Systems and methods for transportation of waxy crude

A method of transporting waxy crude hydrocarbon, the method comprising:

• providing a container having an internal chamber with at least one port, and having a frame around the container, the container being configured for receiving flowable waxy crude into the internal chamber, wherein the container is provided at a refinery location configured for producing the waxy crude hydrocarbon;
• filling the internal chamber of the container with a filling system configured for loading the waxy crude hydrocarbon into the container;
• allowing the waxy crude hydrocarbon to cool and solidify into a non-flowable state;
• transporting the container having the non-flowable waxy crude hydrocarbon with at least one transport vehicle configured to carry the container, wherein the transporting is performed without actively heating the waxy crude hydrocarbon with an active heating system, wherein the transporting is along a transportation route having a beginning at the refinery location and an ending;
• heating the waxy crude hydrocarbon at the ending of the transportation route until flowable;
• and
• removing the flowable waxy crude hydrocarbon from the container with an emptying system at the ending of the transportation route.
