John Paul Broeders, Chairman of the Executive Board of Koninklijke Vopak N.V. (Royal Vopak):
“Our Excellence & Growth strategy is producing good results. I’m proud of the way Vopak’s employees are carrying out the improvements. We are seeing the demand for storage capacity growing globally because of more use of oil products and chemicals, and through an increase in the demand for biofuels. Vopak is responding to this demand by creating more storage capacity. Over 1,6 million cbm additional storage capacity is currently under construction at various locations around the world. In 2007 and 2008 this capacity will gradually be commissioned bringing the total capacity in the Vopak network up to 22.5 million cbm.”
