Van den Bosch adds 500 new tank containers

Nov. 11, 2015

Van den Bosch Transporten expands its container fleet with 500 new 20-foot ISO tank containers. The first 50 tank containers will be placed in service before the end of November.

The new tank containers will be used for the transport of liquid bulk products between Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. As of September, these activities are coordinated from the new van den Bosch Transporten office in Dubai.

The Van den Bosch tank container fleet has grown considerably as a result of the growing demand for intermodal transport solutions. The logistics service provider currently operates 4,000 bulk containers for the transport of liquid and dry bulk products.

The new 20-ft tank containers have a capacity of 26,000 litres. The choice for this type of tank container was made because of the possibility to realize optimized payloads. Further the insulated tank containers have product heating capabilities.

The new tank containers are being manufactured by Welfit Oddy in South Africa. This production location is well-situated for Van den Bosch as the number of transports from South Africa is increasing rapidly.
