ISO Container Market

ISO containers are international intermodal containers manufactured according to the specifications outlined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO containers are designed for ship, rail and truck and the design covers everything from size to the quality of steel used for construction and the allowed gross weight.

The basis of the ISO container is to assure that the container withstands extreme environments and structural integrity placed on it through its travels over road, rail or water routes. The ISO standardization also ensures that the containers meet the size and durability requirements to allow them to stack safely and uniformly on transport systems.

Inspection of ISO containers is done after every thirty months to ensure the quality and specifications of the container. Twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU’s) is the basic unit to measure the volume of ISO container and the building block for expressing shipping capacity.

ISO containers can be classified according to types such as dry containers, refrigerated (reefer) container, tank container, open top container, insulated container and flat rack container and are used to transport wide range of products including consumer goods, industrial transport and others.
