Paul Voogt, Commercial Director, comments: ´The increasing demand for modern and safe storage of chemicals and liquids prompted us to establish a third Standic terminal. Now, three years later, Standic Antwerpen is fully operational and ready to welcome customers to its expanded facility. With enhanced capacity and cutting-edge infrastructure, we are excellently positioned to provide top-tier services and solutions to our customers in Antwerp and beyond.´

Surpassing our clients’ expectations

The completion of this second phase reflects Standic’s continuous dedication to addressing the evolving needs of its clients and the industry. ´Even as the world around us changes, this new step ensures our commitment to delivering excellence in terminal operations, maintaining the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction´, says Voogt. ´Our entire system, from tank to quay, is specifically designed for its intended purpose. All tanks and lines are constructed from stainless steel, meeting today’s high standards and expectations.´

Accommodation-rate

´Together with the storage options available at Standic Dordrecht, we are now capable of accommodating a significant part of any storage request as of 2024. This comprehensive range of services allows us to confidently say yes to our customers’ needs. By making our current and future facilities optimally suited for circular and renewable products too, we fulfil our goal of working closely with our clients, supporting them throughout their energy transition journey.´

Footprint-conscious

Paul Voogt continues: ´Our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint is evident at our third terminal. We use only green energy, aim to be energy-efficient, reduce emissions, and minimize water and waste. For example, we collect and reuse condensation and rainwater for cleaning activities.´

The future´s bright

´The completion of this second phase is not the end of our ambition to be a sustainable, first-choice European terminal operator. The third and final phase of Standic Antwerpen is planned for 2026, which will add four new tank pits and 60 stainless steel storage tanks. Upon completion, we will have approximately 250,000 m³ of storage capacity for chemicals and circular chemicals. And we’re certainly not stopping there!´

Het bericht Standic provides with new, dedicated storage options for chemicals and circular chemicals in the ARA region verscheen eerst op Standic b.v..

In this phase, we have added 46 state-of-the-art storage tanks, contributing an impressive 85,000 cubic meters of storage capacity. This expansion not only increases our total capacity to 180,000 cubic meters but also allows us to better meet the diverse and growing needs of our clients in the chemical sector.

A key highlight of our new infrastructure is the complete dedication of all lines, pumps, and loading arms from the tank to the quay. Additionally, we have ensured that all tanks and lines are made entirely of stainless steel, which fully meets the requirements and high standards of today’s chemical industry.

Standic would like to extend its gratitude to everyone involved in making this achievement possible. The hard work, dedication, and teamwork of the Standic crew, along with the support from our partners and stakeholders, have been key to the success of this project.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to building on this success and continuing to serve our clients with the highest levels of service and reliability.

Welcome to Standic Antwerpen – where quality, safety, and innovation converge.

Tijdens het ministeriële bedrijfsbezoek, waarbij onder andere ook de Antwerpse schepen voor economie Erika Caluwaert aanwezig was, werd de delegatie welkom geheten door Standic directeur Ronald Ooms en Jacques Vandermeiren, CEO van het Havenbedrijf Antwerpen Bruges.

De bezoekers kregen een rondleiding door de state-of-the-art terminal. Bij het ontwerp van de terminal is nadrukkelijk gekeken naar de efficiency ten behoeve van de klanten, de optimalisatie van de logistiek en naar duurzaamheid. Daarnaast werkt Standic samen met het Havenbedrijf Antwerpen Bruges onder andere op het gebied van logistieke oplossingen: meer mogelijkheden per spoor, en op termijn meer spreiding in tijd van het laden en lossen van trucks

Standic directeur Ooms benadrukte het belang van kwaliteitsbehoud van de hoogwaardige producten van de klant. “Een dedicated infrastructuur is daarvoor het belangrijkst. Dat betekent dat elke tank z’n eigen systemen heeft waardoor een product nooit vermengd en vervuild kan raken.” In Antwerpen is Standic actief in de tankopslag van chemie en specialty chemicals. De haven van Antwerpen is een sterke chemische hub met de vestiging van een groot aantal productie- en distributiebedrijven in Antwerpen. In 2021 is het eerste deel van de Standic terminal in bedrijf genomen met 79 tanks en 93.250 m3. In totaal zal de chemieterminal straks 240.000 m3 opslag hebben.

