Intermediate Bulk Carrier – IBC

Large quantities of hazardous substances are transported worldwide. By water, rail, air and road. To prevent hazardous solids from causing damage to people or the environment during transport, Vonk has expanded the program with the Intermediate Bulk Carriers. In short: IBC. These containers are ADR 11H2 certified, equipped with a lid and specially developed for the transport of solid soil-threatening substances, hazardous substances and CMR substances.

The transport of hazardous substances entails additional risks. After all, in the event of an accident, the substances can be released and cause damage to both people and the environment. For this reason, there is strict international legislation that sets requirements for, among other things, the vehicle, the method of loading, the documentation, the knowledge and experience of the people involved and the packaging.
