit is compared to its fair value in the first step. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, the second step is performed, where the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to its carrying value. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value. The fair value is estimated using the net present value of discounted cash flows of the reporting unit.
Defined Contribution Plan	Defined Contribution Plan The Partnership has various pension plans for its employees of which most are defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Partnership pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations as incurred.
Defined Benefit Plan and Post Employment Plan	Defined Benefit Plan and Post Employment Plan The Partnership’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan. The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined obligation, less unrecognized prior service costs and less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled. Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund and are not available to the creditors, nor can they be paid directly to any of the Partnership's’ companies. The cost of providing postretirement benefits is actuarially determined based upon an independent actuarial valuation using management’s best estimates of discount rates, rates of return on plan assets, rates of compensation increase, retirement ages of employees and expected health care costs. The cost of pensions earned by employees is actuarially determined using the projected benefit method pro-rated on credited service. For amortization of unrecognized actuarial gains or losses (originating from differences between expectations and realizations and/or changes in actuarial assumptions) the Corridor Method is used. The unrecognized gain (or loss) exceeding 10% of the greater of projected benefit obligation or fair value of assets is amortized to the statement of operations over the average future work life.
Unit based compensation	Unit based compensation The Partnership awards unit based compensation to eligible participants under the Partnership's Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). All unit based payments to participants under the LTIP are recognized in our consolidated and combined carve-out statements of operations based on their fair values. The fair values of the awards are estimated on the date of grant. Compensation expense equal to the fair value of the awards that are expected to vest is estimated and recorded over the period the grants are earned, which is the vesting period. Compensation expense estimates are updated periodically. The vesting of the performance unit awards is also contingent upon the attainment of predetermined performance goals. Depending on the estimated probability of attainment of those performance goals, the compensation expense recognized related to the awards could increase or decrease over the remaining vesting period
Environmental Provisions	Environmental Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Partnership has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, when (i) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and (ii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Environmental provisions are recognized for soil contamination whereby agreements have been made with the local authorities to remediate or contain the soil contamination. The environmental provisions are undiscounted and have been determined based on agreed remediation plans using existing technology, at current prices and on estimates by third party experts. The recorded provisions comprise the expected costs of site restoration, environmental remediation, cleanup or other obligations that are known and based on an agreed project plan and can be reasonably estimated.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Partnership generates revenues through the provision of fee-based services to their customers generally under multi-year agreements. Agreements contain “take-or-pay” provisions whereby the Partnership is entitled to a minimum throughput or storage fee. The Partnership recognizes revenues when the service is provided, the refined petroleum products and crude oil are handled or when the customer’s ability to make up the minimum volume has expired, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. The Partnership’s assessment of each of the four revenue recognition criteria as they relate to their revenue producing activities is as follows: 1. Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement Exists. The Partnership's customary practices are to enter into a written contract, executed by both the customer and the Partnership or to obtain other written correspondence that represents a legally binding arrangement. 2. Service is Provided. The Partnership considers services are provided when the refined petroleum products and crude oil are shipped through, delivered by or stored in their pipelines, terminals and storage facilities, as applicable. 3. Fixed or Determinable Fee. The Partnership negotiates the fees for its services at the outset of its fee-based agreements. The storage fees generally are due in advance on the first day of the month. For other agreements, such as ancillary services, the amount of revenue is determinable after services are provided and volumes handled. These fees are generally determined and invoiced at the end of the month. 4. Collection is Deemed Probable. Collectability is evaluated on a customer-by-customer basis. The Partnership conducts a credit review for all customers at the inception of a new agreement to determine the creditworthiness of potential and existing customers. Collection is deemed probable if it is expected that the customer will be able to pay amounts under the agreement as payments become due. If the Partnership determines that collection is not probable, revenues are deferred and recognized upon cash collection. The Partnership collects taxes on certain revenue transactions to be remitted to governmental authorities, which may include sales, use, value added, goods and services and some excise taxes. These taxes are not included in revenue.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated and combined carve-out statements of operations except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using enacted tax rates at the balance sheet date and any adjustments to tax payables in respect of previous years. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate for the year in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if we believe it is more likely than not that such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Certain of our valuation allowances and tax uncertainties are associated with entities that we acquired in business combinations. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Interest and penalties and the effects of foreign exchange, if any, related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense. All deferred income tax amounts are recognized as a long term asset or liability. The Netherlands domiciled entities of the Partnership are part of a Netherlands tax fiscal unity (the “Netherlands Fiscal Unity”). The Netherlands Fiscal Unity combines individual tax paying Netherlands entities and their ultimate Netherlands parent company as one taxpayer for Netherlands corporate income tax purposes. The intercompany tax allocations from the Netherlands Fiscal Unity are not subject to tax sharing agreements and no cash payments are made between the companies related to Netherlands tax attributes.
