A MAMMOTH EDITION

LONGSTANDING SUBSCRIBERS of TankStorageMagazine will know that our Feb/March issue is the one to look out for. Packed with our usual exclusive interviews, it’s the biggest edition of the year, with our StocExpo Preview taking centre-stage.

This issue, we’ve got all the quality content you’ve come to expect from TankStorage Magazine. Our in-house journalist, Molly Cooper, recently took a trip to Vesta Terminal Antwerp to see how Smartflow’s Digital ISGOTT solution had helped the facility become more efficient. You can read her exclusive interview with them on page 38. Koole Tankstorage Botlek allowed us behind the scenes of their Rotterdam terminal – you can read all about how they are leading the way towards sustainable fuels on page 34.

And speaking of future fuels, this is a key factor at both the StocExpo conference and in TankStorageMagazine’s editorial direction. We still intend to serve our readers in the oil and gas storage sector, but the energy transition waits for no one. To that end, we’ve collected some excellent think-pieces from Mark Waddington at Channoil Energy, who is also chairing StocExpo (page 46) and from the CCUS project Porthos (page 48).

Alongside this, we’ve got exclusive articles on hydrogen storage (page 54), future fuels (page 88), all while looking at the best way to reduce your tank terminal’s impact via vapour recovery and emissions control (page 70).

Flick to the back (page 82) and you’ll find exclusive StocExpo content, including a whole host of articles written by conference sponsors. From the latest in renewable fuels and digitalisation tactics to innovative explosion-proof lighting and everything in-between, this sneak peek aims to give you a small insight into the experts we’ll have on board at the event.

So don’t miss your last chance to bag tickets to the leading tank storage event of the year!

And if, like me, you’re chronically online, you may have caught the latest Tank Talk webinar with experts from Hydrogenious and Uniper, all about hydrogen’s role in the energy transition. Our next webinar will be streaming after StocExpo, so if you have a topic or product you’d like to talk about (and that other readers want to hear about) get in touch with me to make it happen.

You can catch me live and in-person at StocExpo in Rotterdam on 14-16 March so please do come and say hello! On day one, I’ll be chairing the Women in Tanks panel, so for tips on hiring a diverse workforce, come and sit in on that session. Following that, there will be a networking drinks reception – so another opportunity to chat. I hope to see lots of you there!

Best wishes,
