What does Tanker mean in logistics?
Short answer
A truck or trailer with a tank body for carrying liquids or gases in bulk. Tanks are built for specific products, pressures and hazard classes.
Petroleum tankers need PESO licences under the Petroleum Rules, 2002, and gas tankers approval under the Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 2016. Hazardous loads follow CMVR Rules 129 to 137. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
