    What is ADR and RID

    ADR (formally, the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) is since 1957 United Nations treaty that governs transnational transport of hazardous materials.

    RID is the European agreement for the transport of dangerous goods by railway, and mainly in accordance with the ADR rules and regulations.

    he agreement itself is brief and simple, and its most important article is article 2. This article states that with the exception of certain exceptionally dangerous materials, hazardous materials may in general be transported internationally in wheeled vehicles, provided that two sets of conditions be met:

    Annex A
    regulates the merchandise involved, notably their packaging and labels.

    Annex B
    regulates the construction, equipment, and use of vehicles for the transport of hazardous materials.

    What is a trailer?

    A trailer is generally an unpowered vehicle towed by a powered vehicle. It is commonly used for the transport of goods and materials. Trailer can be called as a semitrailer in some transportation methods. A semi-trailer is a trailer without a front axle. A large proportion of its weight is supported either by a road tractor or by a detachable front axle assembly known as a dolly. A semi-trailer is normally equipped with legs, called "landing gear", which can be lowered to support it when it is uncoupled.

    Trailers are availabe as flat, with taupolin or with container-locks. Specially for the transport of Tankcontainer are trailers which ends with a construction to keep possible spillage on connection/disconnection of tubes for loading or unloading. This is a safety for enviroment. Sizes and measures of trailers are ruled clearly on the 128th articles on Road Traffic Regulations.

    How many ADR certified vehicle and trailer does your company have?

    We have a fleet of about 50 trailers and 25 tractors with ADR-Equipment only in Turkey. 24 trailers and 12 tractors have ADR T9 certificates.

    How many different Heating Methods do you offer?

    We offer 3 different heating methods. Our tank container terminal in Istanbul/Gebze is equipped with steam, hot water, and electrical heating systems.
    We are able heat simultanly 6 tank containers with steam, 5 tank containers with hot water, and 2 tank containers with electric to keep your heat sensitive tank containers on the right temperature.

    How do you handle storage?

    We have handling systems for loaded tank containers, and our tank container terminal at Istanbul/Gebze has a capacity to store up to 250 full tank containers and about 250 empty Tankcontainer at a time for storrage and heating.

    NEWS

    November 2018

     

    Conversion of coal and oil heating to environmentally friendly natural gas for the heating of containers and offices in the Gebze terminal.

    After long preparations, a new heating system for the heating of tank containers with natural gas could be put into operation in Gebze.
    For this purpose, the entire associated infrastructure had to be set up and a separate supply line for natural gas laid.
    At the same time, a new building for gas heating was built and the heating capacity almost doubled. The use of environmentally friendly natural gas has significantly improved the environmental footprint. The coal heating is now held only as a reserve for any failures.
