goods with regard to their pressure, temperature,
filling level and density parameters. A non-invasive
filling level measuring system developed
exclusively for Hoyer solves a large number of
technical challenges. Full ATEX certification for all
the components completes the range of services.
Customers can access data, together with the
transport order information, on a web platform
that includes automatic monitoring and an alert if
there are any discrepancies. Of the 37,000 tank
containers in the Hoyer fleet, 5,000 have already
been upgraded, and around 8,000 a year will
follow in each of the next few years.
In a separate move, Hoyer has appointed new
management for its Kombi Terminal Schkopau
(KTSK) in Saxony-Anhalt, Eastern Germany. Felix
Bossmeyer together with Tom Krützfeldt took on
the task with effect from 1 March.
By appointing its new management duo, the
company says it shows its confidence in two
proven Hoyer managers with many years of
experience in senior positions.
Bossmeyer can build on more than 20 years with
May/June 2017
the logistics specialist, for which he has already
worked at the Hamburg, São Paulo and Rotterdam
locations. He has held the position of director
supply chain solutions (SCS) Europe since 2016.
Krützfeldt started his career with Hoyer in 2003,
and has worked in various functions in the
transport area since then. He has been head of
operations Europe at SCS since 2012. Bossmeyer
and Krützfeldt took over the management from
Ulrich Grätz, global director supply chain solutions,
in the context of a planned succession.
The KTSK, situated on an area of 54,000 sqm
between Leipzig and Halle, was brought into
operation in 2005 and considerably enlarged in
2016. It guarantees rail and road links between
Rotterdam and Germany’s major seaports and
inland ports, and handles traffic throughout
Europe. It can process up to 110,000 cargo-
handling operations a year as a result of the rail
track lengthening and installation of a second
container portal crane last year.

rifleet Leasing has announced the winners of its Photo Contest 2017.
First prize was awarded to Anand Singh, from EFC Logistics India Pvt Ltd, and second prize went to
Douglas Tadeau Aby Saber from Deposit of Tank Containers Cesari Ltda, Brazil.
This is the second time that Trifleet has organised the competition, and for this edition the company
asked for original photos of Trifleet tank containers that reflected the theme: ‘Excellent Tanks Need
Committed People’.
The winning photo – with a cash prize of €2,000 – was shot by Anand Singh, showing a depot worker
cleaning a Trifleet tank at sunset. As runner-up, Douglas Tadeu Aby Saber wins a cash prize of €1,000
with his photo depicting depot workers inspecting several Trifleet tank containers, which are reflected in
a body of water.
The jury selected the two photos from a total of 10 that had made it into the final. These top 10 had
been chosen by Trifleet LinkedIn followers where a pre-selection of all entries had been posted.
“The winning shot from India is a truly stunning, yet still very natural photo that provides a realistic
impression of working at a depot,” explained Emma Ardley-Batt, one of the Trifleet Photo Contest Jury.
“The second-prize winner from Brazil delivered a very professional, artistic photo and an impressive view
of numerous Trifleet tank containers, perfectly fitting the theme ‘Excellent Tanks Need Committed
People’,” added Philip van Rooijen, Trifleet Photo Contest Jury member, and managing director of Trifleet
Leasing.
