The increasingly popular tank container provides shippers and manufacturers with maximum flexibility and security whether transporting food products or chemicals.
The 25,000 litre SeaTank from SeaAxis is an insulated, steam heated, single compartment unit. It ensures maximum climate control during transit or whilst awaiting discharge. The tank is made from SANS 50028-7 Type1.4402/1.4404 cold rolled 2B finish stainless steel, with a4.4mm thick shell and 4.7mm thick ends, including a0.2mm corrosion allowance.
Each tank container will be inspected and certified by the Independent Inspection Authority in accordance with the regulatory requirements.
Transportation by tank containers provides additional safety when moving volatile or hazardous cargoes, ensuring stability of the product during transit as well as greater cost effectiveness over long distances. The tank container market is growing by around 6.2% per annum and utilisation of tanks offers a more secure alternative to drums or flexi bags. Tanks also provide economies of scale as they carry larger quantities of product and their longer working life make them a ‘greener’ option to alternatives.
