Covertainer cargo transportation concept

Container system has dare weight problem and size limitation problem.

Today 20 million container exists, and 200 million traffic occur per year. To transfer the cargo, container has to 10 turns.

If you have 1000-ton cargo, you need 36pcs container and total dare weight 130ton have to handle.

Shortly container size is not enough for human. Since 1931 container size didn't change but supply and demand does not remain same.

Bulk transportation requires cargo tank washing operations and result is not guaranteed also very risky operation and many accidents occur every year.

Also, cargo quality and cargo quantity loosing because of this concept. Not environmental and not effective.

Covertainer  is an elastic cargo bag which is cargo tank size(250m3). Cargo loading in the bag, so cargo tank does not contact with cargo. The bag always uses for same grade cargo so the bag also no need to wash.

With this way we can solve container dare weight and size problem

And cargo tank washing requirement not necessary anymore.

A chemical tanker vessel emitting 5500 ton carbon, consuming 1000 ton fresh water and disposing 15 ton chemical residue during cargo tank washing operations annually.

Phenol, Acrylonitrile, Styreneme Monomer, VAM, etc… all them very cancerogenic and poisinous chemicals and all them disposing to the sea during washings and it is legal as per MARPOL rules.

Simply childeren eating poisoned fishes and fish population reduce because of present system.

We can change this destiny with covertainer transportation concept.

My team and I are experts for maritime also my team well equipped about law, finance and genetic engineering so we believe we can achieve this challenge.

We already working with one of the biggest tyre manufacturer and one of the biggest oil producer company signed NDA.

We already build 3 pcs small scale (1m3) prototypes and concept proofed.

We would like to build 80m3 and 250m3 bags for test and prove the concept.

We are planning to open workshop in Houston. Houston is common place for chemical  liquid cargoes and there is river canal traffic.

For hub to market players and US market we believe Solve is right place to apply.

After discharge the cargo, vessel has to sail out in empty condition due to tank cleaning matter. 

In covertainer concept vessel never sail in empty condition. Vessel can discharge her cargo and immediately ready to load next cargo without leaving the port and without tank washing.

As per our feasibility, oil price may reduce up to 15% at gas station. Simply Covertainer Project may give a new shape to energy transportation.

Container transportation system commenced in 1931 

Since that day size is same but supply and demand are not same.

Today 20 million Container exist around the world and 200 million container traffic occur annually.

Its mean container have to do 10 turns to transfer the cargo and in 2030-2040-2050 this turns will increase more and more.

Simply container size is not enough for human. So Container size has to grow but this growing cannot be by iron because of dare weight.

Solution is Rubber and Covertainer cargo transportation concept.

Covertainer going to be 3rd generation transportation concept with its abilities after container and bulk transportation concepts.

Market players already performed case study and feasibility study and 

We already received intention letters from three shipowner company, total fleet is 28 ships

Turkish shipyards association and RMK Marine and Ceksan Shipyard already provided intention letters

Turkish Exporters Concil and Turk Economy Bank Supporting the project

Sabancı Holding one of biggest holding in Turkey and the biggest tyre manufacturer also supporting the project.

Sometimes what you believe to be the worst may be the solution itself. Sometimes the thing that is most harmful to the environment may be the answer to the solution.

I'm a chemical tanker captain and I'm disposing 15-ton chemical into the sea every year. is It legal? Yes. As per Marpol rules it is Legal. 

Our main technology is rubber and with covertainer transportation concept we will not dispose even one drop of chemical into the sea.

The Cargo bag planning to be up to 80% reusable.
