In a few minutes, the flexitank equipment can transform a 20” container into a tank. Each flexitank, depending on its properties, can be loaded with bulk liquid cargos, either foodstuff or chemicals (Non-IMO Class). This is a most innovative and cost-effective way of transforming a 20″ container into a tank.
Please, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to visit you and provide you with all the details.
Many commodities need to be heated to be properly discharged.
The specially designed steam heating pads, fit under the flexitank to evenly reheat the cargo before unloading. This heater pad allows liquids that have a low melting point and can solidify when subjected to low temperatures, to be discharged using either steam or hot water as a heat source. (Electric heater pads available on request.)
We have many years of experience in beverage transportation and operation of flexitanks.
Flexitank advantages…
Wine is the only liquid in the world expected to withstand the rigours of transport as well as the scrutiny of discerning oenologists.
During transit it’s tossed on seas and rattled on railroads in blistering heat and freezing cold. Protecting its journey from vineyard to glass is a challenge but years of research perfected the taint free solution
Depending on the size of the flexitank, from 16,000 to 24,000 liters. However, each flexitank has its own volumetric rate indicated by the manufacturer. Any compliance failure associated with this parameter can cause serious damage.

Flexitanks are special equipment. This means that special attention is needed to all stages of the flexitank usage, from manufacturing, fitting into the container and loading, to unloading and disposal. Therefore, not all flexitank brands are the same nor can all flexitank operators, provide the same services. We are so confident in our products and services that we will urge you to ask the carriers (shipping lines), about the quality we deliver to our customers.
Container specification and condition are very important when completing a successful flexitank transport and should conform to the following criteria.
Container should be an "upgraded" 20-foot ISO dry van unit with 30000 kg gross weight load capacity and not more than 5 years of age. Container should have:
Container Selection
The following criterion applies when accepting a container that is to be used in a flexitank shipment.
Containers should be rejected if:
Shipments with flexitanks, can be insured with special insurance contracts. The value of such contracts is invaluable because you can rest assured that your company;s activities will continue smoothly, even with unfortunate events for which you are not responsible or you cannot predict..
No. Flexitanks are made for one use only
Flexitanks beside their high functionality and efficiency, offer multiple benefits.
A fairly significant benefit is the protection of the environment and compliance with laws on environmental protection.
The maximum security which the Flexitank provides (when it is used by experienced operators and experts) and the integrated management of transport volume, which as experts we are able to offer to our customers, protect the environment and comply with local laws.
Α. Compliance with the law
Under Greek law – l.2939/01 – each importer is required to manage the packaging of goods received in order not to pollute the environment or to minimize the pollution caused by this packaging.
NEST examining closely the needs of its clientele, takes care of its clientele, applying the relevant applicable law in all import/export cases.
Β. Enviromental protection
NEST is sensitive to issues of environmental management.
In each import-export action that we undertake, we propose the activation of procedures and instruments to minimize pollution.
The use of flexitanks reduces the need for other means of transport, thus saving resources and reducing pollution.
All products classified as hazardous by IMO are not suitable to be loaded into flexitanks. Additionally, all products which need temperature control cannot be loaded into flexitanks.
Flexitanks are a superior alternative to ISO containers, Drums & IBC’s. Shipping in bulk using flexitanks offers environmental & economical benefits such as:
