What is a Flexitank?

A Flexitank is a flexible, single-use container made of a durable and watertight material that is used to transport non-hazardous liquids in bulk. Flexitanks are designed to fit inside standard 20-foot containers, effectively converting them into bulk liquid carriers. They offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional shipping methods for liquid cargo, such as oils, beverages, chemicals, and food-grade products.  

 

Flexitanks are easy to install and remove, allowing for efficient loading and unloading of liquid cargo. They provide a secure and hygienic means of transporting liquids while minimizing the risk of contamination and spillage during transit.
