Beyond the Standard Box
Not all cargo can be transported in a standard container. Chemicals, food-grade liquids, hazardous materials, or oversized units require specialized equipment and expert handling to ensure safety and compliance. When your cargo has specific requirements, the right equipment is a strategic advantage.
Options at a Glance
- ISO Tanks: These are a safe and reusable solution for transporting bulk liquids. They require strict adherence to cleanliness and certification standards.
- Flexitanks: A cost-effective alternative for shipping non-hazardous bulk liquids in a standard 20-foot container.
- Flat Racks/Open Tops: These are ideal for machinery and oversized (OOG) units that don’t fit into a standard container.
- NVOCC Services: A Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) can provide greater space control, more flexible routings, and access to niche ports, offering a more tailored solution than a direct ocean carrier.
How UTradeShipping De-risks
Managing specialized cargo comes with specific challenges. Our approach is designed to mitigate risk at every stage:
- We vet depots to ensure ISO tanks meet the highest standards of cleanliness and pass all necessary testing.
- We conduct a thorough MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) review to ensure full regulatory compliance.
- We create detailed lash and securing plans for oversized (OOG) cargo and pre-book any necessary cranes or escorts.
