Technical services


As market leaders in technical support, GES is able to offer technical advice on modifications and special projects, as well as support more conventional transport applications for tank containers. Our tank fleet is supported by a team of qualified engineers and the strength of the parent company, GE SeaCo, gives them access to a global support network of depots and service providers who’s knowledge and experience ensure that tanks are always in safe hands.

As part of GE SeaCo’s commitment to quality, our tanks are inspected in accordance with a strict set of criteria. This criteria sets out acceptable conditions for tank containers, and include tolerances and limits for damage to each tank. This not only applies to the tank shell but also refers to the container in its entirety including, among other things, the frame, cladding and valves.

The criteria also details that inspections should be carried out in compliance with international and local laws, including those relating to health & safety, the workplace, inspection and working conditions.

The full set of criteria is published in GE SeaCo's Tank Inspection Handbook and can be downloaded from this site by clicking on the PDF download attached to this page.
