3. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions The History of Tank ContainersFrom ancient times to present Main features of Tank ContainersStandards and Specials Logistics – a vital part of efficient Supply Chain Management Sustainability – a condition for growth What is ITCO ?A short introduction to the organization

4. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions As a logical consequence, containers for liquids were introduced in the early 70’s with capacities of about 20 cbm Today, containers can carry 30-36 cbm In the 60’s containers revolutionized the world of transportation In the 19th century barrels were mounted on railway cars in North America to carry oil Wooden barrels were used in early Greek and Roman times for transporting wine in the Mediterranean region

5. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions An estimated capacity of 320.000 tank containers currently globally in service App. 75 % of the total fleet employed in Intra-European trades using mature and generally efficient intermodal systems as well as sophisticated logistics structures The annual manufacture standing in 2012 went up to almost 40.000 units; 80 % leaving Chinese factories and 20 % delivered from South Africa and Europe Outlook Significant growth expected in and with China as well as in the Middle East Intra-Asia strongly developing Expected annual manufacture in China: 25.000 plus Declining trend until 2020

6. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions Tank containers consist of a pressure vessel fitted within a frame according to ISO-standards The majority of tank containers are constructed of stainless steel The design is governed by international regulations A typical “workhorse” is of 25000 liter capacity with a max. gross weight of 34 metric tons Configurations, i.e. valves, fittings or heating systems, differ according to customer requirements A wide range of cargoes can be transported in tank containers: Foods incl. wine, spirits, oils, starch, juice Chemicals, incl. flammable, toxic, corrosive liquids Gases – liquefied and permanent Powder

8. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions Tank containers play a vital part in linking demand and supply of liquid chemicals – locally, regionally and globally. • Cost-efficient • adjusting easily to changing demand-supply-patterns • reaching any place around the globe • acceptable lead times • allowing short term buffer stocks for JIT-delivery; reduction of inventory • designed to the specifications of a particular product and/or the needs of loading/unloading facilities • safe due to high-standard technical integrity

9. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions Transporting chemicals requires careful organization and execution of the physical handling processes by all parties involved – SAFETY FIRST A heavy damage due to vacuum did not create a leakage No cargo leaked when this container was involved in a bad road accident

10. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions To guarantee safe and secure transportation in all areas, compliance with some requirements is mandatory • Correct documentation (weight and classification) • safe and appropriate loading and unloading facilities to avoid accidents and fatalities • technical integrity of containers and any vehicles • adherence to any regulations governing local, regional and international transportation • respecting guidelines related to cleaning, mounting and entering containers RESPONSIBLE CARE FOR PEOPLE, ENVIRONMENT AND ASSETSSHALL ALWAYS PREVAIL

11. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions Safeguarding our environment for future generations The Tank container industry shall follow all initiatives aiming at • continuously improving the environment, health, safety and security knowledge and performance of technologies, processes, products and services over their life cycles so as to avoid harm to people and the environment • using resources efficiently and minimize waste Only by adhering to such targets we shall be able to foster long term global economical growth

12. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions Tank containers can optimize the use of resources such as steel • re-usable package with an economical life of typically 20 years; after discharge of cargo the tank is cleaned, inspected and prepared for the next load • the life can be extended by a process of remanufacturing where the retained tank is recycled into a new frame • Materials used for the manufacturing of a tank are very suitable for recycling. The stainless steel tank and the carbon steel frame can be melted and made into new materials Tank containers support economicalgrowth while respecting the demandfor sustainability

13. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions The organization of transports with tank containers is determined to reduce the carbon footprint • transportation accounts for 98 % of the total footprint • Tank containers are inherently multi-modal, which can be far-less carbon intensive than mono-modal systems, such as trucking • by using specialized logistics experts, deadhead trips can be reduced despite the existence of significant trade imbalances; in-transit handling of cargo is minimized • sophisticated and approved cleaning and repair facilities can reduce waste and will aim at offering environmental-friendly systems • enhanced insulation of containers can reduce the need for heating

14. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions What is ITCO? • Established 1998Voluntary, non-profit organization • Global reach – 145 members from more than 20 countries on 5 continents • 5 divisions covering manufacture,operation, leasing, services,inspection • Governed by an elected councilof experienced professionals

15. Tank Containers – a contribution to sustainable Logistics solutions What is ITCO? • Global promotion of the tankcontainer concept matchingeconomic and ecologic targets • Representation of the industry ona global level at regulatory bodies • Establishment and enhancement of an industry-wide code of practice and minimum standards • Introduction to sustainability practices and Responsible Care behavior
