Ukraine, the largest port authority of this region, has great plans for the future. For instance, in June 2017, The Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority (USPA) announced plans to allocate UAH 3.9 billion (124,820,373.12 EUR) to finance infrastructure projects in the maritime sector during 2017. [i]Also, the structure of Ukraine’s exports has traditionally shown an increase in transhipment of agro-sector products. This is grain — 19.6 million tons (+ 20%) and vegetable oils — 2.9 million tons (+ 33.8). These figures demonstrate the diverse requirements of the market, for which BeFlexi is a natural solution.[ii]”

 

BeFlexi’s business model is unique in that it supports the entire flexitank ecosystem. With its global partnership with SGS, the company provides professional and secure installation, loading, discharging and emergency response assistance in 2,000 locations worldwide.

 

Flexitanks are increasing in popularity mainly due to the reduction on loading and unloading times, their friendly carbon footprint given they are recyclable at the destination and their overall cost effectiveness. Flexitanks can also transport more liquid per container. These reasons combined has made this cost effective liquid bulk packaging solution, gain rapid popularity against its counterparts such as ISO tanks and barrels and is expected to reach, on a global scale, USD 922.3 million by 2022.
