May 31, 2011 [CLH] - The CLH Group has announced an eight-year contract with the National Oil Reserves Agency (NORA) of Ireland for the storage of 60,000 cubic metres of gasoline.

CLH long-term service offers the possibility to deliver and withdraw the product at any of the fitted out points in its logistics system. Product quality is always guaranteed through periodic product analysis, product refreshment and the use of satellite controlled operations and real-time information.
