Iso Freight Container
Iso Freight Container : Maritime Transport - Transport Equipment (Vessel). An ISO freight container is a unit of transport equipment, which is: i) Of a permanent character and accordingly strong enough to be suitable for repeated use; ii) Specially designed to facilitate the carriage of goods, by one or more mode of transport, without intermediate reloading; iii) Fitted with devices permitting its ready handling, particularly its transfer from one mode of transport to another; iv) So designed as to be easy to fill and empty; v) Having a length of 20 feet or more. In addition, containers should be stackable and have an internal volume of 1 m 3 or more. Swap bodies are excluded. Although without internal volume, and therefore with no internal volume, flats used in maritime transport should be considered to be a special type of container and therefore are included here. For a fuller description, reference should be made to ISO 668 and 1496
