The benefits of Flexitanks
 |
Reduced Shipping
Costs |
The Flexitank is a
one-way cost system. After discharge, the Flexitank is refolded to 2% of its loaded
capacity and returned as LCL cargo.
 |
Less labour and
handling |
Costs are further reduced by achieving higher
payloads and less handling than with drums with the added advantage of no disposal
problems.
 |
Just in time |
Parcel Tank
shipments require costly storage and handling facilities and tie up cash in stock.
Flexitanks facilitate 'just in time' purchasing and can
deliver from shipper to end-user directly.
 |
Dedicated
equipment |
Our Flexitanks are dedicated to product types. This
allows us to service each Flexitank to suit the product, thereby avoiding the risk of
contamination.
