It can standardize dozens of tons of giant cargo, and on this basis, gradually realize a logistics system consistent with global ships, ports, routes, roads, transfer stations, bridges, tunnels, and multimodal transportation. It can be said that it is a great creation in human history. One of the miracles.

　　Storage containerWhat are the international standards?

　　Storage containerIn the early stage of transportation, the structure and specifications of containers are different, which affects the international circulation of containers. It is necessary to formulate international common standards for containers to facilitate the development of container transportation. Container standardization in sea, land and air transport, container as a common transport unit, not only can improve the versatility and exchange, but also improve the reliability and economy of container transport, and promote the development of international container multimodal transport. At the same time, the standardization of containers provides the basis for the selection, design and manufacture of container transportation tools and handling machinery, so that container transportation can be connected with each other and become a professional and efficient transportation system. According to the different scope of use, there are four kinds of container standards: international standards, national standards, regional standards and company standards.

Refers to the international standard container constructed and used in accordance with the international standards established by the 104th Technical Committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

　　Storage containerStandardization has undergone a development process. Since its establishment in 1961, the ISO/TC104 Technical Committee of the International Organization for Standardization has made many supplements, additions, additions, and deletions to international container standards. The current international standards are 1 series with 13 types, the width is the same (2438mm), and the length is 4 Kinds (12192mm, 9125mm and 600mm)

　Storage containerWhat are the national standards?

Governments refer to international standards, taking into account the specific circumstances of their own countries, to develop their own container standards.

China's current national standard "container external dimensions and rated weight" (GB1413-2008) in the container of various types of external dimensions, limit deviation and rated weight.

　　Storage containerWhat are the regional standards?

These container standards are developed by local organizations based on the special circumstances of the region, and these containers are only applicable to the region. Containers built according to the container standards set by the European Union of International Railways (VIC).

　　Storage containerWhat are the company standards?

Some large container shipping companies are based on the specific circumstances and conditions of the head office to develop container shipping company standards, mainly within the scope of the company's transport. It's like a 35ft container from the American Land and Sea Company.

In addition, there are many non-standard containers in the world. Non-standard length containers include 35ft containers from the U.S. Sea and Land Corporation and 45ft and 48ft containers from the President's Steamship Company. There are non-standard height containers, mainly 9ft and 9.5ft height containers. Due to the driving force of economic interests such as non-standard width containers 8.2ft width containers, the total weight of 20ft containers in the world is increasing, reaching 24ft, which is generally welcomed. As China's economy continues to take off, China's import and export trade is becoming more and more frequent, and the use of containers is also more widely used in the market.
