Definition
What is a tank container?
La famille citerne répond aux besoins liés aux liquides. Elle impose un cadrage plus technique qu’un conteneur Dry, car le produit stocké ou transporté conditionne la solution.
Le choix dépend de la nature du liquide, de la compatibilité de la cuve, des contraintes de site et des documents nécessaires. Ces éléments doivent être vérifiés avant devis.
La citerne n’est pas un format générique. National Conteneur chiffre ce type de projet à partir de l’usage réel et des contraintes de sécurité.

In detail
What is a new 20ft Tank shipping container?
The 20ft Tank container is a shipping container fitted with an integrated steel tank. It carries liquids or gases "in bulk"; that is, unpackaged, directly in the tank, with no drums or cans. The "first-trip" designation refers to a new unit, which has made only a single positioning journey before being put up for sale: tank never filled, original valves and seals.
The tank offers a usable capacity of 26,000 liters for 32,580 kg of payload. It is housed in a Corten steel box, a self-weathering steel that resists marine corrosion on its own, in the standard ISO format. Loading is from the top, unloading from the bottom, and pressure gauges monitor pressure and fill level.

These dimensions describe the container envelope. Door movements, connections and servicing may require additional space around the unit.
The unloading area depends on the vehicle and lifting method. It must be assessed separately from the container’s final position.

Read the dimensions guideLe choix de l’état
Premier voyage ou occasion ?
L’aspect attendu, l’usage et le budget orientent le choix. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé avant de vous décider.
Premier voyage : quel état ?
Un conteneur premier voyage est une unité récemment fabriquée qui a effectué un trajet maritime de positionnement. Son aspect est généralement proche du neuf, mais de petites marques de transport ou de manutention restent possibles.
C’est une option à privilégier pour une installation visible, un aménagement soigné ou un projet où l’état initial compte particulièrement. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé.
Occasion : pour quels usages ?
Un conteneur d’occasion a déjà servi au transport maritime. Les bosses, les reprises de peinture, la corrosion et les réparations varient d’une unité à l’autre : l’appellation seule ne décrit pas son état réel.
Pour le stockage, le chantier ou un usage technique, une occasion contrôlée peut répondre au besoin avec un budget initial plus contenu. Distinguez les traces d’usage acceptables des défauts qui affectent la structure, la fermeture des portes ou l’étanchéité.
Que vérifier avant l’achat ?
- Structure : déformations importantes, trous, corrosion perforante, état du châssis et des coins ISO.
- Portes et joints : ouverture, fermeture, fonctionnement des barres de verrouillage et continuité des joints.
- Plancher et étanchéité : zones molles, réparations inadaptées et entrées de lumière anormales, hors ventilation prévue.
Pour un transport maritime international, faites aussi confirmer la validité CSC et l’aptitude de l’unité au transport prévu. La plaque ne remplace pas l’examen du conteneur.
Budget : que faut-il comparer ?
À format comparable, l’occasion est généralement moins chère à l’achat. Vérifiez aussi ce que le devis inclut : le conteneur, le transport et le déchargement sur votre site.
À format identique, les dimensions nominales restent les mêmes ; la tare et la charge utile se vérifient sur les plaques. Pour un frigorifique, un Open Side ou un conteneur équipé, contrôlez aussi les équipements décisifs pour votre usage : groupe froid, portes ou installations.
In detail
What products can be transported in a Tank container?
The Tank container carries three main categories of bulk liquids: food products (vegetable oils, wines, juices, syrups), chemical products (solvents, lubricants, additives), and certain industrial gases. The tank avoids any intermediate packaging and any transshipment between modes of transport.

Transporting hazardous materials is governed by two regulations. ADR, the European agreement on the international carriage of dangerous goods by road, governs road journeys. IMDG, the International Maritime Dangerous Goods code, governs sea journeys. A Tank container can comply with these standards depending on the tank's configuration and the material transported.
