Intermodal Tank Transport Inc USA

What Intermodal Tank Transport Inc USA does

Intermodal Tank Transport (USA), Inc. is a global ISO tank container logistics provider founded in 1993 in Medellín, Colombia and now headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company transports bulk-liquid chemicals (including toxic, corrosive, flammable, and explosive cargo) and food-grade liquids (beverages, edible oils, food ingredients, pharmaceuticals, animal feed) for enterprise customers across the chemical and food & beverage industries. ITT operates the largest U.S.-based ISO tank fleet with more than 20 wholly-owned offices across the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, South Asia, and the Middle East, and maintains company-owned depots for cleaning, repair, refurbishment, and transloading in Colombia and Venezuela.

The core offering is intermodal ISO tank transportation across road, rail, and sea, complemented by IMO 1/2/5/7 classified tank specifications (T1–T75 codes) for hazardous and refrigerated cargo. Adjacent services include fleet management for tank-owning customers, tank rental for static storage, depot cleaning and refurbishment, and food-grade transportation certified to FDA, Kosher, and Halal standards. A dedicated food-grade fleet of over 2,000 containers was acquired in 2019, broadening the platform beyond industrial chemicals.

ITT generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on transportation services, managed-service fees for fleet management, and recurring tank rental for storage, with quote-based multi-year enterprise contracts. The company is privately held, with Apollo funds having agreed to invest in June 2023. GTM is sales-led and consultative, delivered through the global office network and a "Request a Quote" engagement model on intermodaltank.com, supported by certifications including EcoVadis, C-TPAT, SQAS, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 22000:2018, CDI, GMP+, and Responsible Care.

Broad incumbents

• Vopak: Vopak is the world's largest independent tank storage provider, also participating in intermodal chemical logistics — a broad incumbent that overlaps with ITT's chemical bulk-liquid supply chain positioning.
• Stolt-Nielsen Limited: Stolt-Nielsen operates Stolthaven Terminals and Stolt Tank Containers alongside its chemical tanker shipping; the tank container division is a direct competitor while the broader firm is an established industry incumbent.
• Oiltanking: Oiltanking operates a global network of tank terminals with related logistics for petroleum, chemicals, and gases — overlaps with ITT as a bulk-liquid infrastructure participant rather than a pure tank container peer.

Direct peers

• Bulk Liquid Solutions: Bulk Liquid Solutions (India) operates a global ISO tank container fleet focused on chemicals and food-grade liquids, providing a comparable asset-based service to chemical and food shippers.
• Suttons Group: Suttons is a UK-headquartered international bulk liquid logistics provider operating ISO tank container fleets and depots across Asia, Europe, and the Americas — directly comparable to ITT's coverage.
• Hoyer Group: Hoyer is one of the largest global ISO tank container operators with its own depot network, chemical fleet, and food-grade capability — directly comparable to ITT's full-service bulk-liquid intermodal model.
• NewPort Tank Containers: NewPort is a large global ISO tank container operator and lessor with an owned depot network — a closely comparable asset-heavy tank container service model to ITT.
• Den Hartogh Logistics: Den Hartogh is a Dutch bulk liquid logistics specialist with ISO tank container transport across Europe and globally, targeting the same chemical and food-grade verticals as ITT.
• Bertschi Group: Swiss-based Bertschi operates a global ISO tank container and intermodal liquid bulk network with owned depots, closely matching ITT's bundled transport-plus-depot offering for chemicals and food-grade liquids.

Emerging players

• Trinity Tankers / Triton Container International: Triton acquired SeaCube's tank container leasing business and is expanding in ISO tank container assets, positioning it as an emerging direct competitor with growing depot and fleet scale.
