Wine can be either bottled at the winery of a source or sent abroad in a bulk tank for its subsequent packaging. At first this might sound like an easy task, but in reality, there are many aspects to be taken into account. This article presents the shipping companies which handle the logistics of bulk wine.

Here we list out five major Bulk Wine Shipping Companies:

Flexitanks are the ideal option for ocean transportation of bulk wine. TIBA has a specialized division for the transportation of bulk liquids, which has extensive knowledge and experience in the use of flexitanks.

For this reason, TIBA uses flexitanks that are designed specifically for bulk transportation of wine.
