On the road to sustainable terminals
It is Vopak’s intention to be leading in its line of business in terms of the sustainability of its operations. Vopak’s emphasis is on safety, health and the environment and forms the distinguishing factor for its customers and results in a new generation of design requirements for its new terminals. Closed tank roof constructions, vapour return systems and vapour recovery items, impermeable flooring and leak detection systems are now standard for all new development activities. A study into a possible future and emission-free ‘green terminal’ has started under the project name ‘Terminalling in the future’.
