FETSA Supplier Briefing 07/25
Future-Proofing Tank Terminals in a New European Landscape
2025 presents a defining opportunity for the tank storage sector. As Europe reconfigures its energy and security architecture, tank terminals are now recognized as strategic enablers of resilience, continuity, and transition. In this pivotal moment, FETSA’s role and visibility are stronger than ever, and suppliers must rise to the occasion.
At Gizil, we are proud to contribute with our Virtual Plant: a scalable, engineering-first digital platform designed specifically for the unique challenges of tank terminals. While traditional digital twin solutions are often costly, IT-heavy, and slow to deploy, Virtual Plant offers a practical, fast, and affordable alternative.
We build interactive digital replicas of terminal infrastructure using laser scans and engineering documents (P&IDs, data sheets, plot plans, etc.). Within weeks, terminal operators, asset integrity teams, HSE, and even executive leadership gain access to a shared, intuitive 3D environment that supports:
- Operator training and knowledge transfer in high-risk, aging facilities
- Audit-readiness and compliance with real-time asset visibility
- Safe expansion and repurpose through better planning and data access
- Remote inspections and virtual collaboration across functions and geographies
We are supporting forward-thinking terminals scale digitalization step by step by starting small and proving ROI early. As infrastructure investment accelerates and the pressure to decarbonize increases, digital clarity is essential. Our Virtual Plant helps terminals not only manage today but also prepare for tomorrow’s strategic role in Europe’s energy and defense future.
