40ft Shipping container: A great sustainable space
The 40ft shipping container is the biggest standar container for long transportation needs, it is a crucial part of shipments worldwide. These metal structures are designed to be put next to one another and to be stacked in order to fully optimize the space. You can witness this at any port, any ship or even trains and trucks, not a single inch is wasted when it comes to transport these metal boxes.
Standarization for containers started around the second half of the 20th century after several discussions between international and local carriers. Subsequently, these discussions had as a result the stipulation of shape and possible dimensions for the containers, so that they can go from one carrier to another, regardless the kind of transportation means used (boats, ships, planes, trains or trucks). The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)Â oversees nowadays these agreements.
