TCS ISO Tank Container Services

What TCS ISO Tank Container Services does

TCS ISO Tank Container Services is a privately-held Egyptian service provider headquartered in Alexandria that operates a single integrated facility on the Alexandria-Cairo desert road (Kilo 23) delivering ISO tank container management. The company offers three core service lines — tank cleaning, maintenance and repair, and customs-bonded storage — and positions itself as the only cleaning station in Alexandria with its own bonded area, enabling in-house customs clearance facilitation and storage periods of up to nine months. Its served customers span logistics and shipping operators, chemical manufacturers, food and beverage companies, pharmaceutical handlers, and importers/exporters active in North Africa.

The company's service operations are built on computerized cleaning systems with PLC-based control and touchscreen interfaces, supported by a 55-bar multi-stage centrifugal pump for interior cleaning, a 175-bar high-pressure detergent dosing system for exterior washing, a 600 kW hot water heating system, a 700 kg/h steam generator for sanitization, a 1,000 m³/h air scrubber, and a 3,000 m³/h drying system. The facility features fully stainless-steel wash bays and an effluent treatment plant for environmental compliance. Maintenance and repair capabilities cover gasket replacement, periodic testing at 2/5/5-year intervals, frame welding, cladding patches, pressure and vacuum testing, PRV tests, valve work, and inspection protocols including vacuum leak and vacuum box testing for certification.

TCS generates revenue through per-service fees for cleaning, parts-and-labor charges for repair, recurring storage fees for bonded warehousing, and inspection fees for certification. Pricing is entirely quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers, and customers are engaged via direct on-site interaction at the Alexandria facility. Marketing relies on a LinkedIn company page, an educational blog covering ISO tank cleaning and bonded storage, and website-based quote-request forms. The company operates with 101–250 employees, supports customers 24/7, and sources spare parts through a partnership with Pelican, a valve and gasket supplier. No funding rounds, acquisitions, geographic expansions, or leadership changes are disclosed in the available data.
