About the service
Infotech-Baltika M provides full technical maintenance and repair of tank containers, preparing them for cargo operations, keeping them in working order and making sure they meet the applicable safety requirements.
We do not simply service tank containers, we make them ready for the next shipment.
The company's technical infrastructure combines its own base depot in Omsk with a network of more than 20 partner depots located close to large industrial plants and major transport hubs.
We arrange technical preparation of equipment, the necessary service operations, repair and survey of tank containers, including with the participation of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping and the Russian Classification Society.
Drawing on many years of operating a large tank container fleet, our specialists handle both routine maintenance and non-standard cases of restoring equipment.
We work with our own equipment and with tank containers belonging to third parties. Our task is to return the equipment to service, reduce unproductive idle time and help the owner use its fleet as effectively as possible.
How we work
We receive a request with details of the tank container, its technical condition and the work required.
We determine the scope of service needed, the requirements for the work and a suitable service site.
We prepare an offer covering the scope of work, cost, timing and place of performance.
We arrange the maintenance, repair or survey and monitor performance against the agreed scope.
We arrange the required documentation and hand the equipment back to the client for further use.
Why us
Experience of operating a large tank container fleet
The company's technical competence comes from many years of operating its own equipment. This lets us consider not only the repair requirements but the real conditions in which the tank container will work afterwards.
An own depot and more than 20 partner sites
The company's base depot is in Omsk.
Capability for complex technical work
The technical department handles non-standard cases, including finding specialised service providers when a particular operation cannot be carried out at our own site.
Work with classification societies
We arrange the technical operations and surveys required by the regulations, including under the supervision of RS and RCS, with the corresponding documentation issued.
Integrated management of maintenance
The client deals with a single technical department that arranges the required work and coordinates the service sites.
