A Customized Shipping Container is a special metal box used to load goods for ocean transportation. Due to the increasingly important status of Customized Shipping Containers in modern logistics, the following will be divided into four parts to discuss their performance characteristics.

1. Stability

The sea container has extremely strong stability, which can ensure that the goods will not be subject to large vibration and shock during sea transportation. This stability mainly comes from its excellent structural design and the use of high-durability materials. In addition, since modern Containers are loaded and unloaded by hoisting machinery during transportation, their firm structural design plays an important role in bearing the heavy pressure of hoisting machinery.

2. Sealing

A major difficulty in sea transportation is moisture-proof, so sea containers need to ensure a high degree of airtightness. Modern containers adopt a bilateral locking system to ensure the airtightness of the box. During the production process, the compartments of the container are also equipped with corresponding seals, such as door sealing strips, etc., which effectively guarantee its moisture-proof performance. In addition, modern containers are also equipped with ventilation holes to adjust the temperature and humidity inside the container and keep the goods in good condition during transportation.

3. Economy

Compared with traditional loading and unloading methods, the use of sea containers can greatly improve economic benefits. Specifically, since the container can be directly loaded and unloaded by hoisting machinery, the time-consuming and labor-intensive situation of traditional manual loading and unloading methods is avoided. In addition, compared with ground freight, one shipment of sea containers can carry a large amount of goods, thereby reducing transportation costs.

4. Standardization

customized shipping containers are a standardized mode of transportation that allows for global consistency. Maritime transportation requires multimodal transportation, and the standardized design of containers can ensure seamless connection between different transportation modes and further improve transportation efficiency. In addition, containers can also take advantage of container yards to facilitate multimodal transport.

To sum up, Customized Shipping Containers have four performance characteristics: stability, airtightness, economy and standardization. Among them, stability and sealing are the basis for ensuring the safety of goods, economy is the main reason why containers have become the most mainstream mode of transportation in the world, and standardization makes them an indispensable part of global trade.
