Tanker service gets ISO accreditation

Beira-based Specialized

Transport has become one

of the first cross-border tanker

operators in the region to obtain

ISO 9001 certification.

This is in addition to its OSHAS

18001 (occupational health and

safety) certification.

All customers are benefiting

from the certification of the tanker

fleet as it has raised standards

throughout the different divisions,

which handle out of gauge and

general cargo, according to

managing director Chris Morris.

Specialized also has a tipper fleet

to meet the growing requirements

for all construction and civils needs.

“Our focus is on service,” says

Morris.

The company’s fleet of modern truck/

tractors and semi/tankers complies

with all the latest safety technology.

Designed for local conditions, the

tankers have separate compartments,

each able to carry a different type or

grade of fuel.

Drivers have to pass an on-board

breathalyser test before they can start

the trucks. On-board cameras record

the whole journey.

Tracking devices provide

customers with peace of mind and

the ability to know where their load is

at any time, he says.

Technical teams are on standby

to provide support all along the

routes within Mozambique and

neighbouring Zimbabwe, Zambia,

DRC and Malawi

“As part of the J&J Africa

Group, Specialized is able to

provide a full one-stop service to

its clients,” says Morris.
