Tank Container
Our Tank Container Service
We offer a service focused on the complete management of the tank container, from route planning to delivery at the destination. This includes logistics coordination, safe handling, leak-proof controls, and documentation traceability for every operation. We pay special attention to intermodal operations and Short Sea Shipping in the Mediterranean, focusing on the connection between Spain and Italy.
Routes and Coverage
- National coverage: regular routes throughout Spain via our land transport network.
- Intermodal Spain-Italy: management of operations on Short Sea Shipping lines to optimize time and costs between Mediterranean ports.
- Operational flexibility: solutions for occasional, scheduled, or integrated routes within international logistics chains.
Capabilities and Equipment
- Certified tank containers for the transport of non-hazardous liquids and, when appropriate, according to client specifications and applicable regulations.
- Fleet and handling: container-handling equipment adapted for tanks, with trained operators in lifting, stowage, and safety control.
- Maintenance and control: periodic inspection procedures, leak tests, and intervention records to ensure operability and compliance.
Safety, Quality, and Regulatory Compliance
Transporting liquids requires special controls. At GORGORI we apply:
- Occupational safety protocols specific to tank handling.
- Leak tests and valve checks before and after each transport.
- Documentation and traceability including load, unload, inspection, and maintenance records.
- Compliance with national and international regulations applicable to tank container transport.
Intermodal Integration and Short Sea Shipping
As intermodal transport specialists, we design solutions combining road, rail, and sea transport to optimize costs and times:
- Short Sea Shipping: using current short sea lines in the Mediterranean to connect Spanish and Italian ports, reducing transshipments and port times.
- Terminal coordination: direct management with terminals to streamline stays, inspections, and loading/unloading.
- Timeline optimization: planning that minimizes waiting times and maximizes equipment rotation.
