B ULK D ISTRIBUTOR Containers NOT JUST BETTER IN EVERY WAY. THE BEST IN EVERY WAY. Continued from page 3 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. And the winner is… T 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.
