Recently, Shanghai SSL Logistics Co., Ltd. (SSL) and global polymer manufacturer Covestro conducted a successful joint emergency drill at the SSL Baoshan facility. The drill focused on four emergency scenarios: chemical leakage, fire, equipment failure, and personnel evacuation, aiming to test and improve the emergency response speed and collaboration between both teams. Several core third-party suppliers, with whom Stolt Tank Containers has collaborated for years, were also invited to participate.
The Covestro team, led by the Head of Integrated Logistics Safety for the Asia-Pacific region, included seven experts in logistics safety and operations. They visited the site to observe the exercise, providing detailed feedback based on their extensive industry experience.
Safety in the Tank Container Business
Safety is crucial in the tank container industry, especially when transporting hazardous chemicals and liquids. Operators must adhere to strict regulations, such as the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code and the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Regular safety drills, like the one conducted between Stolt Tank Containers and Covestro, help prepare teams to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies. Ongoing investment in safety, through well-maintained equipment, proper training, and monitoring systems, minimizes risks and protects both people and the environment.
The Significance of the Exercise
Through this exercise, Covestro and Stolt Tank Containers not only strengthened their cooperation but also enhanced their ability to handle emergencies. Both companies are committed to further deepening their collaboration in 2025, advancing and refining their emergency management systems for long-term development.
