In the context of the increasing complexity of international energy logistics and the continuous improvement of safety standards, how to store and transport fuel efficiently, safely, and environmentally friendly manner has become a core issue for many energy companies, mining camps, engineering construction, and military units around the world. As an important subsidiary of CIMC Group, CIMC TLC|RYC|XLC has become a leader in the field of Tank Container manufacturing with its technology research and development, manufacturing scale, and global application experience.
What is a Tank Container? Why is it favored by global customers?
Tank Container, also known as “container fuel storage tank” or “container gas station”, is an efficient storage and transportation solution that combines a fuel storage system with a standard container structure. It not only supports multimodal transport and facilitates flexible transportation by road, rail, sea, and other means, but also is far superior to traditional tank trucks and buried tanks in terms of environmental protection, safety, and intelligent management.
Core advantages include:
- Structural standardization: in line with ISO container specifications, can be directly shipped by sea.
- Modular integration: integrated design of refueling system and monitoring system;
- Double-layer structure design: improves leakage prevention ability and is more environmentally friendly.
- Low site requirements: no complex civil engineering is required, ready to use.
- Higher volume ratio: nearly 50% more effective volume than traditional oil tanks.
