1. What are the most used container models?
DRY BOX 20 or 40 feet:
The Dry Box container is suitable for non-perishable goods.
HIGH CUBE 40 feet:
The High Cube container has a greater volume capacity, so it is suitable for large quantities of goods.
FLAT RACK 20 or 40 feet:
The Flat Rack is used to transport large dimensions, as it does not have the side walls (right and left) or the top (roof).
OPEN TOP 20 or 40 feet:
The Open Top container is open at the top, for this reason it is suitable for loads that occupy more than the standard height of a common container.
REEFER 20 or 40 feet:
The Reefer container is used for cargo that requires temperature control. An interesting curiosity is that regardless of the shipping company, it will always be painted in white.
Container Platform:
This type of container requires lashing, as it does not have any walls/sides.
Tank Container:
The Tank container is suitable for transporting chemical products or even beverages.
Container Bulk (bulk carrier):
This container is designed for bulk cargo, as it has some openings and hatches for loading and unloading products. It is widely used for transporting commodities such as grains, sands, and stones.
