Transport and logistics company “Neolit Logistics” has been engaged in domestic and international cargo transportation by rail for more than 15 years. One of the directions of this type of activity is railway transportation of liquid cargoes.
Transportation of liquid cargoes by rail transport in tank cars is rightly considered to be one of the most complicated types of cargo transportation. This is explained by the strict requirements for compliance with the conditions of movement of the cargo itself, and to the containers in which it will be during transportation. It should not be forgotten that most of the substances transported by rail tank cars belong to the group of chemically aggressive and flammable products or are explosive goods.
At the same time, the high popularity of cargo delivery by rail is caused by the following advantages:
Branched network of railroads provides the performance of cargo delivery even to the most remote regions not only in Ukraine, but also abroad.
Favorable level of tariffs for freight transportation.
Ability to send products in large volumes in one batch.
High speed of delivery.
Movement of trains is carried out on schedule. The risk of delay on the way due to negative climatic conditions is much less than that of automobile, sea or air transportation.
If you need transportation of any type of liquid cargo by rail tank cars, we recommend you to use transportation and logistics services of Neolit Logistics. You can order both delivery of one or several rail tank cars for loading at a particular station and turnkey liquid cargo delivery service.
Peculiarities of liquid cargo transportation by railroad
Transport and logistics company “Neolit Logistics” has the necessary experience and capabilities to organize the transportation of liquid cargoes of various types and composition by rail. Rail tank car transportation is especially profitable when it is necessary to ensure delivery of a batch of cargo in a large volume. In addition, transportation by rail is widely used by companies and organizations to organize stable supplies at any time of the year.
Two main criteria are distinctive for liquid cargoes – liquid consistency of the substance and complete absence of containers. Transported products by cargo class are divided into the following types:
Food.
Petroleum products.
Chemical products.
For their transportation rail tank cars of different types are used, differing in design and purpose:
Universal steel tanks having one shell.
With shadow protection.
With or without thermal insulation.
With electric or steam heating.
The tank is equipped with a heated cover.
With the possibility of applying a protective layer on the inner surface of the tank.
In a separate group should be allocated dangerous goods, the transportation of which should be carried out exclusively in full compliance with applicable standards. Bulk substances of this category can only be transported by trucking companies with a duly issued license. Railway tank cars designed for dangerous goods have special coloring and special warning inscriptions and markings on the outer surface.
The following types of tank cars are used today for transportation of liquid cargo by rail – on the basis of a cargo platform and tank containers.
Standard rail tank cars
The nomenclature of railway freight rolling stock includes tank cars of different volume and load capacity, which ranges from 30 to 120 tons. Depending on this, the platform for rail tank cars can have two, four or eight axles.
Transportation of cargoes by rail tank cars has the following characteristic features:
Bulk cargo can be transported in a universal or in a special tank car. The choice of freight car depends on the category of cargo. As a rule, universal tanks are used for gasoline, diesel fuel, oil and other types of liquid substances. Special tanks are designed for viscous and solidifying in normal conditions petroleum products, for acids, alcohols, liquefied gas, etc.
Before pouring a new load into the tank, the tank must be cleaned. If necessary, it undergoes a disinfection procedure and is also treated inside with appropriate protective compositions. In case of transportation of food liquids, the protective coating is made with solutions acceptable for this purpose.
To select a rail tank car, it is necessary to know the exact information about the type and nature of the cargo, as well as the conditions of its transportation. If it is a perishable or temperature sensitive product, it is necessary to use tank cars that can provide the required temperature regime.
When transporting perishable liquids, the route is selected so that the travel time is as short as possible. The train schedule allows to deliver the liquid cargo transported in the tank to the destination point without delay.
Transportation of liquid cargo by rail in a tank container
In recent years, rail transportation of liquid cargo in special tank containers has become increasingly popular. Such a container for transportation is a container enclosed in a rectangular metal frame, the front and rear end frame of which has corner fittings at the top and bottom. Thanks to this design tank-container is easily fixed, as on a railway platform, and on a car trailer container truck or on a specialized cargo ship.
Features of rail transportation of tank containers:
Optimal option for delivery of liquid cargoes with a volume from 12 to 35 thousand liters.
Depending on the type of cargo, you can order a tank-container for food products, for liquefied gas, for chemical solutions and petroleum products.
Tanks are completed with fittings and equipment for draining, temperature control systems and other auxiliary functions.
A railway station (loading or unloading point) may not have special equipment for filling or unloading a railroad tank. The tank-container is unloaded/loaded on the platform by means of a conventional crane. In addition, the frame design allows them to be stored in several rows.
This type of container is an ideal option for the organization of multimodal transportation of liquid cargo.
