Lithium, the lightest of all metals, is one which almost everyone has heard of, but just a portion of people are aware of its modern day importance. To draw an analogy, lithium is to the 4th industrial revolution (the mass digitization which the world is currently undergoing) as steel was to the first industrial revolution. It is an essential component of the rechargeable batteries which keeps the fourth industrial revolution moving.


When we think of the most innovative companies in the world, our mind tends to wander to companies in North America, Europe and Asia. But there’s a world of innovation that exists in the southern hemisphere that we’ve become coded to ignore. Latin America has given the world some of its most enduring innovations, and continues to be a focal point for the world’s most valuable intellectual property.

Industrial waste management is one of the most important chapters of the environmental agenda in developed societies. Industry continues to be the engine driving the global economy, and industrial waste management has a vast impact on the sustainability value chain. In addition, the technological revolution and the digitalisation of society has boosted the presence of new products using hazardous materials. In this context, the management and valorization of these wastes has acquired an enormous relevance that is translated into the development of national and international legislations of obligatory fulfillment.
 

Contributing to the circular economy

Sertego has an operative and logistic network distributed all over the peninsula and islands, which allows it to manage any type of waste in any part of the country. This waste is treated at used oil regeneration plants, and sale of base lubricants, at MARPOL waste treatment plants and sale of fuels and at industrial waste disposal sites (hazardous and non-hazardous). We also develop recovery and recycling treatments at some of our other waste management facilities.
 

We help our clients to be sustainable

At Sertego, we are experts in offering our clients solutions so that they can comply with all legal requirements for managing their waste. Our goal is to convert this waste into recycled products to reintroduce them into the production cycle, convinced that all waste can be recycled.

PENINSULA PETROLEUM

Peninsula was established in Gibraltar in 1996 and is a leading global marine service, storage and supply business. Due to its origins and continued presence in the Strait, Peninsula has built a strong relationship with Algeciras Port which has helped position the Bay as a stalwart for vessels entering or leaving the Mediterranean. Peninsula currently holds the largest storage position in Algeciras Port making it a fully integrated part of its operation. 

 

Algeciras is Spain’s busiest port and a key transhipment hub for the Iberian hinterland. Its strategic position encouraged Peninsula to expand into the Algeciras market in 2013 where it quickly grew into a leading physical supplier. Paired with its global network, Algeciras has enabled Peninsula to offer the best loading options and barge fleet in the area as well as quality supply flexibility.  

 

Active cooperation between different players in the Bay has led to the development of an ecosystem of operators and supply options. Together they have created a world class hub which collectively benefits from developments made by all the individual parties. Recently, Peninsula has introduced a series of upgrades to its fleet including a new build 8,000 dwt supply vessel, and the largest dedicated marine fuel shuttle tanker in the market. These constant upgrades support Peninsula’s Algeciras operation as an integral marine fuel blending, storage and distribution hub servicing key locations such as Barcelona, Malta and Las Palmas. It also helps develop and evolve the Bay area making it a very attractive hub in the Mediterranean.

 

As Peninsula looks beyond bunkering to further develop its services, it has bolstered its physical storage, shipping capabilities and quality control. The company has been implementing a long-term business strategy to develop its offering to meet ever changing client and industry demands. All of this has been done in line with the company’s conservative risk management strategy which has put Peninsula in a very strong position to continue to integrate and offer smart solutions. 

 

Peninsula saw the IMO 2020 low sulphur marine fuel cap as an opportunity, rather than a hurdle, to highlight its exceptional supply chain platform and offer customers comprehensive solutions across multiple locations. For the last year, Peninsula has been successfully supplying VLSFO in Europe, the Americas and Asia to its customer base. Peninsula’s focus on the importance of supply chain control and logistics has seen the group increase its strategic storage positions globally, which today includes almost one million cubic meters of terminal capacity worldwide.

 

Owner and CEO John A. Bassadone said, “The Bay will always take pride of place in Peninsula’s history. Not only is it Peninsula’s original home, it is also mine. Having a strong relationship with the Port of Algeciras has allowed us to create one of the most engaging marine fuel hubs in the world. It is testament to the ports and the operators in the area that Algeciras is best in class when it comes to marine fuel supply and services.”

 

Peninsula’s vision is to lead the marine energy’s transition to a sustainable future. It has already navigated many industry milestones and tailored its strategic direction accordingly to continue its journey of growth to become the leading marine service, storage and supply business globally. Peninsula is in a unique position to proactively identify the signs of change in the industry and the economy and quickly implement pioneering solutions. 

 

Bassadone concludes: “We are incredibly fortunate to have the facilities and structure of Algeciras Port on our doorstep and we look forward to continuing our relationship with the Port Authorities to ensure the continued success and development of the Bay.”

As a landlocked country in the centre of Europe, the Czech Republic has long looked to rail as a means of trade with its neighbours. During the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the country - then known as Bohemia - was responsible for developing first public horse-drawn railway in continental Europe (being built during 1827 – 1832), running gradually between České Budějovice in the southern Bohemia and Linz in Austria.


Few episodes have struck home the importance of ports quite like the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Even as businesses of all manner have closed shop because of government regulation, certain organizations, among them ports, have remained open throughout - underlining their importance to the survival of economies. One such port is the Port of Algeciras in the Bay of Gibraltar - Europe’s closest port to Africa.
