We diversify and separate liquid cargo transportation method into three segments:

Tank сontainers  Flexitanks  IBC/Drums

Tank Containers:

A normal tank container consists of, a frame (ISO standard) and barrel, equipped with different devices like a thermometer, pressure and loading valves. It is suitable both for gravity and pressure discharge methods. For some products special modifications of the tank containers are needed.

 

Container capacity: 21000 - 26000 litres for 20' containers and up to 33000 litres for 23' containers;

  • Weight of product differs depending on its specific gravity (kg per litre ratio);
  • Filled minimum is up to 80 % according to the safety regulations of the transportation;
  • Suitable both for harmless and dangerous products;
  • Equipped with steam heating (used normally in ports and during unloading);

 

Tanks with electrical heating, to maintain a constant temperature, can only be used at sea and for road transportation and normally this is impossible by rail. We have several depots and arrangements in all the ports and points of the world where there is the possibility of internal cleaning and preheating if necessary. 

Flexitank:

 

These are special pieces of equipment - with a multilayer bag capacity of 21 - 25000 litres designed for the transportation of harmless liquid products. A flexitank is installed inside a standard 20' container before the loading by our professionals. Then the product is pumped into it. We provide flexitanks with installation for regular deliveries exactly where you need it. 

 

Flexitanks are usually filled up to 24-25 tons in order to keep within the maximum pressure  limits allowed on the side walls of a 20' container. Flexitanks are suitable ONLY for HARMLESS (not dangerous) products. 

 

It is single-time bag used for a one-way trip. After unloading it is easily dismounted and disposed of. In a folded state it is about 0,25 m3 and weighs 60kg; Flexitanks work very well for deliveries by sea and truck. At the same time it is not recommended for deliveries by railway, as the rear walls can be damaged by heavy shaking or from sudden stops during train manoeuvres. Due to this transportation by rail is only at the customers own risk.

 

We provide high-quality flexitanks certified and insured by the respective authorities. Our flexitanks are accepted for use by the majority of the largest manufacturers in the world. 

IBC/Drums:

 

Intermediate Bulk Containers are reusable industrial containers designed for the transportation and storage of bulk liquid and granular substances (e.g. chemicals, food ingredients, solvents, pharmaceuticals, etc.).
