Container Specifications
Note: Please note this is for reference only. Individual containers may have different specifications from the measurement shown below.

Shipping container specifications focus on standard ISO sizes (20ft, 40ft, 40ft HC), dimensions (width ~8ft, height ~8.5ft/9.5ft HC), weights (Tare, Payload, Max Gross), and volume.

Common Sizes & Types

This type of container is for general cargo. General cargo should not be over-length, over-width, over-height, over-weight, or in bulk. Containers are constructed of steel for sturdiness and ease of repair.

This type of container is capable of maintaining the temperature of frozen, chilled or warm cargo. A refrigeration unit is built onto the nose of the container and power is provided by a motor generator (when container is on wheels), by terminal (when grounded in a yard) or by the ship (when laden on board).

Air, cold or warm, is supplied to the inside of a container via an air duct system that enters the container from the bottom. Air circulates under, over and through the load before it returns to the refrigeration unit. This circulation is repeated continuously when the unit is in operation.

A number of restrictions apply to transportation for these goods, so they are handled with care to ensure the safety on the sea and on land.

Dangerous goods are categorized into the following categories according to international regulations of IMDG Code (International Maritime Dangerous Goods code):

Category 1: Explosives
  • Substances and articles at risk of mass explosion.
  • Substances and goods that have a risk of explosion but no risk of mass explosion.
  • Substances and goods that have fire hazard, are at a low risk of explosion, have a minor explosive hazard, or both, but not posing a risk of mass explosion.
  • Substances and articles which present no significant hazard
  • Very insensitive material at risk of mass explosion.
  • Very insensitive goods with no risk of mass explosion.
  • Examples: dynamite, blasting caps, flares.
Category 2: Gases
  • Flammable gases.
  • Non-flammable, non-toxic gases.
  • Toxic gases.
  • Examples: propane, oxygen, ammonia.
Category 3: Flammable Liquids
  • Liquids with flash point at or below 60°C.
  • Risk of vapour ignition and fire spread.
  • Examples: gasoline, acetone, paint thinner.
Category 4: Flammable Solids
  • Flammable solids, self-reactive substances and desensitized explosives.
  • Spontaneous ignitable substances.
  • Substances emit flammable gases in contact with water.
  • Examples: matches, magnesium powder, sodium batteries.
Category 5: Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides
  • Oxidizing substances.
  • Organic peroxides.
  • Examples: hydrogen peroxide, ammonium nitrate, bleach powder.
Category 6: Toxic and Infectious Substances
  • Toxic substances.
  • Infectious substances.
  • Examples: pesticides, medical waste, chloroform.
Category 7: Radioactive Material
  • Emit ionizing radiation requiring shielding.
  • Controlled by activity levels.
  • Examples: uranium, medical isotopes, smoke detectors.
Category 8: Corrosive Substances
  • Destroy living tissue or materials on contact.
  • Require secondary containment.
  • Examples: sulphuric acid, sodium hydroxide, wet batteries.
Category 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Substances and Articles
  • Hazards not covered by classes 1-8.
  • Environmental or other risks.
