LNG ISO tanks: Transporting Liquefied Natural Gas
ISO standards and DOT regulations
ISO tanks, built according to ISO standards (International Organisation for Standardisation), are commonly used for transporting liquids and gases in bulk quantities.
LNG ISO tanks ensure the safe transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
These stainless steel tanks feature multi-layered, vacuum-insulated pressure tanks backed up by double-walled transport tanks that help store LNG at temperatures as low as -162 °C (-260°F). Their maximum pressure level is 0.690 MPa.
An ISO intermodal container comprises two containers—an inner tank that holds the liquid natural gas (LNG) and an outer container with insulation materials—connected by two valves. Full containment tanks are most often used, though their size may differ depending on their intended use. Transporting LNG in ISO tanks offers an innovative and cost-effective alternative to traditional natural gas distribution methods.
LNG Cryogenic Tank SPECIFICATION

DESCRIPTION: 45700 LITRES T75 UN PORTABLE TANK (40’ LNG ISO tank container)
LNG ISO tank container
These tanks feature working pressures ranging from 100 psi to 10 bar and are ideal for transporting LNG safely. Furthermore, these tanks boast features like high vacuum insulation, stacking capabilities of nine units high, complete decal sets, and various pipework options to offer maximum versatility to end users and operators alike.
| Gas | 20ft, 40ft, 45ft | They are designed to carry industrial, medical, and natural gases, such as liquefied petroleum gas and heliox. |
| Multi-compartment | 20ft, 40ft | This device is excellent if you want to transport various liquids, powders, and gases simultaneously. |
| LNG ISO tanks | 20ft, 40ft, 45ft | Intended to ship liquefied natural gas (LNG), such as methane and ethane. |
20ft and 40ft LNG iso tank containers
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) can be efficiently transported over long distances using cryogenic ISO tank containers.
This method offers a cost-effective solution for supplying fuel to end users far from the LNG source.
A 20ft cryogenic LNG ISO container has a storage capacity of 22,000 litres and operates at a working pressure of 17 BAR.
We designed the LNG tank container to temporarily store cryogenic natural gases under pressure. The inner vessels are made of austenitic stainless steel, cold-stretched for specific medium- and high-pressure models.
These tanks are also available vertically or horizontally and can hold cryogenic gases such as LIN, LOX, LAR, LNG, COâ‚‚, and Nâ‚‚O.
| Container Type | Container Size (L x W x H/mm) | Design Code | Load Weight (KG) | Design Temperature (°C) |
| 20 ft. LNG iso tank container | 6,058 x 2,438 x 2,591 | ASME/GB | 26,000–28,500 | -196~+50 |
| 40ft LNG iso tank container | 12,192 x 2,438 x 2,591 | ASME/GB | 30,480–34,000 | -196~+50 |
