ISO containers are international intermodal containers that meet the standards specified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Most often, people use ISO containers for hauling heavy loads and palletized products.
ISO Tank containers are dedicated on the transport of bulk liquid products and are built under ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards and designed on a type-of-substance basis, made of stainless steel alloy and surrounded by protective layers.
An ISO tank container is designed with a system of valves on both the top and bottom, ensuring safe and efficient loading and unloading operations. Shaped like a cylinder, it has a capacity ranging from 21,000 to 40,000 liters, making it ideal for transporting liquids.
These tanks are classified based on their construction specifications and the accessories attached, which determine the type of product they can carry. The supporting frame not only protects the tank but also facilitates stowage, securing, and handling, just like a standard ISO container for multimodal transportation. When handled correctly, the frame is engineered to withstand the stresses of a fully loaded container, ensuring durability and safety throughout transit.
A tank container transports liquids, gases, or solids while an ISO tank container adheres to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) dimensions for intermodal compatibility.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) certification is globally recognized as a commitment to maintaining high-quality standards and continuous improvement in all operational areas. For organizations, ISO standards help ensure that business processes meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
When it comes to ISO tank containers, these tanks are manufactured following strict international regulations and must undergo inspection and certification to guarantee compliance. They are designed to meet standardized requirements for size, strength, and durability, ensuring they are fit for their intended purpose.
Each ISO tank comes with a Container Security Certificate (CSC) issued by the manufacturer. Official inspections are conducted every five and 2.5 years to certify that the tank remains in optimal condition according to regulatory standards. Additionally, after every use, ISO tanks undergo thorough inspections to ensure they are in proper transport condition before being reused.
ISO tanks are versatile and can transport a wide range of liquids, both hazardous and non-hazardous. These include:
- Gasoline/Diesel
- Dairy Products
- Liquefied Sugars
- Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Beverages
- Hydrogen Peroxide
- Sulfuric Acid
- Liquid Food Products
- Heating Oil and Vegetable Oils
- Liquid Resins
- Chemicals
- Petrochemicals
ISO tanks are designed to safely carry various types of liquids, including corrosive, flammable, toxic, and explosive substances, as well as food-grade liquids, all while ensuring proper storage and transport conditions.
- Cost-Effectiveness: ISO tank containers can be easily moved between ships, rail, and trucks using standard handling equipment, reducing handling and storage costs.
- Immediate Availability: With ISO tanks located at major ports worldwide, they provide a reliable, safe, and quickly accessible transport option compared to other liquid transport methods.
- Temperature Control: Controlled temperature ISO tanks are equipped to maintain specific temperatures, ensuring the safe transport of temperature-sensitive cargo.
- Reliability: Constructed from stainless steel alloy with natural corrosion resistance and tank linings, ISO tanks are durable and able to withstand pressure and temperature variations.
- Stackable: ISO tanks can be stacked, improving the efficiency of handling and storage.
- Security: Designed to meet strict specifications based on the substance they carry, ISO tanks offer a secure solution for transporting various liquids.
- Environmentally Sustainable: ISO tanks are an eco-friendly transport option, minimizing product handling, leakage risks, and the use of non-reusable packaging such as drums and IBCs. They also reduce waste disposal issues and the safety concerns associated with other liquid transport systems like flexibags.
This container mitigates the risks associated with transferring liquids between vessels and storage facilities, offering an extremely safe, cost-effective, and efficient transport solution. After being emptied, the tank is sent to a certified washing station, where it undergoes thorough cleaning and inspection to prepare it for the next load. While the tanks have a generally uniform external appearance, the construction materials, internal coatings, and fittings can vary depending on the specific requirements of the contents being transported.
