Shipping containers<\/strong><\/a> are not only roomy, but also safe for the goods being transported. This makes sea freight the most common mode of transportation used by exporters and importers around the world. It is important to choose the right size container<\/strong> – one that suits our needs. <\/p>

Choosing the right size container not only saves money when it comes to shipping. It’s also the key to ensuring that the goods inside them will be stored in proper as well as safe conditions. <\/p>

Identify the type of cargo you will be transporting<\/h2>

The first step in determining the right size container for our needs is to determine the type of cargo we intend to ship or store. Will it be dry or liquid goods? Will they be heavy or bulky? Or will they require appropriate conditions, i.e. cooling, insulation, ventilation or heating? For this purpose, let us introduce you to our offer. <\/p>

The smallest in our offer is the 8DC<\/strong><\/a> container – 2.4m x 2.20m<\/strong>. It weighs less than a ton, and thanks to its small size, it can serve as an ideal storage container on any property that can accommodate 3 Euro pallets. However, if we need a bit more space for storing, for example, household items, the ideal compromise between the eight and the standard twenty will be the 10DC<\/strong><\/a> container – 2.9m x 2.43m<\/strong>, which can already accommodate 5 europallets. It is also available as a refrigerated container. <\/p>

20-foot containers from the Seabox range<\/h2>

Of course, our offer could not miss the most popular containers, namely 20-foot containers. And what can we fit in a standard 1TEU<\/a> container? For example, the contents of a three-bedroom house, 100 washing machines, 400 televisions, or 48,000 bananas. If that’s not enough, we have different variants to choose from, depending on your needs; <\/p>
