STORAGE & HOSES
Defence POL logistics is mainly based on operating and maintaining ground tanks of various capacities: easily transportable (rubber bladders), more fixed (larger bolted tanks easy to assembly) or permanent (high capacity tanks, mainly on national territory) to deliver fuel and other oil products to the Armed Forces (vehicles, assault tanks, aircraft, ships).
As a necessary complement to these capacities, a various set of hoses are needed as well in the permanent fuel depots as in the forward tactical deployments in land operations and on the logistics Navy ships.
The GILEP companies have a long experience in providing these key equipments.
