Description
PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
ISO tank containers are a well-proven, versatile and safe method of transporting bulk liquids. Their cylindrical shape and stainless steel tank barrel make ISO tank containers suitable for storing and transporting hazardous and non-hazardous bulk items such as alcohol, cooking oils, diesel, and chemicals.
ISO tank containers can be moved by container ships, rail lines, and trucks. The intermodal design means the liquid they are carrying does not have to be transferred at different stages of the logistic chain as it would with road tankers, tanker vessels or rail cars.
