The International Tank Container Organisation (ITCO) will offer three specialist presentations at the Transport Logistic 2009 event May 12-15, 2009, in Munich, Germany. Two of the papers highlight recent studies which bring together a wide range of established knowledge to explain why tank containers are the safest, most reliable and efficient means of transporting bulk liquids, powders and gases. The third presentation will describe how tank containers have a lower ‘carbon footprint’ than alternative forms of transport.

ITCO will once again have its own Tank Container Village within the large Transport Logistic Exhibition at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre this coming May. The Special Tank Container Seminar at which the three ITCO presentations will be made will take place May 13-14 in a conference room adjacent to the Tank Village.

The three presentations are:

• “Safe Handling of Tank Containers” by Bill Brassington of ETS Consulting.

• “Raising the Profile of Tank Containers with Deepsea Shipping Lines” by Dave Dawson.

• “The Environmental Impact of Tank Containers Compared to Alternative Forms of Transport” by Alan Braithwaite of LCP Consulting.
