DataTrack Fuel Systems Ltd working with The Bristol Port Company

Bristol Port has never been busier and DataTrack Fuel Systems have been playing an important part in the expansion of their plant and vehicle fuelling facilities.

With rising fuel prices, installing depot fuelling equipment is a significant decision. For Peter Taylor, engineering manager of The Bristol Port Company, choosing DataTrack fuel management systems has proved to be a solid commercial investment.

After thirteen years of reliable service he can look back with some satisfaction. All of the original equipment is still in daily service, providing fuel security at the pumps and then an analysis of all fuelling activities on a central PC.

Due to expansion, more controllers, pumps and tanks have been brought into service. They now have nine Electronic Padlocks Fuel controllers, across a site of over 2500 acres.
DataTrack remain at the forefront in innovation and the provision of fuelling technology, along with the highest standards of customer care. Fuel costs are simply too high, not to keep fuel safe and fully accountable.

Richard Stubbs, DataTrack’s Managing Director commented:
“We are delighted to have supplied this addition control and fuelling equipment to Bristol Port. Our working relationship has been second to none and the Port is getting the daily benefit of an automated fuel control and management system. We have also seen the spin off benefit of this activity with Bristol Port, in that over the last two years we have had several enquiries from the many supply and distribution companies serving the Port. This has resulted in a number of new installations including the Toyota and Autologic car distribution centres.”

With permission to extend the estate with a new £600m deep sea container port, bringing containers closer to their destination that any other super port, DataTrack Fuel Systems Ltd is looking forward to continuing its solid working relation with the Bristol Port Company, by providing secure, efficient and accountable dispensing of their fuel.

About The Bristol Port Company:

Bristol Port is Britain’s most centrally located deep sea port bringing ships closer to the centre of the UK. This means huge savings in cost and emissions as the inland distributor’s leg is significantly reduced.
Bristol is also the only major UK port with North, South, East and West motorway and rail connections giving high quality, uncongested connections.
Privatised in 1991, Bristol Port remains a privately owned independent business with the entire 2,600 acres of dock estate zoned for industrial use. With a further 1,000 acres adjacent to the Port zoned for development it is not surprising that almost all the major retailers have Regional Distribution Centres nearby. The estate has huge potential for development by businesses from biomass power stations to manufacturers and retailers.
Over £450m has been invested in Bristol since privatisation to create one of the world’s most productive and technically advanced ports providing employment for over 7,600 people.
