ISO CONTAINERS 

​

ISO containers are an integral part of the intermodal transportation system, allowing goods to be efficiently moved across various modes of transportation, such as ships, trucks, and trains, without the need for unloading and reloading during the journey. This seamless transfer of cargo ensures faster delivery, reduced handling costs, and increased overall safety.

 

Shipping liquefied natural gas (LNG) in ISO containers has emerged as a practical and efficient solution in the transportation of this valuable energy resource. ISO containers, commonly used for transporting various goods, have been adapted to meet the unique requirements of LNG shipping.

​

This innovative approach offers several advantages:
 

1. Speed: LNG shipping in ISO containers provides a faster and more agile method compared to traditional LNG carriers or pipelines. The containers can be easily loaded onto trucks, trains, or ships, allowing for quick and flexible transportation to various destinations, including remote or challenging locations.
    

2. Affordability: Building and maintaining large-scale LNG infrastructure, such as LNG terminals and carriers, can be a costly endeavor. ISO containers offer a cost-effective alternative as they require lower initial investment and can utilize existing transportation networks more efficiently.
    

3. Storage: The containers act as self-contained storage units, which means that LNG can be stored at the destination without the need for specialized storage facilities. ISO containers have the advantage of offering high LNG hold time inside the cryogenic tanks.
