Bulk Chemical Transport
We manage large-scale chemical shipments through multiple transport modes optimized for the Caspian region:
- ISO tank containers — 20ft and 30ft ISO tanks for liquid chemicals, with heating coils and insulation options for viscous or temperature-sensitive products
- Flexitank solutions — Cost-effective bulk liquid transport in standard containers for non-hazardous chemicals, resins, and food-grade liquids
- Dry bulk logistics — Silo containers, big bags (FIBC), and pneumatic discharge trailers for powders, granules, and pellets
- Multimodal corridors — Rail-sea combinations through the Trans-Caspian corridor connecting Azerbaijan to Central Asia, China, and Europe
Petrochemical Supply Chain from Azerbaijan
As a major petrochemical hub, Azerbaijan produces and exports significant volumes of polyethylene, polypropylene, methanol, and other derivatives from the SOCAR Carbamide and Polymer plants. We provide dedicated logistics solutions for petrochemical exports including port handling at Baku International Sea Trade Port, container stuffing and fumigation, export documentation and customs clearance, and multimodal routing to global markets.
