CONTAINER SHIPPING

Container shipping is a method of transporting cargo by loading it into a standard shipping container that is then loaded onto a cargo ship. Containers are typically 20' 40' & 45', and can be loaded and sealed at the point of origin, then transported by truck, train, or ship to the final destination. Container shipping is considered to be a cost-effective and efficient way to transport large quantities of cargo over long distances and is widely used in international trade.

 

There are many types of cargo that can be shipped in a container, including:

 

  • Manufactured goods such as electronic devices, machinery, and household appliances

  • Raw materials such as minerals, metals, and agricultural products

  • Consumer products such as clothing, furniture, and toys

  • Food and beverages

  • Construction materials like lumber and cement

  • Pharmaceuticals and medical equipment

  • Chemicals and hazardous materials, if they meet the safety standard

  • Artwork, antiques and other valuable items

  • Automobile and heavy equipment

  • Any other items that can be safely packed and secured inside the container
