Operail Finland Oy, subsidiary of an international transport and logistics company Operail started cooperation with Oiltanking<\/a> \u2013 one of the largest independent operators of tank terminals for oils, gases, and chemicals worldwide \u2013 to transport liquid fuels on the Vainikkala-Kotka route<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Paul Lukka, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Operail Finland and a member of the Management Board of Operail Group, called this another significant milestone in the short history of the Group\u2019s Finnish operations. \u201cWe are moving forward with giant leaps in Finland and executing our strategy as planned. We are grateful to Oiltanking Finland for the trust they have placed in us, and we will do our best to meet their expectations.\u201d said Lukka, adding that the estimated annual freight volume of the new cooperation exceeds one million tons.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have made history,\u201d commented Merja Porkka, Terminal Manager Mussalo. \u201cA lot of effort went into paving the way for the cooperation between Operail and Oiltanking, including integrating our data communications and organizing full-day safety trainings. Now it feels like we recruited our own employees,\u201d she said with a smile.<\/p>\n

Operail Finland commenced operations in November last year and has more than doubled its headcount since. \u201cAs we expand our operations, we need to make sure we have the necessary workforce. We have managed to rapidly fill all our vacancies,\u201d said Ilkka Sepp\u00e4nen, Managing Director Operail Finland Oy. He added that the company offers more customized and flexible service to its clients, enabling them to increase their productivity. This is a new phenomenon on the market. \u201cWe would like to thank Oiltanking Finland\u2019s experts for their faith and cooperation in developing new operating models with us,\u201d added Sepp\u00e4nen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
