Logistics & Forwarding Services

From origin to destination — full-cycle planning, documentation, compliance and execution for downstream and midstream petrochemical supply chains.

Our Three Operational Departments

Every shipment is backed by three specialist teams working in parallel.

🔬

Research Department

Market intelligence, regulatory monitoring, supplier qualification, and technical innovation for CIS and global petrochemical corridors.

🛡️

HSE Department

Health, Safety & Environment compliance — from USCG and ADR Class 2 requirements to IGC Code and Shell Standards, applied to every cargo movement.

🚢

Logistics & Forwarding

End-to-end transport management: multimodal freight, customs clearance, tanker preparation, certifications, and last-mile delivery.

A-to-Z Service Phases

Every ITCIA logistics engagement follows a structured eight-phase workflow.

01Needs Analysis

Cargo characterisation, UN class, transport mode selection, route planning and timeline mapping.

02Documentation

MSDS, CoA, packing declarations, dangerous goods notes, bill of lading and export permits.

03Tank / Vessel Preparation

Nitrogen inertisation, oxygen analysis (ASTM D 1946), dewpoint verification, pressure certification.

04Customs & Compliance

HS classification, TNVED codes, duty optimisation, sanctions screening, letter of credit structuring.

05Freight Execution

Booking, carrier coordination, load supervision, GPS tracking and incident response.

06Inspection & Survey

Independent surveyor sign-off, quality sampling at origin and destination, loss-control protocols.

07Insurance

Cargo cover under Institute Cargo Clauses (A), DIC/DIL extensions for hazardous petrochemical cargo.

08Delivery & Reporting

Final documentation package, proof of delivery, post-shipment debrief and KPI reporting.

Nitrogen Wash & Tank Preparation Procedures

O₂ Concentration
≤ 50 ppm (0.005%)
after nitrogen purge — ASTM D 1946
Tank Dewpoint
< −10°C (14°F)
chilled-mirror analyser — ISO 6353-1
Positive Pressure
≥ 13.8 kPa (2 psig)
maintained throughout transit
Nitrogen Purity
≥ 99.99%
O₂ ≤ 50 ppm in supply gas
⚠️

CRITICAL: This manual specifies NITROGEN WASH exclusively. Any reference to "ozone injection" is erroneous and extremely dangerous. Ozone is an oxidising agent that would promote peroxide formation and polymerisation in butadiene tanks.

🧪 Nitrogen Purge — 8-Step Procedure

  1. Connect high-purity N₂ (≥ 99.99%) to tank inlet valve.
  2. Start flow at 5–10 m³/min — gradually displace air.
  3. Monitor O₂ every 15 min via ASTM D 1946 analyser.
  4. Increase flow to 15–20 m³/min after initial purge.
  5. Sample outlet vent to confirm air expulsion.
  6. Continue until O₂ ≤ 50 ppm (2–4 air volume changes).
  7. Verify dewpoint < −10°C in tank vapor space.
  8. Close N₂ supply, confirm ≥ 2 psig, seal all openings.
