A Complete Guide to Domestic Container Shipping: Specifications and Procedures

Domestic Container Shipping

In logistics transportation, containerization makes transport an intensive and standardized mode. A container refers to a large cargo container with certain strength, rigidity, and specifications, designed specifically for circulation and reuse. Depending on the type of goods, different types of containers are designed and manufactured, such as dry containers, refrigerated containers, tank containers, open-top containers, and flat rack containers. Using domestic shipping containers for cargo transfer allows loading at the shipper's warehouse and unloading at the consignee's warehouse. When changing vehicles or vessels midway, there is no need to remove and reload the goods from the container, reducing manual loading and unloading costs.
