Säiliöyksiköt

Säiliöyksiköt, commonly known as tank containers or ISO tanks, are standardized intermodal containers designed for the transport of liquids, gases, and bulk solids. They conform to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, ensuring their compatibility with various modes of transport, including ships, trains, and trucks, facilitating seamless global logistics.

These units are typically constructed from stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials, often with an outer protective frame or shell. Their design prioritizes safety and containment, featuring robust construction, pressure relief devices, and secure valve systems. The capacity of säiliöyksiköt varies, but common sizes range from 20,000 to 40,000 liters.

Säiliöyksiköt are utilized across numerous industries for transporting a wide array of products. This includes chemicals, petroleum products, food-grade liquids like edible oils and juices, and gases such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and nitrogen. Their reusability and efficiency in handling bulk cargo make them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional packaging methods.

The handling and maintenance of säiliöyksiköt are subject to strict international regulations to ensure safe transit and prevent environmental contamination. Specialized cleaning procedures are often required between different product loads. The global network of tank container operators and lessors provides services for leasing, maintenance, and repositioning of these vital logistical assets.
