No. If it is not fully loaded, the movement from transportation causes a wave action in the liquid inside the flexitank and it can cause a tsunami-like force from within the container. Under-loading will destroy any flexitank. The guidelines for loading used by the Container Owner Association (COA) is not more or less than 500 litres of the flexitank rated capacity.

Our flexitank is a non-pressurized container and it will keep growing bigger and bigger. At about 4 psi, it will rupture.
