Chemical Tanker Carriers Wanted

Chemical tanker carriers with equipment that fits the cargo are what Vektor Group looks for when it arranges chemical road freight in Europe. 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 you get

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.

Corridors

Where this work runs

Chemical tank loads start at Europe’s chemical clusters, 61 of them on this map, from Rotterdam, Antwerp and the Rhine-Ruhr to Leuna, Ludwigshafen, Linz, Lyon, Tarragona, Płock and Porvoo. Tell us which corridors you run loaded and which you run empty, and we match loads to the equipment you have there.

If you run a corridor that is not drawn here, tell us anyway, because the network follows the equipment it can rely on rather than a fixed map.

Onboarding

What we need from you

Four documents and one honest description of the fleet.

1

Transport licence and CMR cover

Community licence and CMR liability insurance at a level that matches the cargo value you are willing to carry.

2

ADR certification

Driver ADR training certificates and the vehicle approval certificate for the tank, with the classes and tank code stated.

3

Tank specification

Barrel material and lining, capacity, compartments, tank code, last three products and the cleaning stations you use.

4

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.

Plainly

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.
