Trans Ocean leads the way in flexitank safety initiative

Trans Ocean, global leader in bulk liquid logistics, has become the first company to fully comply with the Container Owners Association (COA) recommended Code of Practice for flexitanks.

2012-07-20
LONDON, ENGLAND, July 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) Trans Ocean, global leader in bulk liquid logistics, has become the first company to fully comply with the Container Owners Association (COA) recommended Code of Practice for flexitanks.
The Code of Practice consists of five parts including; material testing, container selection, container labelling, incident management and training. Until now, significant emphasis amongst shipping lines and flexitank operators has been placed on the rail test yet, as the direction of the code now moves towards a Publicly Available Specification (PAS), it is essential that companies demonstrate, through independent audits, that they also comply with the other sections.

On 7th June 2012, and following a process of review, implementation and audit, Trans Ocean became the very first flexitank operator in the industry to submit all documents to the COA, including independent audit reports where required.

"This is a significant milestone, and the path leading to this achievement has been both interesting and challenging", said Brendan McKenna, Hillebrand Group Board Member. "We have made significant investments in equipment, and have amended certain of our working practices in order to comply. It has encouraged us to not only take a critical look at the way we do things, but also to create written procedures that standardise our design, manufacturing and quality process across our global engineering and manufacturing footprint leading to tangible benefits for our customers worldwide."

"At Trans Ocean, we always strive to be one step ahead," McKenna continues. "We aim to provide the safest, most reliable and most advanced flexitank systems on the market. Our on-going commitment to meet and exceed the COA Code of Practice criteria is testament to this and we are proud to announce that we are the first flexitank company to comply with all 5 parts of the Code of Practice in its entirety."

Flexitanks contribute huge value to the market especially when manufactured and operated in a safe and professional manner. The COA Recommended Flexitank Code of Practice is a critical and important step toward creating an international, formal and industry-wide standard, which will benefit customers, shippers and suppliers through quality assurances and added peace of mind when shipping in bulk.

Trans Ocean is the world leader in the provision of liquid bulk logistics, delivering environmental and economical supply chain solutions to a diverse range of customers.

Our flexitank products are exclusively designed and manufactured in our own facilities in South Africa, China and Malaysia, giving us complete care and control over our equipment quality, supply and planning.

As part of the worldwide Hillebrand Group, Trans Ocean is supported by a global network of offices and logistics professionals in over 83 countries worldwide. For additional information, please refer to our website http://www.transoceanbulk.com
