Leading experts will speak about the current challenges, opportunities for growth and detailed analysis from the past year in the tank storage industry and how to anticipate the year to come.

For instance, Urs Beckmann, COO, at TanQuid GmbH & Co. KG will explore the:

• major players and game plans
• supply chain levelling
• core service level elements
• the outlook on future relationships

Few could argue that the financing of tank terminal projects is a critical issue, so providing more information on this will be Lars Sörensen, Senior Vice President, at HSH Nordbank. He will look at the key factors including financial structure, due diligence, underlying market dynamics and explain the variety in documentation.

Building on this theme will be Bert van der Toorn, MD, Head of O&G, LNG and Petchem EMEA, ING Commercial Banking, presenting ‘ING’s experience in financing tank storage’; and Jay Reynolds, Chief Commercial Officer, at Zenith Energy Management who will be explaining exactly what investors look out for in a terminal.

Broadening discussions to the development of a gas terminal within an existing infrastructure will be Hans Grossmann, Managing Director, at GOC Engineering. He will specifically focus on the hazards and risks when working on a pre-existing site, what the operational aspects are and the advantages and disadvantages of these sites.
