The advantages of Liquid Logistics are:
(i) Large Shipping Capacity: The ISO tank has a large capacity ranging from 5,000 to 11,000 gallons and, for a long time, has been the ideal way of bulk liquid transportation.
(ii) Cost-Effective: The transportation should be reliable with trained professionals handling the entire operation, proper sanitation and sterilisation procedures need to be followed, all industry regulations need to be met, and the vehicles and tankers/ containers need to be reliable.
(iii) Makes Loading/Unloading Faster: Liquid logistics uses specialised material handling that moves liquid products through a supply chain.
(iv) Requires Less Labour: Mostly Liquid handling is by Hose and Pipelines. Very less labour force is required to handle liquid logistics.
(v) No Cleaning Cost in Case of Flexitanks: You do not have to clean them up after they are unloaded, as it occurs in the case of tank containers. This further helps to reduce costs.
(vi) No Additional Storage is Required: Flexitanks storage containers do not require a forklift to load or unload. This makes the entire loading and unloading process faster.
(vii) Eco-Friendly: This is a fundamental component of eco-friendly systems because it helps businesses lower the usage of renewable resources.
(viii) Easy Availability: Very efficient liquid logistics services are easily available with a dedicated team of liquid logistics professionals.
