Tankers 2017
RTN Group excels in 2016 Another growth year for Morrow
2016 was an excellent year for the RTN Group, which saw an increase in
sales in all its respective market sectors, with orders exceptionally strong
for 2017.
The uncertainty of Brexit has already had an impact on prices with
materials and parts increasing between 8 and 15% due to currency
fluctuations and annual increases.
“Looking ahead we will continue to focus on being the market leader
producing the highest quality road tankers in the industry,” said the RTN
Group.
The RTN Group also offers short and long term rigid tanker and
semi-trailer hire at very competitive rates with a large selection of used
tankers always available to view at www.rtnltd.co.uk.
The RTN Group looks forward to welcoming visitors to stand 15 at
FPS EXPO 2017 which takes place in Liverpool on 10-11 May. With both employee numbers and workshop space increasing, 2016
witnessed another growth year for Morrow Tanker Services. The number
of tankers built increased last year and 2017 has already started well
with orders coming in steadily.
2016 also saw a shift in demand back to tankers with a 13,000
litre capacity. In previous years with higher oil prices 7,000-10,000 litre
tankers were the more requested size.
“We believe this can be attributed to the fall in oil prices and the
end of the small and minimum deliveries,” said Jonny Morrow.
“We’re also proud to announce that we’ve recently received
certification from the National Measurements Office. Our business is
now approved for meter self-verification meaning we can calibrate and
seal all tankers that we’re building and repairing.”

A good year at Cobo (UK)
Cobo (UK) enjoyed another good year in 2016 with repeat
business from a number of existing, and clearly satisfied,
customers. Several new and exciting business partnerships also
contributed to this good year.
However, the uncertainty caused by the Brexit vote and its
affect upon the strength of the pound has meant that margins
have been tight.
“Prices must remain competitive with sales and service
back-up being first rate,” said Terry Morgan.
“Our well-established SA-FE range of tankers has been
developed into the latest 030/031 three sections design which
features our SKD chassis and reconfigured ‘swan neck’ section.
“This design offers many advantages in terms of coupling
safety, cargo pump access and maintenance & repair.
“With the associated reduction in life-time operational
costs, it demonstrates Cobo UK’s on-going commitment to
producing high quality, innovative and technically advanced
tankers for the petroleum industry.”