Other Comprehensive Income/(loss)	Other Comprehensive Income Other comprehensive income consists of post-retirement benefit plan costs not recognized in earnings, the effective portion of a cash flow hedge and the translation differences of entities with a functional currency in Euro, and is reflected net of the related income tax effects.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Partnership utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. Fair value measurements are derived using inputs and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value classification prioritizes the inputs used in measuring the fair value as follows: Level 1: Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Level 2: Assets and liabilities determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3: Assets and liabilities that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.
Accounting for Leases	Accounting for Leases Leases of assets under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized as an expense on a straight-line method over the lease term.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities	Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities The Partnership’s primary derivative instruments include interest-rate swap agreements and forward foreign exchange contracts which are recorded at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives, which have not been designated as hedging instruments, are recorded as a gain or loss within other income/(expense) in our consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument or non-derivative instrument that we have formally designated as a hedge, including a hedge in a net investment of a subsidiary, are recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) in our consolidated and combined statement of comprehensive income. Any change in fair value relating to an ineffective portion of a designated hedge is recognized in the consolidated and combined carve-out statement of operations. The Partnership formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process included linking all derivatives and non-derivatives that were designated as hedges. The Partnership also formally assessed, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives or non-derivatives that were used in hedging transactions were highly effective. If it is determined that a derivative or non-derivative was not highly effective as a hedge, that it had ceased to be a highly effective hedge, or the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.
Earnings per unit	Earnings per unit The Partnership computes earnings per unit using the two-class method for its participating securities, which include the general partner units, common units, subordinated units, and the incentive distribution rights.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards New Accounting Standards Adopted ASU 2014-12 In June 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12 Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. ASU 2014-12 requires a reporting entity to treat a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply FASB ASC Topic 718 , Compensation—Stock Compensation to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of ASU No. 2014-12 did not have a material impact on the financial position or the results of operations. ASU 2015-06 In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-06, Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions . Master limited partnerships (MLPs) apply the two-class method to calculate earnings per unit (EPU) because the general partner, limited partners, and incentive distribution rights holders each participate differently in the distribution of available cash. When a general partner transfers (or “drops down”) net assets to a master limited partnership and that transaction is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control, the statements of operations of the master limited partnership are adjusted retrospectively to reflect the dropdown transaction as if it occurred on the earliest date during which the entities were under common control. The amendments in ASU 2015-06 specify that for purposes of calculating historical EPU under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner interest, and previously reported EPU of the limited partners would not change as a result of a dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs also are required. This update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact but will impact the calculation of EPU in periods during which a dropdown transaction of net assets occurs. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted ASU No. 2014-9 In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The ASU provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB has permitted early adoption beginning after December 15, 2016. The Partnership is currently evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets, cash flows or disclosures. The evaluation process includes comparing the new accounting guidance to our current revenue recognition policies, a review of existing contracts with customers and the terms and conditions of such contracts and determining the method of adoption and any related impact on our internal controls. ASU 2016-01 In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) . This update is intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments in the update address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership is evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows. ASU 2016-02 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . This update introduces a new lease model that requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership is evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows. ASU 2016-09 In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting . This update changes how entities recognize the tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled as well as revising guidance on employers' accounting for an employee's use of shares to satisfy the employer's statutory income tax withholding obligation and for forfeitures. This update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance, but all guidance must be adopted in the same period. If an entity adopts the guidance in an interim period, any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Partnership is evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets or cash flows. ASU 2016-15 In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) : Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows, with the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice with respect to these items. The guidance must be applied retrospectively, and it is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership is evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash , a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force . This update requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets, cash flows or disclosures. ASU 2017-04 In January 2017, the FASB issued issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment. This update simplifies the test for goodwill impairment. The guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which required entities to calculate the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under the new guidance, entities will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount. The guidance must be applied using a prospective approach and is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, balance sheets, cash flows or disclosures.
