DHL Global Forwarding offers new product for shipping of chemical freight

DHL Flexitank allows shipment of up to 31 per cent more non-hazardous chemical liquid cargo per container
 
DHL Global Forwarding introduces a new product for the shipment of bulk non-hazardous liquids. Particularly designed for the chemicals and beverages industries, the DHL Flexitank overcomes the problems associated with ISO tank containers, IBC totes or drums and offers a more cost effective and environmentally friendly means of transporting liquid products, as the company states. Flexitanks are available globally and customers benefit from DHL’s worldwide network.
 
"Thanks to its flexibility, every inch of container space is available, which allows customers to ship up to 31 percent more cargo compared with IBC totes and drums", DHL informs in a press release. There is also less need for packaging, handling and loading, which in turn increases supply chain effectiveness and thus lowers costs. The range of goods which DHL is able to ship with Flexitanks encompasses various other industries besides chemicals, such as consumer goods (beverages, concentrates), forestry (tall oil), parts of life sciences (enzymes), and energy (bio-fuels).
 
"The manufacturing quality and reliability of flexitanks have improved significantly over the past few years, which is especially useful for our chemical sector customers when shipping goods in vast volumes. It holds up to 24,000 liters and is a multi-layer bladder designed to fit into a standard 20-foot ocean container." says Dominique von Orelli, Ocean Freight Head Europe Middle East Africa, DHL Global Forwarding.
