Chemical tanker carriers wanted
Vektor Group arranges chemical road freight in Europe and looks for tanker operators whose equipment fits the cargo. Rubber lined, stainless steel, pneumatic and ISO tank container capacity, matched by product, by lane and by the ADR class you are certified to carry.
What a tanker operator gets
Stated plainly, and nothing we cannot do today.
Matched on lining, not on price alone
A rubber lined barrel and a stainless barrel are not interchangeable. We record which lining your barrels carry and which products they are cleared for, so the job that reaches you is one your equipment can legally and safely take.
The UN number before you commit
Product, UN number, packing group, tunnel restriction and the cleaning status required at load are on the table when you decide. Not after you have accepted.
Cleaning and previous load, in writing
Last three loads and the cleaning certificate the shipper requires are part of the enquiry, so you can judge whether your next tank turn works.
One operational contact
The same desk from booking to proof of delivery. You never explain the job twice and you never chase the shipper.
What we need from you
Four documents and one honest description of the fleet.
Transport licence and CMR cover
Community licence and CMR liability insurance at a level that matches the cargo value you are willing to carry.
ADR certification
Driver ADR training certificates and the vehicle approval certificate for the tank, with the classes and tank code stated.
Tank specification
Barrel material and lining, capacity, compartments, tank code, last three products and the cleaning stations you use.
Where you actually run
Home base, the corridors you cover empty and loaded, and whether you return to base or reload on the far side.
Where this work runs
Chemical tanker movements in the Vektor network concentrate on the corridors between the Benelux chemical clusters, the German industrial regions and the Nordic and Baltic receiving points. Rotterdam, Botlek, Moerdijk, Antwerp, Geleen and the Rhine Ruhr sites generate most of the loading, and the discharge points sit across Germany, Poland, the Baltic states and Scandinavia. If your barrels already run part of that map, the matching is straightforward. If you run a corridor we do not currently cover, tell us anyway, because the network follows the equipment it can rely on rather than a fixed map.
What we do not claim
We do not promise a volume, a fixed number of loads or a guaranteed lane. Vektor Group is a freight brokerage and the work reaches you when a shipper movement matches your barrel, your lane and your certification. Carriers who run well are called first. That is the whole basis on which the network grows.
Specialist capacity we are looking for
Three fleets, three pages. If one of them describes your equipment, start there.
