generally can be 20 or 40 feet
20 ': 6.06 x 2.44 x 2.59 (length, width, height)
40': 12.19 x 2, 44 x 2.59
although there are 10 'and 30' containers
20 'also called TEU (Twenty Equivalent Unit) and 40 'FEU (Forty Equivalent Unit)
and in U.S. ports are typically used as the unit FEU capacity of the vessel or loading and unloading while in Asia and Europe most common measure is the CNT
TEU container unit
also divided into:
FCL (full container load) or full container
LCL (less container load) or bulking
by their shape and property there are different types of container:
or Dry Van Box: These are the standard containers. Sealed and without cooling or ventilation.
Bulk or bulk : closed container with holes in their doors that open to connect hose and dry bulk cargo, are constructed of fiberglass and steel
Open Top: In the same measures as above, but open the top. Can stand the goods, but in this case, pay supplements based on how much power is no longer charged for the excess.
Flat Rack: They also lack the side walls and even, cases, front and rear walls. They are used to pay charges and supplements atypical in the same way that the open top.
Open Side: its main characteristic is that it is open on one side, measuring 20 'or 40' ft.se used for larger loads in length that can not be charged for the container door.
Platform: Platform for transporting heavy machinery and other goods or unusual dimensions
Folding is a type of collapsible container which facilitates transport and storage in
ISO Tank empty or tank-container : a stainless steel tank encased in an outer structure as a container to be stowed with them. Insulated or isothermal
: made with insulating materials
Reefer: Refrigerated containers that have a cold storage system and thermostat. Must be connected to the ship and the terminal, even in the truck if possible
Calorific: is isothermal with a heating system to maintain or increase the temperature of the goods
Igloo: as adapting to transport air.
The maximum load may vary and the type of shipping container. Internationally standardized containers over 20 'have a maximum gross weight of about 29 Tons (ie, the load plus the tare or weight of container and 40' of about 32 Tons. Although, how many times the container moves through land from the loading area to the port, there to abide by the laws of each country on truck weights. The tare weight of the container or can go from 1.8 to 4 Tons Tons for 20 'and 3.2 to 4.8 Tons to 40'.
containers are usually made primarily of corrugated steel, aluminum and there are also some other plywood reinforced with fiberglass. Interior is specially coated anti-moisture, to prevent moisture during the trip.
It is considering the establishment of a series of new measures such as eurocontenedor suitable for European pallets (pallets with an area of \u200b\u200b80 cm wide and 120 cm long), but it is far from being a standard, as container ships are prepared for the containers described above.
All containers are alphanumeric identification to track and prevent loss. These codes are usually four points and seven numbers (the latter separated from the series of 6). Since the initial letters of the shipping company. Example: 150 670 4
