Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ISO tank container?

An ISO tank container is a cylindrical stainless-steel tank built inside a standardized intermodal frame, typically 20 feet long, so it can move by truck, rail, or ocean vessel. ISO tanks are commonly used for bulk liquids, food-grade products, chemicals, gases, and regulated commodities. Their standardized frame allows efficient drayage, port handling, chassis movement, and multimodal transfers.
