What does ISO tank mean in logistics?
Short answer
A stainless-steel tank fitted inside a 20 ft ISO frame, used to carry bulk liquids, liquefied gases or powders, hazardous or not, across sea, rail and road without transferring the contents.
Common for Indian chemical exports and imports. Tank codes specify what each tank may carry, and cleaning certificates between cargoes are standard. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