Raoul has been hired as an external project manager and has been working at the terminal since October 2019. He keeps an eye on the planning and the budget and maintains contact with all contractors who work on the site: about 150 people. “My main task is to ensure that the collaboration between all contractors runs smoothly. I see myself mainly as a people manager to maintain the right atmosphere. For example, suppose a trench is dug unplanned to construct a sewer. Then it may just be that another contractor has more difficulty in accessing the site or has no access at all. We try to solve this as quickly as possible so that as few contractors as possible will be bothered by it. But I certainly am not alone; Johan and Susanne also play a major role in this.”
‘What matters is that we prevent unworkable or unsafe conditions’

As the construction manager, Johan sees to it that the contractors do exactly what has been laid down in the planning. “I have to make sure that the work is done properly and that there are no conflicts that may impact the planning. To give an example: when concrete structures are being built, anchors are cast on which a steel structure is placed. This requires different disciplines and different contractors. I coordinate all those activities so that everything fits together. What matters is that we prevent unworkable or unsafe situations. For example, if people have to work on scaffolding, I will indicate this to Susanne. In this way we complement each other.”

Susanne has been working in Antwerp as a prevention advisor since January 2020. First through an external party, later as a permanent Standic employee. She ensures that everyone on the site does their job safely. In situations where things could go wrong, she points out the risks to people and provides guidance. “For example, many wells and trenches are being dug here, so it is important that this is properly marked and secured. Also, people often work with boom lifts – it’s therefore vital, that they are properly secured when on the job. Nothing should go wrong. Sometimes it is also a matter of knowing but not acting upon it. Think of the safety goggles that are mandatory for everyone on the site.”

Measures during COVID -19

When the pandemic started, a way had to be found quickly to keep everyone working safely. Raoul explains that this has been achieved with a simple but effective ‘Excel system’. “Every week the contractors fill out an Excel document with the planned work for that week: what they are going to do, where and when. Johan imports these files into a tool that automatically generates a fine overview. In this way we ensure that the contractors do not come into each other’s vicinity. That is not only positive from a COVID-19 point of view, but also efficient because everyone can work in their own spot. We have also done everything we can to also make the environment outside the construction site itself as safe as possible. For example, during the first COVID-19 wave, we placed twenty tables and chairs far apart in a large hall for personnel to eat. There are also extra toilet containers on the site.”

Building off-site

The construction of the terminal is progressing very well, not least because a lot of offsite construction is taking place, says Johan: “The tanks, for example, are being built in Noord-Holland and then shipped to Antwerp. Yesterday, there were ten new tanks on two pontoons on the wharf. They were placed in the right spot in four hours with large cranes.”

What certainly did not slow down the speed of the project is the good collaboration and humour, say both Raoul and Susanne. Raoul: “We work very hard and face a lot of challenges, but there is definitely laughter as well. And that brings about the right atmosphere. The relationship with and between the contractors is very good, right from the start of the project. It’s not that there are never any discussions, but in the end, everything gets resolved. We are a good team.”

We are working hard to welcome the first customers at our new chemical storage terminal in Antwerp in Q2 2021. We are happy to give you an update on the construction progress:

• The first 60 of 79 tanks have been installed. These 60 tanks vary in size from 500 m3 to 3,500 m3 in six tank pits. In total we will have completed 8 tank pits in this first phase.
• The first tank pits are expected to be operational by 1 April 2021, the last tank pits will follow later in Q2.
• The associated weighbridges, pipe bridges, pumps and loading arms are also largely in place.

Many existing and also new customers have already indicated that they would like to store their chemical products at our new terminal in 2021. That is good news and a confirmation for us that there is much confidence in our storage and customized services.

Multimodale bereikbaarheid

STANDIC werkt mee aan de duurzame uitbouw van het Antwerpse havenplatform, een speerpunt in het ondernemingsplan van Port of Antwerp. Grote chemietankers kunnen de terminal eenvoudig bereiken dankzij de gunstige diepte van de haven. Naast deze bereikbaarheid over water voor zowel binnen- als zeevaart, is de ligging ook gunstig voor vervoer over het spoor.

De nieuwe STANDIC-terminal versterkt verder de synergie tussen de diverse industriële bedrijven, en draagt zo bij tot meer kostenefficiënte logistieke operaties en processen. Bovendien leent de locatie zich uitstekend tot multimodale ontsluiting, een belangrijke bouwsteen voor de duurzame distributie van chemicaliën.
