Tank Storage Magazine

What Tank Storage Magazine does

Tank Storage Magazine is a privately held B2B trade publication covering the global bulk liquid storage sector, operated by Woodcote Media Ltd and headquartered in Morden, Surrey, United Kingdom. Founded in 2005, the company operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees and serves as the official publication for StocExpo, the flagship international trade exhibition for the tank storage industry. Its core products include a digital and print magazine, the Tank Talk video series, a categorized news feed (Terminal News, Technical News, Partner News, Market Trends), a Supplier Directory, a free newsletter, and event coverage across ILTA, TSA, FETSA, Gastech, and StocExpo.

The underlying technology is a standard WordPress-based digital publishing platform integrated with Vimeo and YouTube for video hosting, RSS feed distribution, and email newsletter delivery. The publication generates revenue through two primary streams: advertising and sponsorships from industrial suppliers and terminal operators, and magazine subscriptions supplemented by a free qualified-circulation model for industry professionals. Geographic reach is global, with editorial coverage spanning the UK, continental Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa, and on-site reporting from major industry conferences in Houston and Europe.

The customer base is dual-sided: terminal operators and storage sector professionals consume editorial content, while equipment suppliers and service providers (Protego, LARCO, VEGA, Toptech Systems, ABB, Gerotto Robotics) purchase advertising and sponsorships. The publication addresses information asymmetry in the bulk liquid storage sector by providing daily news, technical features, regulatory updates, and industry analysis through website, print magazine, newsletter, video, and social media channels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; free copy requests are available for qualified industry professionals, with paid subscriptions offered through the website shop.

Direct peers

• Hydrocarbon Processing: Hydrocarbon Processing is a long-established B2B trade magazine for the hydrocarbon processing industry, covering refining, petrochemical, and gas processing/LNG technologies. It serves a similar audience of terminal operators, EPC firms, and instrumentation suppliers with print, digital, events (HPI Awards), and newsletters — a structural peer in trade publishing model.
• Pipeline & Gas Journal: Pipeline & Gas Journal is a B2B trade magazine covering oil, gas, and products pipelines worldwide, with overlap in midstream infrastructure, terminal operations, and storage. Its audience of pipeline operators, terminal operators, and midstream technology suppliers overlaps materially with Tank Storage Magazine's readership.
• LNG Industry: LNG Industry is a B2B trade magazine and digital publication covering the global LNG supply chain — closely overlapping with Tank Storage Magazine's LNG/regasification/terminal coverage. Both target terminal operators, EPC contractors, and LNG equipment suppliers via a print + digital + video + newsletter format and event partnerships, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Hazardous Cargo Bulletin: Hazardous Cargo Bulletin is a B2B trade magazine covering the safe storage, handling, and transport of hazardous bulk liquids and chemicals — directly overlapping with Tank Storage Magazine's coverage of chemical and petrochemical terminal operations. Both target industrial safety, regulatory, and tank operations professionals.
• Bunkerspot: Bunkerspot is a B2B trade publication covering the marine bunker fuel industry, including bunker storage terminals, ports, and tank farm operators. It serves a closely adjacent audience of bulk liquid storage operators in the maritime fuels sector with a similar trade publishing model.

Broad incumbents

• Oil & Gas Journal: Oil & Gas Journal is the largest established B2B trade publication covering the global oil and gas industry, including upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. It overlaps with Tank Storage Magazine in midstream/terminal coverage but operates at a much broader industry scale with a wider advertiser base and more diversified content portfolio.
• ICIS: ICIS is a major chemical and energy market intelligence provider covering petrochemicals, refined products, and LNG with pricing, news, and analytics. It overlaps with Tank Storage Magazine's chemical and LNG storage audience but competes at the data/intelligence layer rather than as a trade publication, and represents the direction a digital-first trade publisher might evolve toward.
• Petroleum Economist: Petroleum Economist is a long-running B2B trade publication providing analysis of global energy markets, policy, and infrastructure including LNG, refining, and storage. It serves a similar senior executive audience to Tank Storage Magazine but at a broader macroeconomic and policy layer rather than operational tank terminal focus.
• S&P Global Commodity Insights (Platts): S&P Global Commodity Insights (formerly Platts) is the dominant energy and commodities intelligence platform providing benchmark pricing, news, and analytics for oil, gas, LNG, petrochemicals, and refined products. It overlaps with Tank Storage Magazine's terminal operator and trader audience but operates at vastly greater scale as a paid intelligence service rather than trade advertising-supported publication.
• Chemical Week: Chemical Week is an established B2B trade publication serving the global chemical industry, with significant overlap in chemical storage, terminal operations, and logistics coverage. It targets a similar chemical operator and supplier audience but at the broader chemical-industry scale rather than dedicated tank terminal focus.
