Container types & dimensions
The dimensions of the common sea containers at a glance: internal dimensions, door opening, tare, payload and capacity. Handy when planning your load.
For planners, shippers and buyers who need to know whether their load fits a 20ft or has to go into a 40ft high cube.
- What are the internal dimensions and the door opening per container type?
- How much can I load before I go over the maximum payload?
- Which type suits cargo that is too tall or too long for a standard container?
Avoiding demurrage & detention

- What can I arrange before arrival to stay inside the free time?
- What usually goes wrong around the last free day?
ADR: what the shipper must provide
Everything we need as the carrier to be allowed to drive an ADR container, in one place. So the trip can start right away.
For shippers moving an ADR container who want to be certain the driver can leave straight away.

HOW TO USE
How to put them to work.
Print it and pin it up
All three are laid out for A4. The container table earns its place next to the planning desk or in the back of the cab.
Share it with your team
There is no form in the way. Forward the pdf to a colleague, a customer or your driver, without anyone having to leave their details.
Ask when in doubt
A checklist never covers every case. If your load sits in a grey area, call the planner instead of guessing.
