Our Sustainable Offerings
Circular solutions minimising waste
In the world of liquid cargo transportation, the choice between ISO tank containers and flexibag containers has become a focal point for businesses seeking efficient and sustainable shipping solutions. ISO tank containers offer many advantages compared to their flexibag counterparts.
Track your product carbon footprint
Precise data is a key prerequisite for achieving value chain emission targets. Reducing every product’s carbon footprint therefore starts with identifying which processes produce CO2. Stolt Tank Containers is helping customers achieve this by providing shipment-by-shipment data about transport chain emissions.
Your sustainable transport options
Inland transport doesn’t always need to be by truck. In many places, it can also be done by barge or rail, which have lower emissions. In cases where appropriate infrastructure exists, our logistics experts are always on hand to advise on these more sustainable alternatives.

Creating a more sustainable future
At Stolt Tank Containers, we are committed to:
- ensuring safety for people and the environment
- achieving our business objectives in an ethical, honest and legal manner
- supporting our employees’ success and welfare
In 2023, our sustainability team progressed its Moving towards a Sustainable Future programme, which focuses on three of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: Climate Action, Clean Water and Sanitation, and Responsible Consumption and Production.
Our Commitment
“Stolt Tank Containers has already made great strides towards more environmentally-friendly tank container shipping through the way our cleaning and maintenance depots are operated. They run on renewable energy and recycled wastewater, with their own solar panels and wastewater treatment facilities.
But depots are only a small part of the story. Most carbon emissions generated through tank container shipping come from the transport itself – the services we have to buy in from vendors. This is where much of the difference can be made, and I’m making it my business to find solutions.”
