Ocean Freight: A Look at Cargo Containers

Cargo containers have become a staple of the ocean freight industry. With a sturdy design created to withstand the burden of moving large shipments over long distances, cargo shipping containers increase the efficiency with which goods are moved from one destination to another. Shipping containers are available in different sizes, such as 20 foot, 40 foot, 45 foot, etc. Shippers can choose to use an entire container, or they can share container space with other shipments.

Of course, not all ocean freight cargo containers are the same. There are different containers for different types of cargo. For instance, if you’re shipping goods that need to be refrigerated, there are cargo containers that are refrigerated, providing climate control for your perishables.

Some cargo containers are designed with extra-wide doors, allowing for larger goods to easily be loaded and unloaded into the container. You also want to make certain your cargo container uses heavy locks to secure your shipment.
