Specialist Transport for High-Risk and Regulated Cargo
Dangerous goods require more than ordinary freight booking. They demand accurate cargo identification, route planning, carrier approval, compliant documentation and careful coordination between the shipper, consignee, freight carrier, port, terminal and customs authorities.
MIDTRANS has managed demanding cargo categories including corrosive chemicals, flammable industrial liquids, petrochemical materials, fertilizers, industrial oils, chemical feedstocks and substances requiring transport in purpose-selected ISO tank containers.
Our historical project experience includes the maritime transport of significant quantities of hydrofluoric acid from India to Syria in leased ISO tanks, coordinated with international project logistics partners and delivered as part of a major petrochemical industrial development.
Operational focus
Regulated Cargo Profiles We Review
Subject to cargo review, carrier acceptance and applicable regulations, MIDTRANS can coordinate transport solutions for:
- Corrosive chemicals and industrial acids
- Hydrofluoric acid and specialist chemical feedstocks
- Flammable liquids and solvents
- Benzene and liquid paraffin used in industrial production
- Petrochemical products and raw materials
- Industrial oils and lubricants
- Fertilizers and agricultural chemicals
- Oxidizing substances
- Aerosols, gases and pressurized cargo
- Lithium batteries and battery-powered equipment
- Regulated materials packed in drums, intermediate bulk containers and ISO tanks
- Temperature-sensitive or specially controlled chemical cargo
Cargo acceptance is never automatic. Final routing depends on the correct UN number, hazard class, packing group, Safety Data Sheet, quantity, packaging, origin, destination and carrier approval.

For urgent or high-value regulated consignments, MIDTRANS coordinates air freight according to the applicable airline and IATA requirements. Before booking, the classification, permitted quantity, packaging instructions, documentation and aircraft limitations must be verified.
