Antwerp has been chosen as the host city for the sixth annual StocExpo Europe conference & exhibition. StocExpo is Europe’s largest event covering oil and petrochemicals storage, handling and distribution markets. 
StocExpo Europe will take place in Antwerp, on 30 March – 1 April 2010 at the Antwerp Expo Centre. Antwerp is one of Europe’s largest petrochemical centres with a number of world class, modern refineries located within the port. The companies in the Antwerp petrochemical cluster are interconnected by more than 100 pipelines that account for 52% of all transport between them and also between the industrial operations and the independent tank storage companies. The port holds more than 3.6 million m“ in independent storage capacity, with over 1,474 storage tanks. For these reasons, Antwerp is a logical choice for hosting StocExpo 2010. 
In 2009, over 2500 attendees heard key industry representatives discussing growth and capacity in the region and looking at the drivers for this increased demand. They also visited the accompanying exhibition, which in 2010 will again showcase the latest advancements in equipment and service provision for the sector, featuring over 200 service providers. This exhibition is FREE to attend for all.
Peter Patterson, Managing Director for StocExpo explains, ‘We are delighted to bring the show and conference to a major hub such as Antwerp not only due to the fact it offers so much in terms of industry contacts and relevance but also because Antwerp is such a vibrant city. Our international exhibitors and visitors appreciate all the city has to offer and this undoubtedly adds to the huge success of the event.’
