Hoyer expands its gas logistics division

Hoyer Group (Hamburg) to invest more than EUR 8 million to acquire 200 gas tank containers
 
The Hamburg-based logistics enterprise Hoyer is massively expanding its global gas logistics business by ordering an additional 200 ultramodern gas tank containers. Its investment amounts to more than EUR 8 million. By the middle of 2013, its fleet of gas tank containers will thus increase to 700 units, consolidating Hoyer’s position as one of the world’s leading service providers in this highly sophisticated market. 
 
The new 20-foot containers feature an empty weight of less than eight tonnes, maximising the available payload capacity. 150 of the gas tank containers are designed for transporting gases liquefied under pressure (such as the refrigerant R-134a, butene, ammonia or propane), whereas 50 will be used for gases liquefied at low temperatures (such as nitrogen, argon, oxygen or nitrous oxide). 
 
The newly built containers will be used primarily to support the growing overseas transport operations at Hoyer’s sites in the Middle East, Russia and China, a business that has developed very favourably in recent months. Customers profit from the fact that Hoyer is able to offer both gas transport services and equipment, all from a single source. 
 
Hoyer is a traditional, independent family enterprise dating back to 1946 and has become one of the world’s leading bulk logistics providers. 5,200 employees in over 80 countries help its customers to become even more successful in their respective markets, with the aid of more than 2,500 trucks, 3,100 trailers, 20,000 IBCs, 27,000 tank containers and numerous logistics sites with depots, washing facilities and workshops.
