Before you go buying containers, you have to decide what you want them for. Are you planning to ship goods in the containers? If so, you need CSC – Convention for Safe Containers – certification testifying that the container is still suitable for safe handling and transportation in a commercial inter-modal transport environment.
Freight Containers Transformed Logistics
Freight containers are standardized shipping containers. Shipping containers have standard dimensions, typically 20’x8’x8.5′ or 40’x8’x8.5′ or 45’x8’x9.5′. They have to be constructed to certain minimum standards of sturdiness to withstand the rigors of long ocean voyages and transfer from one mode of transport to another. Shipping containers meeting the standards can get CSC – Convention for Safe Containers – certification, a must for use in international shipping.

Custom containers include not only containers of non-standard dimensions but also containers rebuilt into houses, shops, garbage bins, and so on. By containers, we mean those large 20’x8’x8′ and larger boxes used to transport everything from heavy machinery to thousands cartons of trinkets (in each box).
