Transportation of liquid cargo in Ukraine and Europe

Liquid bulk cargoes are divided into three main groups: petroleum products, chemicals and foodstuffs. Within the first two groups, such cargoes are further subdivided into hazardous and non-hazardous. Hazardous liquid bulk cargoes often include substances that are flammable, corrosive or toxic, as well as liquid gases. These materials require special safety measures during transport.

Here is a detailed list of the types of liquid bulk cargoes in each group:
Petroleum products include: fuels, petroleum oils, petroleum solvents.

Chemicals include: acids, detergents, alkalis, glues, resins, paraffin, liquid latex, concrete admixtures, liquid soap.

Food products include: milk and dairy products, vegetable oil, juices, caramel colours, sauces.

Liquid cargoes, such as chemicals and foodstuffs, are transported in specialised tankers that require special preparation and strict conditions. This process is considered one of the most difficult types of transport due to the need for careful preparation and compliance with specific requirements.

Liquid cargoes are transported using pumps and special hoses, container tanks or tankers to ensure safe transport. The responsibility for safe and proper transport, including storage, lies entirely with the carrier.

Liquid cargoes may include petroleum products such as various fuels, lubricants, liquefied gases, chemicals and foodstuffs in liquid form. The high level of complexity of such transport requires considerable knowledge and experience of the transport and logistics company, as well as a well-established logistics system. Compliance with all requirements and conditions, especially in the transport of dangerous goods and foodstuffs, enables JIT Trans to guarantee a high level of delivery.

Liquid bulk is transported by a truck or semi-trailer equipped with a tank. These vehicles are designed for the transport and short-term storage of liquids, such as petroleum products or foodstuffs, as well as bulk materials and liquefied gases. Tankers can be single or multi-sectional.

Isothermal tanker
This tanker can maintain a stable temperature of the cargo for up to 24 hours after loading.

Tanker for transporting liquid cargo without temperature control
This type of tank is made of metal and is designed to transport liquid materials at positive temperatures. It does not provide temperature stabilisation.

Tanker with independent heating system
These tankers have special equipment that maintains the temperature of the liquid cargo at a constant level throughout the journey.

Tankers for the transport of dangerous liquid goods
These tankers belong to the ADR category and cover classes 1 to 9. They specialise in the transport of dangerous goods according to their cargo codes.

The efficient transport of liquid bulk is vital to the development of many industries, including construction, chemical production, agriculture and the food industry. It is important that all transport is carried out in strict compliance with safety standards, as damage to liquid bulk cargo can have serious environmental consequences.

Over the past 20 years, JIT Trans has provided its customers with reliable logistics solutions for the international transport of liquid bulk cargo. The company uses specialised transport, including standard and isothermal tanks, as well as tanks with autonomous heating systems, which ensure ideal conditions for the safety of goods during transport. This approach allows JIT Trans to guarantee high quality and safety of transport.
