Vado Tank Cleaning’s new site in Italy

Vado Tank Cleaning has opened a new facility located in the north of Italy, next to the under construction APM Terminal in Vado Ligure (Savona). The site is able to clean, heat, store, maintain and test ISO Tank Containers and swap bodies tanks.

In this joint venture depot, Stolt Tank Containers and Marenzana Spa combine years of experience in the tank container and intermodal transport business in one depot that is optimised to work as efficient and safe as possible, raising the bar for tank cleaning in Northern Italy.

The design of the new depot was based on the example of the Stolt Tank Containers Depot in Moerdijk (the Netherlands), which has been operating successfully for the last three years. The depot not only allows for high quality cleaning, but its heating facilities also make it possible to heat tanks 24/7.

With Marenzana’s experience in the trucking business of bulk liquid chemicals throughout Europe, Vado Tank Cleaning was able to optimise their procedures with the ambition to get trucks in and out as quickly as possible, taking into account that time is valuable for their customers.

Vado Tank Cleaning is committed to ensure Safety for people and the environment, which is why a lot of thought went into the water and air treatment procedures as well. The water treatment plan is identical to the one that is used in Moerdijk, keeping strict standards for the water that is disposed to make sure the impact on the environment is minimalized. Moreover, Vado Tank Cleaning treat air emissions directly from inside the tank with a highly qualified air scrubber and active carbons filters, for guaranteeing the best air quality to the local population and their workers.

The depot will get soon integrated certification ISO 9000-18000-14000, it will be SQAS assessed next October and will issue ECDs as from January 2018 as per Italian ALCI (Eftco) rules.
