Efficiency of the site depends on a reliable logistics
Rail:
400 rail cars daily
26 % of transport volume
Road:
2,100 trucks daily
32 % of transport volume
Inner waterways:
20 ships daily
42 % of transport volume
Pipelines: 2,850 km
Roads: 106 km

Building 40 internal trains per day
Delivery to 160 loading stations
22 hoursLots of shunting activities - train building process at the hump is very time consuming

➢ High payload is important for the efficiency of the loading stations
➢ Removable tank is key for efficiency increase in onsite rail logistics
BASF Class Tank Containers
up to 73,000 Liter volume
66 tons payload
Standard tank container
25,000 – 36,000 Liter volume
25 tons payload
