Inspect Factory SpecificationsPositioned less than 10 nautical miles off the main East-West Indian Ocean shipping lane, Sri Lanka represents the primary transshipment nerve center connecting the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
Handling over 7.2 million TEUs annually, Colombo demands certified UN Portable T11 and T14 tank containers for intermediate chemical and hazardous liquid transshipment. As feeder vessels shuttle cargo between Chennai, Tuticorin, Chittagong, and Colombo, depot-ready used tank containers offer an agile, low-capex alternative to new vessel charterings.
The deep-water port of Hambantota is accelerating bonded bunkering, heavy fuel oil (HFO), low-sulfur marine gasoil (LSMGO), and petrochemical storage. Refurbished ISO tanks equipped with steam heating jackets ensure critical fluidity for bitumen, heavy hydrocarbons, and specialty offshore drilling lubricants.
Sri Lanka's premier export commodities—concentrated natural rubber latex from Kalutara, premium virgin coconut oil from the Coconut Triangle (Kurunegala, Puttalam, Gampaha), and liquid tea essences—rely on electropolished 316L stainless steel tanks to prevent hydrolytic degradation and metallic leaching during export.
For logistics managers in Sri Lanka handling bulk liquids across the Biyagama and Katunayake Export Processing Zones, single-use flexitanks and non-reusable steel drums have introduced compounding environmental liabilities, high disposal taxes, and significant rupture risks during maritime rough transit. A certified second-hand 20ft ISO tank container (T11/T14) provides an engineered service life exceeding 25 years.
Our Tianjin manufacturing and refurbishment facility executes systematic 5-year periodic hydrostatic re-testing, thickness ultrasonic gauge testing (UTM), and Bureau Veritas recertification before release. This yields an estimated 42% reduction in per-trip liquid logistics cost over a 36-month timeline compared to single-voyage flexitank configurations, while fully eliminating single-use plastic disposal issues in Colombo ports.
Every used vessel sourced from our factories adheres strictly to international maritime dangerous goods (IMDG), ADR, RID, and CSC regulations, categorized by shell metallurgy, working pressure, and heating equipment.

| T14 UN Portable | Carbon Steel / Rubber Lined | 17,500L – 21,000L | 4.00 bar (Top Discharge) | Optional External Electric Heating | Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, battery electrolytes, water treatment |
| T50 Gas Container | Fine Grain Steel Q370R | 24,000L | 18.0 bar – 22.0 bar | Sunshield + High Density Polyurethane | LPG cylinder filling, propane supply for ceramic kilns in Negombo |
| Heated Bitumen Tank | Corten Steel + Mineral Wool | 20,000L – 27,000L | Atmospheric / Low Pressure | Direct Flame Burner / Thermal Oil | Road construction, asphalt emulsion for RDA highway network expansions |
| Baffle Food-Grade | Electropolished SS316 | 24,000L (Surge Damped) | 2.65 bar (Test: 4.00 bar) | Integrated Glycol Circuit / Steam | High-purity tea polyphenols, edible palm fractions, pharmaceutical intermediates |
From Colombo port storage buffer capacity to regional manufacturing clusters, our certified used ISO tanks eliminate cargo cross-contamination and guarantee thermal integrity.
Sri Lanka's premium glove and retreading tire industries require ammonia-stabilized centrifuged latex to stay within precise viscosity thresholds. Our used T11 units feature food/chemical-grade 316L stainless vessels with top-flight pressure relief valves (Fort Vale / Perolo standard), preventing coagulation during extended tropical wait times at Colombo container depots.
Sri Lanka's nationwide infrastructure modernization demands dependable bitumen supply chains from Hambantota and Sapugaskanda refineries. Our direct-fired and thermal oil heated asphalt tank containers allow contractors to maintain bitumen at 160°C–180°C pumpable temperatures on remote paving sites without fixed asphalt terminal installations.
The export apparel industry centered around Katunayake, Seethawaka, and Biyagama consumes high volumes of textile auxiliaries, hydrogen peroxide, and specialty silicon softeners. Stationary used ISO tank containers function as compact, bunded on-site bulk storage facilities, reducing chemical drum handling accidents and cutting replenishment delivery cycles.
Sri Lanka's strategic location along the international maritime route has seen substantial growth in ship-to-ship and onshore bunkering. Heavy lubricating oils, marine diesel additives, and oily waste management rely on certified heavy-duty ISO tank containers that can easily transition between barge deck handling and shore-side flatbed road transport.
Every used tank container shipped to Sri Lanka undergoes an exhaustive factory recertification process overseen by licensed marine surveyors, ensuring instant port customs clearance and immediate operational deployment.
Precision calibration across the entire cylindrical vessel shell, dished ends, and sump outlets to verify steel thickness exceeds international minimum corrosion tolerances.
Pressurizing the vessel shell to 1.5 times the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) for a minimum of 30 minutes to certify seal tight performance and structural elasticity.
Disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, and repacking of Perolo / Fort Vale foot valves, air inlet ball valves, and safety burst discs with fresh Virgin PTFE / FKM seals.
Chemical decontamination and passivated acid washing of the interior vessel, restoring the chromium oxide passive layer and eliminating pitting, corrosion, and prior cargo memory.
Shot-blasting Corten steel corner posts, top and bottom side rails, and twistlock castings, followed by three-coat zinc-rich epoxy marine finish designed for South Asian salt air.
Independent inspection by Bureau Veritas or Lloyd’s Register surveyors, issuing genuine 2.5 / 5-year periodic inspection certificates and valid CSC safety plates.
Looking for competitive pricing on single units or multi-tank fleet contracts for chemical, latex, or edible oil service? Our maritime engineers review technical drawings, pressure logs, and shipping schedules within 24 hours.
Enhancing refurbished used tank containers with real-time telematics provides Sri Lankan supply chain directors with complete visibility across road, rail, and sea journeys.
Solar-powered non-intrusive sensor arrays track internal tank pressure, ullage levels, and shell temperature during transit across the central highlands and coastal highways, alerting operators to unexpected exothermic reactions.
For high-viscosity oleochemicals and tallow, factory retrofit heating channels allow fast hookup to shore-side steam or electric heating manifolds, decreasing discharge cycle times at Colombo terminals from 14 hours to under 3.5 hours.
Used ISO tanks retrofitted with sanitary internal transverse baffle plates suppress kinetic liquid surge during sudden decelerations, protecting prime movers along winding mountain routes toward Kandy and Nuwara Eliya.
