Councillor Cerro: "On March 19th, the Cisternese exodus, an event of historical and cultural significance. I propose considering this commemoration also from an #economic and commercial perspective, strengthening the bond between #Cisterna and the #twinned city #FortSmith." Strengthening the twinning with #FortSmith in the #UnitedStates and developing a commercial network with the United States are central objectives that we intend to pursue, fully exploiting the existing historical connection. Cisterna, with its significant potential as an #industrial and #commercial #hub, could benefit even more from this partnership. The heroic figure of #Sergeant #Antholak, who sacrificed his life for our liberation, constitutes a fundamental point of connection. However, beyond this tragic episode, many other elements unite us, such as the export of distinctive products like Cisterna's #Kiwi, reaching the United States and other global markets. Renowned brands like #Findus and #Gelit, headquartered in Cisterna, have been exporting successfully to the #USA for years. It is crucial to further intensify this historical and commercial bond. Past administrations, led by Gianni Salis during the twinning with Fort Smith, and the current Administration, led by Mayor Mantini, where I hold the position of councillor in charge of industrial development, share the same determination. The story of Sergeant Antholak and all those who sacrificed their lives in Cisterna during World War II can now represent a strong element of unity. Soon, on March 19th, we will celebrate the Cisternese exodus, an event of historical and cultural significance. I propose considering this commemoration also from an economic and commercial perspective, strengthening the ties between our artisanal and industrial hub and the United States, particularly with Fort Smith. We must invest in our #international #relationships, supporting businesses in their processes of internationalization. To this end, it is essential to consider access to dedicated grants and funding that can facilitate and support this path.

It has been a year since IOR's Lytton Terminal was officially opened. This site underwent a significant transformation, transitioning from a crude oil facility to an import facility. The primary objectives behind this conversion were to enhance loading efficiency and ensure fuel security for Queensland.    Internally, the site was repurposed by converting a 50 million-litre crude oil storage tank into a diesel clean product storage facility. An additional 20 million-litre tank and a 40 million-litre tank was added, resulting in a total site capacity of 110 million litres. Furthermore, the newly constructed 4-bay gantry has the capability to load B-doubles, with future provisions for loading AB-triples—an infrastructure feature unique to Queensland.   Working closely with iOR, icubed consulting provided Design Management, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Environmental and Risk Assessment, Hazard Reporting, and Mechanical Engineering for the new site operations.   See iOR’s original media release here: https://lnkd.in/ex3WXhEs Rohan McElroy Rod Larkin Travis Smith #design #civilengineering #infrastructure #structuralengineering
