I saw a guy building a concrete box around the container but if you go that far why even use a container.

In long beach there are a few yards with thousands of containers sitting there empty for sale. Stacked probably 20 or 30 high. Crazy looking yard.

I load containers and trailers for a living at the port of seattle. We load 6,000 gallons of oil in flexible bags into 20' shipping containers (like a box of wine) @ 44,000lbs of product. If the container is less then five years old and the coregated steel is in good shape they can more then handle the side load. less than five years old with no structual damage to the coregated steel, thats the mainly the criteria i look for when looking and shipping containers with flexitanks inside.
