What NewPort Tank Containers does

NewPort Tank Containers is a Netherlands-headquartered, privately held global tank container operator founded in 1995 as part of World Shipping Inc. and currently operating under parent Gentco Logistics. The company leases ISO tank containers — including T11-T22 standard units, T50 gas, and T75 cryogenic equipment — and provides integrated bulk liquid logistics services for the chemical, food-grade, and gas/LNG industries across all major international trade lanes. Its dedicated fleet includes approximately 2,000 food-grade tanks (roughly 90% with 26,000-litre capacity and steam/warm water heating capability), supported by kosher and halal certifications that address regulated food transport markets.

The operating model spans six service lines: chemical services, food services, gas services, fleet management, depot services, and special equipment, delivered through wholly-owned subsidiaries and regional offices in the Netherlands, USA (Westlake OH, Naperville IL, Humble TX), Mexico, India, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Malaysia, plus entities in Singapore, Brazil, and China, and supplemented by a global agent and depot partner network. Revenue streams combine recurring tank leasing, project-based logistics coordination (ocean, trucking, rail, barge), managed fleet services, and depot-side maintenance, cleaning, periodic testing, and storage following EFTCO standards.

Technology and process infrastructure includes a custom-built Transport Management System with in-house Finance and Sales modules, GPS-based real-time track and trace across all tank types, Onbase invoice automation across international finance departments, and EcoTransIT World integration for transport emissions measurement. The company holds an extensive certification stack (ISO 9001/14001/45001, CDI, ITCO, EcoVadis, Halal, Kosher, C-TPAT, FENEX) and is a UN Global Compact participant. GTM is sales-led with direct regional sales teams, agent channels, and a self-serve quote request portal targeting enterprise and mid-market chemical, food, and gas customers.

Broad incumbents

• Odfjell SE: Odfjell is a Norwegian chemical tanker and tank terminal operator with global storage and transport services for bulk liquid chemicals and specialty products.

• VTG Aktiengesellschaft: VTG is a major European rail freight and logistics company with a tank container leasing division serving chemicals, food, and gas customers across Europe and beyond. Comparable to NewPort in tank container leasing and chemical/food vertical exposure, but operates from a much broader rail-freight platform.
