The best StocExpo yet…

On 14-16 March in Rotterdam, the Tank Storage Magazine team, along with organiser Easyfairs, held the StocExpo conference and exhibition. The leading event brought together a whole host of terminal professionals and industry experts looking to connect with each other and share exciting new innovations.

A YEAR OF FIRSTS

With fresh branding to represent the energy transition and future fuels, this year’s StocExpo kicked off with a terminal tour of Koole Terminals’ leading Tankstorage Botlek facility in the Port of Rotterdam. Led by a representative from the port, a group of VIP delegates were shown around the port and then taken into the Koole facility. It was an exciting opportunity to learn more about how the pioneering terminal is moving towards future fuels and was hugely popular. You can read all about Koole Tankstorage Botlek in Tank Storage Magazine’s interview in the Feb/March edition.

For the first time ever, StocExpo featured two conference streams: The FETSA Tank Storage Conference and the Terminal Operations and Safety Conference. Arguably the best StocExpo ever, this edition of the event was packed with exciting, exclusive content: talks from leading terminal professionals, the debut of exciting new innovative products and an excellent opportunity for the industry to get together and network.

Job van der Kroft, director of new energies at Advario and visitor to the conference says: ‘StocExpo is a great place to see what other organisations are doing and share what we’re up to, especially in new energies. The conference has been a particular highlight.’

On top of networking drinks on the show floor and the Global Tank Storage Awards, StocExpo offered plenty of chances to network, including the delegate lounge, platinum sponsor Honeywell’s Networking Hive and the iTanks Pitchlunch, which also lent the opportunity to businesses to showcase their innovations more intimately. Voliro, for example, exhibited and spoke about its game-changing drone. Chris Udell, head of business development, Voliro, says: ‘Our drone is unique because it can stably touch surfaces at any angle to allow for ultrasound corrosion detection. In America, we’re inundated with interest, so we’re here at StocExpo to make that happen in Europe.’
