Cotac has opened a new tank container cleaning and repair facility in Ludwigshafen, the first under a new partnership with Contargo, Multimodal Tank Care (Mutac). The new Kaiserwörthhafen location can handle up to 20,000 cleanings and 7,000 repairs a year, with periodic maintenance and modification also offered in the workshops, which can accommodate containers of up to 52 feet.
“Our customers benefit from the fact that we are located in the immediate vicinity of a trimodal container terminal,” says Dirk Müller, site manager at cotac Ludwigshafen. “This enables us to offer them all the services in accordance with established quality standards and brought together at a single site. For us, the fast and flexible turnaround time of tank containers is our absolute focus.”
Six steam heating spots are provided and there is temporary storage space for empty tanks before and after cleaning and workshop services. “We can now offer customers in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region an even more comprehensive service for tank containers, available immediately,” says Jürgen Albersmann, CEO of Contargo. “To enable as many shippers as possible to benefit from these services, we are currently increasing the storage capacity for tank containers at our Ludwigshafen terminal from 430 to 730 spaces.”
