Indiana HazMat Operations Practice Test

Intermodal tanks are built to move hazmat across multiple transportation modes—truck, rail, and ship—so shipping is a primary function. At the same time, they’re portable, contained vessels that can be set on a site for a period of time, making them convenient for temporary storage at terminals or customer sites. With proper cleaning, inspection, and regulatory compliance, they function effectively as storage vessels as well. So they are used for both shipping and storage, not just one or the other.
