Used Shipping Containers

A shipping container is a container with strength suitable to withstand shipment, storage, and handling. Shipping containers range from large reusable steel boxes used for inter modal shipments to the ubiquitous corrugated boxes. The arrival of containers and internationalism revolutionised the shipping industry. Containers could be efficiently stacked, allowing more and more goods to be transported across the seas. Labour costs were dramatically lowered and, since containers were sealed, theft was reduced.
