ISO Tank Container

Tank containers are used for liquid cargo such as foodstuffs (ie, fruit juices, spirits, sweet oils) and chemicals (ie, hazardous materials, such as fuels, toxic substances, corrosion protection agents).

Tank containers must be at least 80% full, to prevent dangerous surging of the liquids in transit. On the other hand, they must not as a rule be over 95% full, or there will not be sufficient ullage space for thermal expansion
