2GO Special Container and Value-Added Services, Inc. (SCVASI) is expanding its ISO tank fleet to strengthen its capability to move coconut-based products and biofuels for export markets.
The additional units are expected to increase SCVASI’s ISO tank operations by at least 40%, the transportation and logistics company said in a statement.
SCVASI said it is scaling up its ISO tank operations to meet increasing demand from coconut processors and biofuel producers and support domestic distribution and international trade.
“SCVASI has been one of the pioneers of ISO tank and cold chain services in the Philippines. We will continue to lead the industry by investing in solutions that help coconut farmers, processors, and exporters move their products efficiently across the country and around the world,” SCVASI president Gener Lim said.
The Philippines is one of the world’s top producers and exporters of coconut products. SCVASI noted that industry and government data show the country as a major global source of coconut oil, virgin coconut oil, oleochemicals, desiccated coconut, and coconut water. These products serve key markets in the United States, Europe, China, and Southeast Asia and are used in food manufacturing, personal care, cosmetics, industrial applications, and renewable energy.
Moreover, recent developments in trade and market access are also expected to improve the competitiveness of Philippine coconut exports, which may contribute to higher volumes in 2026 and beyond.
Planned increases in the mandated coconut methyl ester biodiesel blend are expected to drive higher production and trade activity across the biofuels sector. This will raise demand for both coconut-based exports and essential raw materials, creating greater need for reliable ISO tank logistics to support bulk liquid imports and exports.
With global demand for coconut-derived oils and ingredients remaining strong, SCVASI said its investment is aligned with the operational needs of exporters who rely on secure bulk-liquid logistics, cold-chain handling, and consistent shipping capacity.
Last September, SCVASI also acquired two new ISO tanks, which also supports the expected rise in demand as coconut-based exports continue to grow in major international markets.

SCVASI said its expanded capacity ensures that food-grade liquids, chemicals, and temperature-sensitive derivatives are transported safely across domestic routes and international gateways.
With its specialized assets and technical expertise, SCVASI said it is well positioned to support a wide range of import and export requirements.
Coconut oils, oleochemicals, and other bulk liquids require strict food-grade, chemical-grade, and safety handling. ISO tank logistics provide the secure and stable transport needed for these products, making SCVASI a vital partner in the export supply chain.
The additional ISO tank units are part of SCVASI’s long-term strategy to support industries that rely on specialized transport. These investments also build on SCVASI’s existing fleet, which will continue to expand through 2026.
SCVASI said it also offers custom brokerage services that support both local and international suppliers, “enabling the efficient movement of raw materials and finished products into and out of the Philippines through integrated land and sea logistics solutions.”
