Transshipment of goods

Types of Containers in Sea Freight

Dear business partners,
to help you better navigate the field of sea transportation, below you will find an overview of all container types used for shipping goods by sea.

Shipping containers are primarily used in maritime and road freight transport. There are several types of containers, each designed for specific categories of cargo.

Due to maximum permitted weight limits in various countries, it is not always possible to use the container’s full maximum payload. Individual container dimensions may vary slightly depending on the specific shipping line.
If you are unsure or approaching the limit values, please contact us.
