Follow on Google News | Trans Ocean leads the way in flexitank safety initiativeTrans 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” “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.
