US Container Depot
expands in FLA, NJ
US Container Depot has spent the past several months
expanding its operations.
The firm recently added a full service tank container depot providing
cleaning, heating, maintenance, storage, and transportation solutions
in Jacksonville, Florida.
US Container Depot took delivery of a fully reconditioned Taylor
loaded container lift truck to meet customers’ needs better. It secured
approximately two and a half acres of ground storage space from
Southern Tank Services and is now able to store 400 tank containers.
Eric Dunn, vice president of operations, said: “With a small on-site
office and the implementation of handheld gating and inspection
systems for faster, easier equipment interchanging we know our
depot will be regarded as a dependable facility by customers and
carriers alike.”
Cassidy Daniels, business development representative, added: “Our
Jacksonville facility now offers all tank container services including
loaded and empty ground storage, transport, and drayage. We also
offer cleaning and heating, and maintenance through our
relationships with Southern Tank Services and Tank Repair and
Maintenance.”
Southern Tank Services operates a five bay wash rack on-site with a
variety of cleaning services. Tank repair and maintenance offers preps,
surveys and repairs on tank containers. All services can be coordinated
through US Container Depot as a single point of contact.
The facility is located at 1160 Eastport Road, Jacksonville.
Last year, US Container Depot worked in partnership with Extreme
Tank Cleaning to open a commercial tank wash in Newark, New
Jersey to serve the tank container and liquid bulk tank trailer industry
in the New Jersey area.
“Whether private or commercial, there have not been enough tank
wash facilities in northern New Jersey for years,” said Kevin Jackson,
president of the depot operator.
“The added capacity along with the high-pressure wash system to
reduce cleaning time should significantly improve the turn times for
Capacity at US Container Depots’ three locations
combined is close to 2,000 tank containers
The depot firm took delivery of a fully reconditioned Taylor loaded container lift truck
tank containers and tank trailers,” he said.
“We have partnered with an experienced and qualified service
provider in Extreme Tank Cleaning,” added Jackson. “Joe Bamber,
owner of Extreme Tank Cleaning, brings over 10 years of experience
in the tank cleaning industry and the necessary supervision to ensure
the high-level quality and service we are known for.”
The tank wash facility has two tank wash bays and, in addition to
standard washing protocol, will use a high-pressure pump to increase
cleaning capabilities. The high-pressure cleaning system reduces time
and waste water. In addition, the facility has a three-bay shop for tank
container prep and maintenance and is capable of storing
approximately 300 empty tank containers in the yard. While, the yard
and facility will primarily cater to the tank container sector, there will
be limited capacity to wash tank trailers based on availability.
The facility is located at 62 Joseph Street, Newark, NJ.
A division of Liquid Cargo Group Inc, US Container Depot has a
third facility in Savannah, Georgia. The facility was opened in 2014 at
a 4-acre site at 42 Sonny Purdue Dr. The depot can accommodate in
excess of 450 tank containers. Services include tank container testing
and inspections, heating and temperature monitoring, and minor
maintenance and repair.
Total storage capacity for at three locations combined is close to
2,000 tank containers.

GDS (Jubail) finally kicks off
After years of preparation, licensing and construction, the
Global Depot Solutions (GDS) depot in Jubail, Saudi
Arabia is operational. The new full-service depot has six
cleaning positions.
Gröninger Cleaning Systems supplied the washing technology. The
majority of the cleaning can be carried out with an efficient
‘standard’ 100 bar high pressure system. This allows four tanks to be
cleaned at the same time using PLC-controlled programs. For the
special work, GDS has two heavy-duty washing bays at its disposal.
Right next to the new depot is the Sadara chemical complex.
Methylene diphenyl isocyanate (MDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI)
are produced and shipped in and from this complex. MDI and TDI
are very difficult to remove from tanks after shipment. One of the
solutions is the application of very high pressure. For this application,
Gröninger included an 800 bar hydro blasting system which, in
combination with a rotor jet, removes the product from the tank
with coarse force.
A circulation machine is included for cleaning dried latex and
synthetic resins. The products are chemically dissolved and safely
removed from the tank.
Waste water is collected and purified in a physical/chemical and
biological installation. The purified water has such good quality that
it can partly be used again as pre-rinsing water. Excess water is
discharged or used for irrigation.
