A transport tank system includes a molded thermoplastic tank defining an aperture therethrough and having a discharge end and an opposing end, the thermoplastic tank being rigidly configured for holding a consumable cargo received through the aperture and including a material resistant to passage of oxygen to preserve the consumable cargo. The tank is capable of standing alone for storing the consumable cargo, or the tank can be loaded into a standard dry box container to convert the dry box container into a bulk liquid transport container.

1. A thermoplastic bulk transport tank comprising: a discharge end and an opposing end opposite the discharge end, and further comprising an upper surface defining a manhole therethough,the discharge end being substantially frustopyramidally shaped, having a planar base that is proximal to the opposing end, a terminal planar surface distal to the opposing end, and a discharge connection proximate to and extending from the discharge end,the discharge end further having a first panel and a corresponding second panel located therein, the first panel being recessed from the terminal planar surface and the second panel being coincident with the terminal planar surface,the bulk transport tank being rigidly configured for holding a consumable cargo. 2. The bulk transport tank of claim 1, wherein the bulk transport tank is a rotationally molded thermoplastic tank. 3. The bulk transport tank of claim 1, wherein the bulk transport tank is comprised of polyethylene. 4. The bulk transport tank of claim 1, wherein the bulk transport tank includes a material resistant to the passage of oxygen. 5. The bulk transport tank of claim 4, wherein the material includes an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer resin. 6. The bulk transport tank of claim 1, wherein the first panel is larger than the second panel, the first panel being located on the same side of the thermoplastic tank as the discharge connection. 7. The bulk transport tank of claim 1, wherein the discharge connection is in communication with an internal surface of the bulk transport tank and is configured to transfer the consumable cargo into and out of the bulk transport tank. 8. The bulk transport tank of claim 7, wherein the discharge connection extends from the discharge end in the direction of the terminal surface and terminates at a plane between the base and the terminal surface of the discharge end. 9. The bulk transport tank of claim 1, wherein the bulk transport tank further comprises a component selected from the group consisting of an air vent, a hatch, a handhold, and a heating device. 10. The bulk transport tank of claim 1, wherein the manhole is reinforced by a plurality of reinforcing members. 11. The bulk transport tank of claim 10, further comprising a manlid configured for mating with the manhole. 12. The bulk transport tank of claim 1, wherein the bulk transport tank further comprises a plurality of reinforcing members configured to increase the rigidity of the bulk transport tank, the reinforcing members being integral to the bulk transport tank. 13. A bulk transport system comprising: (a) a thermoplastic bulk transport tank comprising a discharge end and an opposing end opposite the discharge end, and further comprising an upper surface defining a manhole therethrough, a first major axis of the thermoplastic tank being oriented longitudinally between the discharge end and the opposing end and a first minor axis of the thermoplastic tank being oriented transverse to the first major axis and being disposed between the discharge end and the opposing end,the discharge end being substantially frustopyramidally shaped, having a planar base that is proximal to the opposing end, a terminal planar surface distal to the opposing end, and a discharge connection proximate to and extending from the base,the discharge end further having a first panel and a corresponding second panel located therein, the first panel being recessed from the terminal planar surface and the second panel being coincident with the terminal planar surface, the bulk transport tank being rigidly configured for holding a consumable cargo;(b) providing a transport container having a second major axis and a second minor axis, the second major and minor axes being complementary to the first major and minor axes of the bulk transport tank, the transport container having walls, a floor, and a ceiling, thereby defining an interior space for receipt of the bulk transport tank; and(c) a fluid-operated cylinder, a first end of the fluid cylinder being attached to a perimeter of the manhole and an opposite end of the fluid cylinder being attached to the ceiling of the transport container to facilitate movement of the bulk transport tank into and out of the transport container. 14. The bulk transport system of claim 13, wherein the fluid cylinder is a hydraulic cylinder. 15. The bulk transport system of claim 13, wherein the fluid cylinder is a pneumatic cylinder. 16. The bulk transport system of claim 13, wherein the first panel is larger than the second panel, the first panel being located on the same side of the bulk transport tank as the discharge connection. 17. The bulk transport system of claim 13, wherein the transport container further comprising a first door and a second door, the first and second doors being located at an end thereof, the discharge end of the thermoplastic tank being positioned proximate the first and second doors. 18. A method of moving a thermoplastic tank into and out of a transport container, the method comprising: (a) providing a thermoplastic bulk transport tank comprising a discharge end, an opposing end opposite the discharge end, and further comprising an upper surface defining a manhole therethrough, a first major axis of the thermoplastic tank being oriented longitudinally between the discharge end and the opposing end and a first minor axis of the thermoplastic tank being oriented transverse to the first major axis and being disposed between the discharge end and the opposing end,the discharge end being substantially frustopyramidally shaped, having a planar base that is proximal to the opposing end, a terminal planar surface distal to the opposing end, and a discharge connection proximate to and extending from the base,the discharge end further having a first panel and a corresponding second panel located therein, the first panel being recessed from the terminal planar surface and the second panel being coincident with the terminal planar surface,the thermoplastic tank being rigidly configured for holding a consumable cargo;(b) providing a transport container having a second major axis and a second minor axis, the second major and minor axes being complementary to the first major and minor axes of the thermoplastic tank, the transport container having walls, a floor, and a ceiling, thereby defining an interior space for receipt of the thermoplastic tank; and(c) operatively installing a fluid-operated cylinder by attaching a first end of the fluid cylinder to a perimeter of the manhole and attaching an opposite end of the fluid cylinder to the ceiling of the transport container, such that retraction of a piston of the fluid cylinder causes the thermoplastic tank to move into the transport container and extension of the piston of the fluid cylinder causes the thermoplastic tank to move out of the transport container.
