Why Tank Containers?

Every day more companies discover the benefits of tank containers for their bulk liquid transportation needs.

Compared with the cumbersome handling of traditional drums, tanks are simple to transport saving time, labour and expenses.

  • They are efficient, carrying more cargo in less space.
  • There is greater security.
  • Shippers have more flexibility.
  • Environment friendly.
  • Meet latest environmental requirements

Are these tank containers multifunctional?

By design, tank containers can be carried on ships, barges, rail cars, trucks or any combination, from point of origin to final destination.

Product moves door to door, JUST IN TIME, in the same container.

Tank containers eliminate losses associated with multiple handlings, reduce your transportation cost per ton. Eliminate drum purchasing, storage, labour and disposal.

Advanced tank design and top-grade materials prevent cargo contamination and loss, and avoid spills and leakage.

What is the volume capabilities of these containers?

Even in cases where drumming facilities already exist, a long term plan to introduce tank container will always yield steadily increasing labour savings and minimize plan investment, while maximizing productivity.

A 20-foot tank container will hold 18,000-25,000 litres, while a dry box container of the same proportions can absorb only 72-80 drums, or 15,000-16,500 litres.

Distribution via tank container is often 20 to 40 % less expensive than by drums.

A fair comparison includes the cost of drums, the volumetric efficiency of tank container, the high labour costs of handling drums, the reduced clingage loss in tank container, as well as drum cleaning or disposal cost. Add to this the greater risk of leakage and spillage associated with drums and tank containers look better and better.

What are the various kinds of tank containers available?

Since the product being transported has priority, suitability of the tank with the product is a must. You do not transport wine in the same tank as Isopropilamine; you do not transport butane in the same tank as ethanol, you do not transport sorbitol in the same tank as Acrylonitrile.
