Tank Containers

The inside of the tank container is made of stainless steel, surrounded by a protective and insulating layer. The capacity of a tank container can vary from 14,000 to 27,000 litres. As with the shipping container, common dimensions are 20ft and 40ft. 

Tank containers can also be divided into types. A silo tank, for example, is used for grains and powders and a reefer tank to keep the contents cool. There is also a multi-compartment tank, with one or two partitions, allowing different types of goods to be stored in one tank.
