Is xylenes transportation safe?

Xylenes transport is mainly carried out by sea or inland waterways, but also by truck and rail tanks and is subject to a number of international guidelines for safe handling of cargoes. In Europe and the USA, xylenes transport meets rigorous standards that exceed those prescribed by the European or American authorities. This forms part of our voluntary commitment to the responsible handling and transport of aromatics.
