says, “There is a lot in the air for the bulk liquid storage sector right now. With environmental changes, and an ever-shifting political and regulatory environment, on top of new technologies in robotics and digitalisation, it’s a time of great change for the industry. “The conference at StocExpo 2022 has been carefully curated to explore and address all of these issues, one by one, to help companies plan for the future and improve their present-day operations, so the industry as a whole can move forward into the rest of the 20s with confidence. We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone in March.”
