What does Bulk liquid transport mean in logistics?
Short answer
Movement of liquids such as edible oils, chemicals, fuels, milk or solvents in tankers, ISO tanks or flexitanks rather than in drums or packages. Tank material, cleaning, compatibility with the previous load and hazard class all govern what can be carried.
Petroleum and many chemicals need PESO-licensed tankers and trained drivers, while food liquids need food-grade, clean tanks. Shippers should ask for the last three cargoes carried and a wash certificate. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
