Fintan Duffy, Managing Director of Re-Gen Robotics was presented the Outstanding Achievement Award at the 5th Global Tank Storage Awards 2022 which took place in Rotterdam on 24 May 2022.
The prestigious awards highlight those that excel in a range of different categories relating to terminal achievements, equipment innovations, ports, and individual success. The winners are recognised for their excellent contribution to safety, innovation and sustainability in the tank storage sector.
After receiving over 200 entries from across the globe, this year’s judges shortlisted over 80 entrants that were in the running to get their hands on a trophy. The Outstanding Achievement category was open for public vote.
Not only did Mr Duffy receive the most votes from the industry, but he was also recognised by the international jury for his commitment to his role and for his achievements in non-man entry tank cleaning.
On receiving his award Mr Duffy congratulated fellow nominees François Cazor, Co-Founder and CEO at Kpler and Daiva Angeldorff, CEO, Nordic Storage. He said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be honoured with this award and recognised by my industry peers. I am accepting this award on behalf of our very talented team, with people like them by my side, there is very little we can’t achieve.
“Re-Gen Robotics is spearheading the revolution in tank cleaning and our extensive experience in robotic design and delivering an award-winning service, has propelled Re-Gen Robotics far ahead of the competition.
Responding to the rising number of confined space deaths, Fintan assembled a team to design a bespoke robotic cleaning service that eradicated the need for human entry into tanks. He said: “Our team has redefined how the dirtiest most dangerous tanks are cleaned, and we have set a new benchmark for tank cleaning in the sector.”
