They are now widely available in sizes ranging from 10,000 to 25,000 litres for use with liquids of varying densities. The main problems with the carriage of flexitanks in standard containers appear all to be related to the stowage, filling, handling and securing of the flexitanks, which result in leakage of the contents. Containers with flexitanks may not appear on the specials list along with dangerous goods, reefer, out-of-gauge and high-cube containers – so problems may only show up on board if there is an issue. The purpose of this publication is to provide a source of information which is additional to that available to the maritime industry from regulatory, advisory, and consultative organisations. Whilst care is taken to ensure the accuracyof any information made available no warranty of accuracy is given and users of that information are to be responsible for satisfying themselves that the information is relevant and suitable for the purposes to which it is applied.
