Camin Cargo Expands Its Testing and Inspection Services
Camin Cargo Control Holdings, Inc. ("Camin Cargo"), a prominent global provider of independent testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) services tailored for the energy sector, has formed a strategic alliance with Tankoil Group. This partnership aims to broaden the outreach of their services across North Africa, including key markets such as Egypt, Libya, and Algeria.
Strengthening Regional Operations
Tankoil Group, headquartered in Alexandria, is recognized for its robust expertise in TIC services, equipped with ISO 17025-accredited laboratories that cater to the expanding needs in North Africa and the Middle East. This collaboration will enable Camin Cargo's clients to leverage an integrated approach to petroleum, petrochemical, mineral, metals, agricultural commodities, and solid fuel inspection services throughout the region.
Insights from Leadership
Fernando Assing, the CEO of Camin Cargo, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "North Africa and the Middle East are pivotal in the global energy flow, establishing essential connections to Europe, India, and the Americas. This alliance empowers Camin Cargo to deliver highly coordinated, real-time testing and inspection services in a region that is strategically important, further enhancing our global footprint."
Leveraging Key Resources
One of the core advantages of this alliance is the opportunity to capitalize on Egypt's strategic positioning as a regional energy hub. The Suez Canal, SUMED pipeline, LNG facilities, and increasing refining and petrochemical facilities establish a conducive environment for energy operations.
Focus on Libya and Algeria
The partnership will also strengthen Camin Cargo’s operations in Libya—home to Africa's most extensive oil reserves—and enhance stability and reliability in Algeria’s oil and gas export infrastructure. Together, Camin Cargo and Tankoil Group will also coordinate the provision of testing, inspection, and certification services for petroleum and general cargo shipments extending to Tunisia, Morocco, and Mauritania.
Building Trust Through Collaboration
Neil Chapman, the Vice President of Global Business Development at Camin Cargo, highlighted the importance of the partnership, stating, "Working with Tankoil Group enhances Camin Cargo's coverage in North Africa. By merging our global expertise with Tankoil's regional knowledge and state-of-the-art laboratory resources, we are well-equipped to provide seamless inspection solutions that inspire client trust, consistency, and transparency throughout the Mediterranean trade routes."
Commitment to Global Expansion
This strategic alliance demonstrates Camin Cargo's unwavering commitment to expanding its capabilities worldwide, ensuring clients have access to comprehensive testing, inspection, and certification services in vital trade corridors. Earlier this year, Camin Cargo also initiated the expansion of its load and discharge crude and petroleum inspection services in West Africa through a collaboration with Stewart Inter Sea.
