Chane terminal Botlek has completed a major upgrade for a leading customer, enhancing the storage, handling, and logistics of base oils.
In a post on LinkedIn, Chane says: ‘At the heart of this improvement is tank pit 16, designed with a clear focus on speed, safety, and efficiency. With 5 new base oil grades, 6 pipelines to the jetties, additional pumps, and an advanced truck loading station, the infrastructure is now fully modernised and ready for the next step. This is especially clear at loading bay 17: license plate recognition, illuminated smart loading arms, and full data access via our terminal management system enable us to load up to 3 trucks at once – faster, smarter, and error-free.’
Remy Kostense, senior improvement engineer at Chane adds: ‘The best part of this project is the teamwork – with both the customer and our colleagues. From design to operation, you can immediately see the difference we make. We involve Chane professionals on site from the start, so they can operate and support everything smoothly. Proud of the collaboration and the enthusiastic feedback from both the customer and our operations team.’
