Tank terminal industry meets at StocExpo Europe 2017
StocExpo Europe 2017, a key international event for the tank terminal industry, celebrated a triumphant return to Rotterdam (Netherland) last month.
StocExpo Europe launched the inaugural Tank Storage Awards and unveiled a brand-new conference format, gaining 8% increase in visitor numbers since the 2016 edition in Antwerp.
“By every measure, we had our most successful show to date. We increased visitor numbers, featured over 200 internationally renowned suppliers, hosted over 16 hours of educational content in our revamped conference programme, and had nearly two thirds of exhibitors rebook for next year,” Nick Powell, Divisional Director for the Easyfairs StocExpo &Tank Storage Portfolio.
All sessions at the show started with ‘speed networking’ between industry peers. On top of this it featured seven expert panel sessions, hosting over 30 speakers from oil majors, tank terminals and financial institutions.
At the first Global Tank Storage Awards ceremony Loadtec Engineered Systems took home ‘Best Technology Provider’, LBC Cepsa won ‘Most Efficient Storage Terminal’; ‘Individual Achievement’ went to Ellen Ruhotas, Managing Director at Ratio Group, and Elios by Flyability was crowned ‘Most Innovative Technology’.
The next StocExpo Europe will take place at the Ahoy Rotterdam on 20-22 March 2018.
