Tank Containers
March/April 2016
Langh spill tank on
display
L
angh Cargo Solutions used the Intermodal Asia exhibition in Shanghai to
display its recently introduced Spill Tank Container.
The Finnish group says the 40ft unit is designed for the demanding Nordic climate. It
has a removable hard top roof, which guarantees that the tank stays clear of rainwater,
snow and other dirt and is thus always ready for service. High chromium ferritic stainless
steel, Outokumpu Core 4622, gives high corrosion resistance and maximises the lifetime
of the container.
“Built from ferritic stainless steel and also having a roof, the Spill Tank Container is the
first of its kind built specifically for Nordic conditions,” says Markku Yli-Kahri, product
manager for Langh Cargo Solutions. The company added that the stainless steel used
has an environmental value as it is made from recycled raw materials and once the spill
tank reaches the end of its life cycle, it can be 100 percent recycled.

Singh to lead CS Leasing
expansion
F
ormer Fort Vale sales and marketing director
Kevin Singh has joined CS Leasing as vice
president - Europe to oversee its expansion into
European and African markets.
CS Leasing (CARU Specialized Leasing) was formed in
September last year by Dutch container leasing company
CARU and investment firm Transportation Capital Group.
The new company focuses on leasing ‘noncommoditised’ containers requiring greater product
expertise and high service levels.
Singh joins the company after 10 years at Fort Vale,
where he rose to become a board member. A statement
from the lessor welcomed Singh’s extensive contacts in
the tank container industry, “in-depth experience of the
current manufacturing environment and a deep
understanding of the issues that operators and logistics
providers are facing”.
“Kevin’s extensive network and business knowledge
will make a valuable contribution to our business,” said
Tim May, part of the management team at CS Leasing.
“His strong commercial and operational expertise,
combined with his experience in managing overseas
expansion, was extremely attractive for us.”
Singh himself said he was delighted to be joining the
firm. “I have known the management team here for a
long time and I was attracted to their commitment to
provide world class, flexible and customer-oriented
service. This is an exciting opportunity and I look forward
to creating a customer-focused leasing company,” he
commented.
His primary role will be to focus on creating the
necessary infrastructure to oversee growth in Europe and
Africa. The decision to expand builds on the positive
reception CS Leasing has received in the market since it
was launched.

refuelling for
fire brigade
M
obile refuelling for helicopters and vehicles is now
available to the Lower Austria Fire Brigade following
the delivery of two 5,500 litre joint fuel systems built by
WEW.
Following extensive assessment and referrals from other WEW
users, including the Austrian Army, the Lower Austria Fire Service
Association placed a contract with WEW to provide two systems,
both of which have now been delivered and were demonstrated
during KAT 15, the Fire Services Association open day.
The autonomous systems are fitted with their own generator and
a dual pump system. These are able to transport both diesel for
the vehicles and Jet A1 for the helicopters. The dual pump units
are able to dispense from 10 litres a minute up to 150 litres a
minute depending on the refuelling task.
The tanks have a hook lift bail bar fitted to the ISO frame to
enable the units to be transported by a hook-arm fitted vehicle.
This allows the tank to be transported to wherever it is required,
be unloaded, without any additional lifting equipment, and within
minutes be dispensing fuel while the vehicle is able to move off
and carry out another task. This capability makes the tanks fully
‘drop & go’, said WEW.
“Our ‘drop & go’ solutions are designed to get fuel to wherever
it is needed as quick ǒ2
