Containers are used to transport bulk materials via container ships on seaways. A shipping container is usually made of sturdy material which ranges from reusable steel boxes that are used for intermodal shipment, ubiquitous corrugated boxes, or even wooded pallets. While shipping containers may come in various sizes, the four most popular sizes of container sizes are 8-feet shipping container, 10-feet shipping container, 20-feet shipping container, a 40-feet shipping container. Even among these varieties of sizes, the 20-feet and the 40-feet shipping containers are the most popular containers. The shipping containers are essentially manufactured as per ISO specifications not only to have a hassle-free loading and unloading but also to be capable of withstanding extreme environments and maintain their structural integrity during a voyage.
