 BENEFITS
OF USING THEM
Global
trade continues to demand increasing volumes of bulk liquid movements. Tank
containers are a safe method of transportation of hazardous cargo.
Benefits of
leasing Intermodal tank containers are:
- Provision of a door to door service by any
combination of ship, train and truck.
- Low transportation rates because of their
standardised modular construction and portability.
- Minimal handling offering flexibility of
movement.
- Leasing helps keep costs parallel to
production in a logistical world of ‘just in time’.
- Internationally regulated they
are durable and safe.
- They can be cleaned easily, are
reusable time and time again and provide secure storage.
- Storage of drums are
expensive and less safe option.
- Cost effective – In one standard
Tanktainer you can ship 21 tons as apposed
to 15 tons when cargo is containerised in drums.
- Due to increased environmental
pressures tank containers are a preferable option to drums as the latter are:
- Prone to handling damage and cross-contamination. Difficult to clean and
disposals are costly.
- Filling is time consuming and there is a risk of spillage
