What Influences ISO Tank Container Cost?
ISO tank containers – also known as intermodal tank containers – facilitate the safe and efficient transportation of bulk liquids, gases, and hazardous and non-hazardous materials. They are constructed from durable materials like stainless steel and often feature insulation, heating, or cooling systems to handle specific cargo requirements.
Popular in industries such as chemicals, oil and gas, and food and beverage, ISO Tank Containers enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and meet necessary safety requirements for shipping bulk liquids.
Factors that Influence the Price of ISO Tank Containers
New or Used
The largest impact on price will be whether your business requires new or used ISO container tanks. For larger orders with various timeline needs, the answer is often both. Additionally, used ISO tank containers are in high demand – similar to the used car market – so new tank containers might offer a better value.
Tank Condition
For used tank containers, one of the largest factors in pricing will be whether it is immediately serviceable or not. For it to be accepted by a shipping line, which transports containers to their destination, it must be certified and pressure tested. Tanks that are not serviceable immediately will likely require repairs, testing, and certification, which will add to the budget and extend your timeline for usage.
Size, Design, and Usage Specifications
Standard ISO tanks (20,000 to 26,000 liters) for non-hazardous liquids are generally less expensive compared to larger tanks or specialized tanks designed and certified for hazardous materials. Customizations, such as heating systems or specialized coatings also add to the cost.
Location
New and used ISO tanks are available around the world. The location and logistics required – which Quantum Tanks will help you with – will impact the cost and timeline of your purchase.
Global Supply and Demand
The demand for ISO tanks has been growing, especially in emerging markets with expanding chemical and food production industries. Conversely, supply chain constraints, including manufacturing delays or shipping disruptions, can lead to higher prices due to limited availability.
IMO Regulatory Compliance
Ready-to-use ISO tanks meet stringent safety and environmental standards as part of the certification process. For instance, tanks designed for hazardous materials must adhere to strict international and regional regulations, increasing their price compared to tanks for non-hazardous goods. ISO tank containers must be certified every 2.5 and 5 years.
