Odyssey, Trecora in managed services deal
Odyssey Logistics & Technology Corporation has signed a
multi-year managed logistics service agreement with
global petrochemical products manufacturer Trecora
Resources.
Trecora initially entered into a supply chain consulting agreement
with Odyssey to evaluate logistics costs in tank container shipments,
liquid bulk truck and rail operations. This agreement provided
benchmarking data on Trecora’s operations, distribution network,
infrastructure and offered key metrics such as total spend, vendor
costs and productivity performance.
“Trecora manufactures high-purity specialty petrochemicals and
synthetic waxes. The quality of our products and the integrity of our
supply chain are critically important to our customers,” said Patrick
D Quarles, president, CEO and director of Trecora. “Together with
Odyssey, we aim to maintain our performance profile at a lower cost
by seamlessly integrating Odyssey’s technologies into our business
without disruptions to service. We look forward to continuing our
work together with Odyssey to drive further improvements and
long-term value for Trecora, our customers and shareholders.”
Odyssey president and CEO Bob Shellman the logistics firm’s
supply chain engineers spent two months aligning with Trecora on
its efforts to achieve continuous process improvements and cost
savings.
“Through our technology and efficiency roadmap, Trecora will use
a full suite of data analytics and reporting tools to create cost
transparency and performance enhancements,” Shellman
commented.
Trecora’s principal business activities are manufacturing various
specialty petrochemical products and synthetic waxes and the
provision of custom processing services. It will leverage Odyssey’s
Managed Logistics Services to optimise all aspects of Trecora’s
transport management strategy and execution. This includes
Odyssey’s supplier network and a team of supply chain engineers to
drive cost savings, shipment visibility, data reporting, continuous
improvements and sustainability developments.

Methanol tank solution
Den Hartogh Logistics recently provided a supply chain
solution in collaboration with Helm Proman Methanol to
deliver a specialised tank container of methanol to the SAL
Heavy Lift vessel ‘Trina’.
The tank was delivered to Port of Hamburg where it was lifted
onto the deck using special purpose brackets, securing the tank
safely during the journey of the vessel.
Once emptied, Den Hartogh will swap the tank for a full one;
anywhere where the vessel might be at that particular time.
The methanol is injected with hydrogen into the air intake via a
simple retrofit designed and fitted by Fuelsave – Green Technology
GmbH.
Methanol is an environmentally friendly and sustainable fuel
source that is also useable for bunker purposes and the Fuelsave
technology achieves valuable net fuel savings and lower emissions.
