Download Iso Tank Container
Certified, reusable stainless steel ISO Tank Containers designed for the safe and compliant transportation of bulk liquids across international logistics networks. Suitable for ship, rail, and road transport, our ISO tanks support chemical, food-grade, energy, and industrial gas applications worldwide.
An ISO Tank Container is a pressure-rated stainless steel tank mounted within a standardized ISO frame, engineered for the multimodal transportation of liquids. Unlike drums, IBCs, or flexitanks, ISO tanks are reusable, fully enclosed systems designed to meet international safety and transport regulations.
ISO tank containers are widely used where safety, cargo integrity, and regulatory compliance are critical.
ISO tank containers are the backbone of international bulk liquid logistics. Because they transfer seamlessly between ship, rail, and road without reloading, they reduce cargo handling risk, cut transit costs, and keep products sealed from origin to destination. Below are the primary industries and use cases our customers rely on them for.
The chemical industry depends on ISO tanks for moving solvents, resins, alcohols, and corrosive acids across borders safely and in full regulatory compliance. For hazardous materials, the fully enclosed stainless steel design eliminates leakage risk that open-top or drum-based alternatives carry. Tanks can be configured with 316L stainless steel or specialized alloy linings matched to the specific chemical being transported, and valve layouts are designed to support safe bottom or top discharge at the receiving facility.
Typical cargo: industrial solvents, isocyanates, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, liquid resins, adhesive base materials
Food and beverage producers ship large volumes of liquid ingredients globally — edible oils, fruit juice concentrates, wine, liquid sweeteners, and food additives — all of which require containers that meet strict hygiene standards. Our food-grade ISO tanks are manufactured and cleaned to FDA and EC1935/2004 standards, with polished internal surfaces that prevent contamination and allow full traceability between loads. Dedicated food-grade tanks are never used for chemical cargo, protecting your supply chain integrity.
Typical cargo: palm oil, sunflower oil, grape must, apple juice concentrate, molasses, liquid glucose, flavoring compounds
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and other pressurized gases require containers rated for elevated working pressures and certified for hazardous goods transport under IMDG and ADR codes. Our 40 ft LPG ISO tank containers are engineered to handle these pressure demands, with pressure relief systems, anti-surge baffles, and full documentation for international port clearance. They are widely used by energy traders and regional distributors who need a reliable, reusable alternative to cylinders or dedicated tanker vessels for mid-volume cross-border shipments.
Typical cargo: LPG (propane/butane mix), propylene, butylene
Liquid CO₂ (LCO₂) is used extensively in food carbonation, beverage production, fire suppression systems, welding, and emerging carbon capture applications. Its transport requires insulated tanks with precise pressure control to maintain the liquid phase throughout the journey. Our LCO₂ ISO tank configurations include vacuum-powder insulation and dedicated pressure management valves, ensuring product integrity from filling to delivery — even on long-haul intercontinental routes.
Typical cargo: food-grade liquid CO₂, industrial liquid CO₂, high-purity CO₂ for semiconductor and pharmaceutical use
For industrial gas producers and distributors who operate regional supply networks, ISO tank containers provide a cost-effective way to move liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon between production plants and satellite distribution points. Unlike fixed pipelines, ISO tanks give operators flexibility to respond to demand shifts — routing product to wherever it is needed, without infrastructure investment at every endpoint.
Typical cargo: liquid nitrogen (LIN), liquid oxygen (LOX), liquid argon (LAR)
High-value pharmaceutical intermediates and specialty chemicals often require temperature-controlled or inert-atmosphere transport in small-to-mid volumes. ISO tank containers — with optional insulation, heating coils, and nitrogen blanketing systems — provide the controlled environment these cargoes need, while offering the logistics simplicity of a standard 20 ft container footprint that fits any global shipping network.
Typical cargo: pharmaceutical-grade solvents, active pharmaceutical intermediates (APIs) in liquid form, catalyst solutions
