The ITCO Tank Container e-learning course, developed by the International Tank Container Organisation (ITCO), is essential for promoting safe, competent, and efficient handling of tank containers in maritime and intermodal transport. Aligned with the IMDG Code, it addresses provisions for portable tanks carrying dangerous and non-dangerous goods, covering design, construction, marking, filling, placarding, cleaning, maintenance, repair, and inspection. This training mitigates risks in road, rail, and sea operations, ensuring regulatory compliance, reducing hazards to lives, property, and the environment, and supporting sustainable global logistics by fostering awareness and best practices among industry stakeholders.

Offered through NCB Hazcheck (Exis Technologies), the course includes interactive modules on tank parts, IMDG Code provisions, operational plans, depot processes, cleaning, maintenance, and inspections. It targets operators, shippers, carriers, lessors, surveyors, depot providers, and managers, providing a certificate upon completion based on assessments.

Advantages of eLearning include flexibility (accessible anytime via PC, laptop, or tablet (iPad, Android, Windows) with internet connection) enabling self-paced study without operational disruptions. It’s cost-effective (a fraction of classroom training), scalable for global teams, and ensures consistent, high-quality compliance through engaging content like animations, references, and tests, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
