Businesses moving chemicals, petroleum products, or food-grade liquids into or out of Kenya need transport that protects product integrity while meeting international safety rules. ISO tank containers, or isotanks, are built for exactly this: sealed, reusable, and certified for both hazardous and non-hazardous liquids moving through the Port of Mombasa and on into the East African hinterland. Kricon Group provides isotank and flexitank logistics for shippers in Kenya and across the wider African continent.
Why Kenyan Shippers Choose Isotanks
A single isotank carries 25,000 to 26,000 litres, replacing large volumes of drummed cargo with one sealed unit. For companies importing industrial chemicals or exporting Kenyan-produced liquids such as edible oils, this cuts handling risk, prevents contamination, and keeps shipments compliant with ADR, IMDG, and RID rules for dangerous goods, at a lower cost per litre than conventional drum transport.
Isotank Transport Through Mombasa and Beyond
Mombasa is East and Central Africa's busiest port, with dedicated berths for bulk liquid and gas cargo and direct multimodal links into Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and eastern DRC. Kricon Group arranges isotank movements into and out of Mombasa on a door-to-port or door-to-door basis, covering booking, customs coordination, tank cleaning, and inland transport to processing sites across Kenya and the wider region.
