Liquid cargo transportation
International transport group Transit arranges liquid cargo transportation in tank containers and flexitanks. The choice of technology depends on the product, the shipment volume, the tank preparation requirements, and the delivery route.
Calculate Cost
Two solutions for liquid cargo
Tank containers and flexitanks serve different operational tasks. Before quoting, we compare the product's properties, the transportation conditions, the need for tank preparation, and the delivery chain.
Technology matched to the product
We determine whether a T-11/T-14 tank container or a standard 20-foot container with a flexitank is right for the job.
Tank container preparation
For tank containers, washing, steaming, and preparation for a specific product — chemicals, food products, or oils — are available.
A standard container for a flexitank
The flexitank is installed inside a standard 20-foot container and eliminates the need for a specialized tanker.
A single delivery chain
We arrange transportation, terminal operations, customs clearance, and delivery within a single operational loop.
What cargo we transport
Feasibility of transportation is confirmed based on the product's characteristics, packaging requirements, and the route.
| Category | Product examples |
|---|---|
| Vegetable oils | Transportation in tank containers or flexitanks using the agreed process |
| Food-grade liquids | Wines, juices, milk, and other products — after verifying the transportation conditions |
| Chemical products | Liquid chemical cargoes with the selection of a suitable tank and preparation requirements |
| Export agricultural cargo | Liquid bulk shipments within export and multimodal deliveries |
Types of transportation
The choice of method depends on the product's properties and the operations required before and after transportation.
Flexitanks
The liquid cargo is placed in a single-use flexitank inside a standard 20-foot container.
Standard 20-foot container
Multimodal delivery
A liquid bulk shipment can be integrated into a sea, rail, road, and warehouse logistics chain.
