Long-running innovation partners in the downstream sector, TanQuid and Implico, said they are pleased to announce the completion of “a visionary digitalisation project”.
Implico said: “After intensive planning and implementation work, all processes at the Duisburg tank terminal are now running with the process-oriented terminal management system OpenTAS 6.0.
“In addition, the team uses specialised cloud services from the innovative ‘Supply Chain United’ portfolio. The new IT landscape offers a wide range of benefits: Automated workflows. Expanded service offerings. Comprehensive data collection and evaluation. Paperless processes. Significantly increased flexibility, transparency, and security. And the ability to drive the ongoing energy transition both proactively and sustainably.”
It added: “There is now a sound basis to further build upon and focus even more strongly on the storage and handling of e-fuels.”
The site in Duisburg holds a special position in the network of the leading tank terminal operator TanQuid. One reason for this is the enormous complexity of the facilities and processes. Another is the diversity of the service offer, which meets the demanding needs of a broad clientele from different industries.
A total of 118 tanks hold a wide variety of chemical, petrochemical, alcohol, and mineral oil products as well as biogenic substances and liquefied gases. These are delivered and distributed by all common means of transport (truck, ship, rail, container, pipeline).
Every month, around 3,500 shipments take place in Duisburg – including direct turnovers. The main focus is on the storage and movement of chemicals, which account for around 80 percent of Duisburg’s product volume.
