Bulk Liquid Cargo Transportation and Logistics
Utilization of Flexitank Shipping
This is a revolution in the logistics of non-hazardous liquids. We install special multi-layer liners into standard 20-foot containers. Flexitank shipping allows you to load up to 24,000 liters of product (30-40% more than drums) and save on return logistics, as the liner is recycled after unloading.
Tank Container Transport (ISO Tanks)
For aggressive chemicals and hazardous loads, we use ISO tanks. These are stainless steel cisterns enclosed in a rigid frame. They are ideal for multimodal transport, as they are easily transferred from truck to rail platform or vessel without pumping the product itself.
Road Tankers and ADR
For “last mile” delivery or direct runs from Europe via road freight, we deploy road tankers. Our fleet includes sectioned tanks, insulated thermal tanks, and specialized cisterns for the transportation of dangerous goods complying with ADR regulations.
Food Safety Compliance
The transport of food liquids (oils, juices) is carried out exclusively in containers designated for food products. We verify EFTCO standards and cleanliness certificates after tank washing to eliminate foreign odors and impurities.
How Liquid Bulk Shipping Is Organized
Working with liquids requires precise technical preparation:
1. MSDS analysis
We study the Material Safety Data Sheet to select the right equipment (chemical resistance, density, pour point).
2. Equipment Prep
Installation of the Flexitank (Fitting) or provision of a clean ISO tank.
3. Loading
Control of the filling process, use of pumping equipment and valves, followed by sealing.
4. Transit
Delivery with temperature monitoring (if required) and final customs clearance.
Industry Solutions
We strictly separate food and chemical product flows to guarantee quality.
Agro-Industrial Sector
Exports of vegetable oils, molasses, and juice concentrates are most cost-effective via sea freight using Flexitanks. This is “one-way” logistics: the client receives the cargo, and the packaging goes to recycling. We ensure the supply of Food Grade containers.
Chemical Industry
For solvents, additives, and base oils, ISO tank logistics or road tankers are used. If the cargo requires temperature maintenance (e.g., paraffin or bitumen), we utilize cisterns with steam jackets or autonomous heating, similar to temperature-controlled cargo technology.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which is better: Drums or Flexitanks?
For non-hazardous goods, bulk liquid transport in a Flexitank is always more profitable. You do not pay for the weight of the iron/plastic drums, you save on loading labor, and you utilize 95% of the container’s useful volume.
Do you transport dangerous goods in tank containers?
Yes, we specialize in delivering chemicals of classes 3, 6, 8, and 9. All equipment undergoes regular testing and is approved for international transit.
Is tank cleaning required after unloading?
Usually, cleaning is included in the freight rate or paid by the consignee. We organize washing at certified stations with the issuance of a European Cleaning Document (ECD).
Liquid Logistics in Focus
Our professional approach and the quality of completed projects are a great foundation for long-term and productive cooperation.
Liquid Logistics in Focus
Maximized Payload: The photo shows the installation of a Flexitank in a shipping container. The multi-layer polymer liner turns a standard “box” into a hermetic cistern with a 24-ton capacity.
Liquid Logistics in Focus
Strength and Versatility: Tank container transport (ISO Tanks) allows for combining road, rail, and sea transport without the risk of leakage. Ideal for complex chemicals.
