Container - description

A container is a very huge metal “box” having measures standardised for mainly land and sea transport of unitised or bulk goods.

 

It was “born” in the USA round the end of the 70’s to be mainly used by local railways companies to move goods coast to coast. Its measurement unit is the “TEU” – acronym standing for twenty-feet equivalent unit. It’s practically the same thing talking about 1 TEU or 1 x 20’ CONTAINER
