The plant-based oil industry has been a symbol of Mediterranean culture and cuisine for centuries. With its remarkable flavor and numerous health benefits, plant-based oil is in high demand worldwide. As the global market for plant-based oil continues to grow, the need for efficient and safe transportation methods has become increasingly critical due to shortage. We as a leading innovator in bulk liquid transport solutions, have emerged as a game-changer in the plant-based oil logistics sector by introducing the best of 2 worlds (tank container & flexibag) the Mega-Inliner® System for the transportation of all plant-based oils. In this article, we will explain the benefits of transporting plant-based oils using our innovative system.
Preservation of Quality
Plant-based oil is a delicate product that can be easily affected by exposure to air, light, and temperature fluctuations or cross contamination due to bad cleaning of conventional systems. The Mega-Inliner® System is designed to preserve the quality of plant-based oil during transportation. The containers in combination with our Mega-Inliner® are made from materials that offer excellent insulation protecting the oil from external factors that could lead to oxidation and spoilage. This ensures that the plant-based oil reaches its destination with its original flavor and nutritional value intact, with only 3 glasses of product residue left behind over 250HL of product shipped due to pressing with compressed air.
Cost Efficiency
Traditional transportation methods, such as glass bottles or plastic containers, are expensive due to packaging and handling costs. Transporting plant-based oil with the Mega-Inliner® System eliminates the need for these costly packaging materials and reduces labor requirements for loading and unloading. When the containers arrives at destination the product can be bottled close to the customer eliminating cross boarder taxes over packaging as well.
Increased Shelf Life
Plant-based oil’s shelf life can be significantly extended when transported in bulk tank containers. Our system is designed to minimize exposure to oxygen or any other external factors, which is a primary factor in oil degradation. The airtight sealing of our Mega-Inliner® prevents the oil from encountering with air and the metal surface of the tank container, thereby extending its shelf life and maintaining its freshness without any risks.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Mega-Inliner B.V. is committed to sustainable transportation solutions. Transporting plant-based oil with Mega-Inliner reduces the carbon footprint of each shipment by 65%. 1 Mega-Inliner® Tank Container ships as much as 2,5 box containers with pre-packed goods, resulting in significant lower emissions from transportation. Also the tank container is immediately clean after the empty Mega-Inliner® is removed, no more empty trips to and from cleaning stations and no more use of valuable drinking water during cleaning. Additionally, the Mega-Inliner® is made from 100% recyclable material.
Efficient Handling
The use of bulk tank containers streamlines the entire transportation process. Loading and unloading become faster and more efficient, reducing the time and effort required at both ends of the supply chain. This not only saves labour costs but also minimizes the risk of accidents and product damage during handling. The Mega-Inliner® is installed within 5 minutes and removed within 15 minutes, one man operation.
Conclusion
Transporting plant-based oils in bulk tank containers with Mega-Inliner B.V. offers a host of benefits, including quality preservation, cost efficiency, increased shelf life, reduced environmental impact and efficient handling. As the plant-based oil industry continues to expand globally but prices are going through the roof due to shortage, geopolitical tensions, environmental challenges and sustainability quest, the Mega-Inliner® System is proving to be an indispensable tool for plant-based oil producers and distributors seeking to maintain the highest standards of efficiency, quality and sustainability in their operations. Our commitment to excellence in bulk liquid transport is paving the way for a brighter and more efficient & sustainable future for the plant-based oil industry.

Mega-Inliner® is a combination of 2 everyday used bulk transport systems, we bring the best of these 2 worlds together for the best solution available on the market in transporting non-hazardous liquids. An environmentally conscious transport system that reduces Co2 emissions enormously and is also extremely cost-efficient. By using the Mega-Inliner System® planning becomes child’s play when connecting Inbound and Outbound flows.
- 100% product quality,
- No degradation
- No oxidation due to closed system when (un)loading
- No (de)saturation – carbonated products

- Lowest product spill/residue per load
- Lowest Co2 footprint possible per Mt product in total supply chain
- No cross-contamination
- No previous cargo restrictions
- No cleaning or rinsing of the tank, saving water, energy, and chemicals
- No empty kilometres or depot costs
- FDA & EU Food approved
- Halal & Kosher
- Mega-Inliner® 100% Recyclable (single source material)
- Aseptic loading, transport, and unloading possible
- Suitable for storage, longer shelf life
- One-man operation, short lead time
- No people on top of or in the tank.
- Connecting inbound and outbound logistics
Depending on the current supply chain we can be competitive with all. If you are transporting ready-to-drink in bottles now, the impact of using our system is huge, but changing the supply chain takes more time, switching from conventional tank container or flexitank to Mega-Inliner® is easy and gives you the benefits immediately. All other IBCs, Drums, kegs, etc are somewhere in the middle.
By using the Mega-Inliner® System it is possible to go directly to the next loading location without the need for cleaning between each load. Therefore, costs such as driver wages, cleaning costs and waiting time are being saved. Because there will be no residue left behind in the tank all costs of product being wasted are eliminated. Due to our Mega-Inliner®, your product will be shipped in a clean and closed environment and therefore there is no chance of cross-contamination or other problems.
By using the Mega-Inliner® System your Co2 emission will be reduced by a minimum of 30%. The Mega-Inliner® is 100% recyclable and cleaning of the Tank Container becomes obsolete. Our system makes it possible to connect Inbound and Outbound logistics by simply removing the Mega-Inliner® after each load, this results in no empty kilometres to and from cleaning stations, wastage of valuable (drinking) water belongs to the past (saving ± 2,500 litres per cleaning), no chemicals for cleaning are necessary. Ship your foodstuff or other non-hazardous liquids in bulk globally and pack locally save up to 60% on transport costs and reduce a minimum of 30% on your Co2 emission.
