20' ISO Tank Container

What is a 20' ISO Tank Container?

The 20-foot ISO Tank container (or Tanktainer) is the industry's premier solution for transporting large volumes of liquid cargo, including food-grade fluids, oils, chemicals, and hazardous materials. Consisting of a stainless steel pressure vessel supported by a standard 20-foot ISO frame, tanks provide a significantly safer and more efficient alternative to shipping liquids in drums or intermediate bulk containers (IBCs).

ISO tanks are designed for repeated use and easy cleaning. They feature advanced safety systems, including relief valves, grounding points, and specialized insulation or heating elements for temperature-controlled liquids. By utilizing the maximum allowable dimensions of a 20-foot frame, these units can typically hold between 21,000 and 26,000 liters. The standardization of the frame ensures they are fully compatible with global ship, rail, and road networks, eliminating the need for cargo transfers and minimizing the risk of contamination or leakage during the long-haul transit of liquid assets.
