The classification of goods in international trade is generally divided into bulk cargo and suitable for containers. At present, container transport is basically used in the trade of containerized goods on the international shipping trunk line, but with the growth of the world economy and the transfer of manufacturing bases, the economy of the Asia-Pacific region, dominated by China, not only increases the demand for containers in its own domestic trade, but also prolongs the boom cycle of the world economy.
According to a research report by the Institute of Maritime Economics and Logistics (ISL) in Bremen, Germany, the rapid growth of China's economy has driven the rapid growth of the world's merchant fleet, and the chartering index has also reached a record high. In the world's merchant fleet, the container fleet is the fastest growing.

The maximum length, width and height dimensions inside the container. The height is the distance from the bottom of the box to the bottom of the top of the box, the width is the distance between the two inner lining boards, and the length is the distance from the inner side of the box door to the inner lining board of the end wall. It determines the content of the container and the maximum size of the goods in the box. International standard container refers to the international standard container constructed and used according to the international standards formulated by the 104th Technical Committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). What are the international standard container sizes? Let's take a look:
There are 13 specifications of international standard containers, with the same width (2438mm), four lengths (12192mm, 9125mm, 6058mm, 2991mm) and four heights (2896mm, 2591mm, 2438mm, 2438mm).
Wide no matter
10GP/20GP/20HC/30GP/40GP40HC // 45HC/52HC are 2438mm(8 feet), 2591mm(8.5 feet) high for ordinary GP boxes, 2896mm(9.5 feet) long for ultra-high (HQ or HC) boxes 20 feet 6058mm 40 feet 12192mm long.
All of the above are nominal sizes, and each box actually has errors, which are specified in detail in international standards.
