The Scottish Aberdeen Harbour announced the arrival of a new marine gasoil fuel tank to the Torry Marine Base. The fuel tank was funded by the logistics firm Peterson, reflecting the firm’s commitment to the Harbour as the long-term supply hub for the North Sea.
The 4,000 m3 tank doubled the port’s marine gas oil storage capacity.
The tank was build in a purpose built production facility in Rotterdam and was shipped to the city to be installed.
