Specialized Containers & Calculation Tools

Turning "Unshippable" into Shippable: Custom-engineered ISO tanks for cryogenic, heat-sensitive, high-viscosity, and corrosive liquids.

Custom Engineering

Tailored Tanks for Demanding Liquid Cargoes

Liquids come in myriad chemical formulations, each with unique viscosities, crystallization temperatures, corrosive potentials, and hazard profiles. Selecting the exact container configuration is critical to achieving safe, compliant, and cost-effective transportation.

UCL is uniquely equipped not only to supply standardized general chemical tanks, but to custom-engineer, alter, and commission specialized ISO containers in direct partnership with leading international manufacturers.

Furthermore, backed by strong relationships with major financial institutions, UCL offers customers attractive short-term and long-term lease packages for specialized equipment, mitigating capital expenditure.

Cargoes Requiring Specialized Containers:

  • Acidic & Highly Corrosive Chemicals
  • Flammable Solvents & Hydrocarbons
  • Fresh Milk & Hygiene-Sensitive Dairy
  • Viscous Resins & Polymers
  • High-Vapor-Pressure Volatile Liquids
  • Pressurized Gases & Cryogenics
  • Food-Grade Edible Oils & Juices
  • Dry Bulk Powders & Granules
