Innovation
The new on-line system, which will be operating by the summer of 2009, will allow electronic ordering together with website access to your account through password controlled entry.
For those companies with multi-site requirements you will also be able to access account details, proofs of delivery and copy invoices through your individual secure access. Customers will have the choice of individual invoices for each delivery or one invoice at the end of the month for all transactions. This will remove much of the paper used in hard format thus aiding the environment and allowing us to change our invoice production.
Our newest tanker which has been added to the fleet has been nominated for 'Tanker of the Year 2009'.
