Liquid Hydrogen ISO Tank Container (LH2) – 20FT and 40FT

CTT 20FT and 40FT cryogenic ISO tank containers for liquid hydrogen are designed for multimodal transport by road, rail and sea and can also be used as stationary cryogenic storage tanks.

Product family overview

Cryogenic ISO Tank Container for Liquid Hydrogen

Each CTT liquid-hydrogen tank container combines a cryogenic pressure vessel with an ISO frame for multimodal road, rail and sea logistics. The same container can also be used as a stationary storage tank when integrated with the required transfer, pressure-control and safety systems.

CTT presents compact 20FT and higher-capacity 40FT cryogenic ISO tank container configurations for liquid hydrogen. Final selection and documentation depend on the intended route, operating envelope and project requirements.

Available formats: 20FT · 40FT
40FT vessel capacity: 36.49 m³
Published 40FT payload: 2,467 kg
Transport modes: Road · Rail · Sea

Buyer guide

Match the liquid-hydrogen container to the operating profile.

Hydrogen state and quality

Confirm refrigerated liquid hydrogen, required purity, filling temperature and the conditions at the loading source.

Required delivered mass

Define the useful hydrogen mass required at destination and the planned delivery frequency to select the appropriate capacity and format.

Transport duration

Consider the complete filling-to-discharge timeline and expected ambient conditions when setting holding-time and delivered-payload targets.

Pressure and interfaces

Define loading and unloading pressures, connections, transfer method and receiving-system operating requirements.

20FT or 40FT format

Compare required payload, delivery frequency, handling equipment and site space to select the most suitable container format.

Approval and inspection scope

Confirm the destination markets and any customer-specific certification, inspection and technical-documentation requirements.

Inspection & certification

Every CTT tank container is inspected, tested and certified.

Every CTT tank container is manufactured under a defined quality and inspection plan. Welds and critical pressure-vessel components are examined using applicable non-destructive testing methods, including ultrasonic testing and radiographic (X-ray) examination, in accordance with the certified design and international pressure-vessel standards. Each completed unit undergoes pressure testing, leak-tightness testing and final conformity inspection before delivery and is supplied with the applicable certificates, inspection records and technical documentation.

Project inquiry

Discuss the intended cryogenic application with CTT.

Start with the cryogenic medium, quantity, operating conditions, delivery cycle or stationary-storage requirement and applicable documentation scope.
