Ship bulk solvent products by air?

Why is it not feasible to ship Hexane products by air?
Because the cost of air transportation will be very high, we all know that a 40 foot container can load 160 drums, 130 kilograms per drum, a total of 20.8 tons of n-Hexane. The sea freight to Nhava Sheva is USD 3,500 How much will it cost if we fly it by air? The high cost of freight is hard to imagine.
The most important point is that air transportation also has special requirements for packaging. The steel drums provided by our steel drum suppliers meet the requirements of international sea and land transportation, but can not meet the standards of international air transportation.

Proper liquid bulk tanker loading or unloading is crucial to the quality maintenance of chemical products. And if things go wrong here, the consequences are usually catastrophic.

The tanker loading and unloading process often includes the inspection of the truck, trailer, and equipment, and verifying that the right tanker is unloading the right chemical product into the right storage tank. It also requires an expert level of competence by the driver to pay attention while the process is ongoing and spot potential issues before they develop.
