Whilst hocem continuously works on its performance, due to increasing demand, we had to make necessary adjustments in our logistical setup to keep a satisfactory efficiency towards our customers in both the export and the retail market.

Since 3rd quarter 2008 we have additional storage capacities at LBC Terminal Antwerp, Belgium. LBC is a highly sophisticated storage with heatable tanks, well experienced in the handling of base- and luboils including latest loading facilities for trucks and rail tank cars directly on the vessel and by means of using a fully implemented computer system ensures timely loadings.

We are operating, supply and distribute the full product range at following terminals:

• Antwerp Belgium
• Eastham UK
• Liepaja Latvia
• Tallinn Estonia and
• Reni Ukraine.

With these storage capacities we are able to keep a high flow of base oil throughput in line for our clients demands.

During the last year hocem strengthened its market position and further developed its strategy, efficiency and portfolio.

In April 2007 we opened a sales office in France. Our Director Sales and Logistics Mr. Olivier Laigle is available for requests and product information under office-france@hocem.de.

We are pleased to announce that we entered into a cooperation with company Transnational Blenders B.V. / Gulf Oil Nederland B.V. in Dordrecht.

Starting from 1st January 2008 we are storing our goods at the tank terminal of TNB in Dordrecht. We are acting as supplier of TNB and organizing the supply of our own customers from there. The cooperation with TNB enables us to offer you an upgraded service, prices in the line with the market, advantageous storage of the goods and access to excellent terminal facilities.

Additionally hocem rented new storage capacities at terminal “UkrChem” in Reni, Ukraine and can offer you regular supplies from our shore tanks from terminals in

• Tallinn, Estonia
• Eastham, UK
• Dordrecht, The Netherlands
• Antwerp, Belgium

In 2008 our activities will again be focused on the purchase and the sale of high-class goods. Please get in contact with us at our hocem Meeting Point or via E-Mail office@hocem.de for making an appointment if you are interested in our portfolio.
