Gasco Energy meets latest quality and safety standards GASCO Energy Limited, a com- pany operating in the unloading, storage and filling of LPG gas in cylinders and road tankers, has raised its own bar on quality and safety by meeting the requirements of ISO 9001, which certification also covers its cylinder testing and refurbishment operations. Gasco Energy is contracted to fill and to test the green and yellow LPG cyl- inders for Liquigas Malta. Gasco Energy was formally audit- ed by SGS Italia, a leader in inspec- tion and certification services, and found to meet the stringent quality standard attributed to ISO 9001 certification. Among the activi- ties audited were the filling, test- ing and maintenance of cylinders, specialised handling of bulk gases as well as cylinder delivery. While receiving the ISO 9001cer- tificate from Paul Parnis, the Mal- ta branch manager of SGS Italia Spa, Paul Agius Delicata, CEO of Gasco Energy Limited, said, "This certification shows the continu- ous commitment undertaken by Gasco Energy to meet and exceed the highest standards in industry and to deliver unsurpassed service to our customers. Furthermore, it emphasises our ongoing dedica- tion to exceed industry standards in all stages of our operation." He also thanked Ing Francis Farrugia for his consulting advice. Based in Bengħisa, Gasco Energy operates a fully certified gas bot- tling and storage facility with an investment of €20 million, which has more than doubled the LPG storage facilities in Malta. This facility has secured a continuous, adequate supply of liquefied pe- troleum gas at all times to cater for present and future requirements of the Maltese market. Fully respecting the EU stringent criteria as established in the Seveso II Directives, the modern storage and bottling plant was inaugu- rated in November 2012. As from 1 February 2009, Liquigas Malta - the other company in the Gasco Consortium - became responsible for gas distribution in cylinders, in bulk and also autogas, for the first time in Malta.
