The most commonly used sizes of containers are 10ft and a 20ft one, however larger ones are also available. The size of shipping containers is determined by the height, width and weight capacity. The height of a container is measured from the ground to the top of the door (the vertical measurement). This is a way of determining the internal volume of the container. The front of the container is the largest part and can extend as far as 3 meters. The tare weight is used in order to determine the weight of the shipping container. The weight does not comprise the cargo or other items inside the container. The weight is determined by weighting the container on a specific platform. The weight is divided by the container dimensions, so that you will know how much cargo it can hold. + +The tare weigh is usually written along the sides of the container. The container also has a unique number. The first three letters indicate the owner of the container, and are registered with the Bureau International des Containers ("BIC"). Then, there are six additional numerical digits. You can check your BIC number online. + +Options + +If the initial expense to buy a shipping container is too expensive for a company or individual to afford then renting (also referred to as leasing or hiring) one could be a cost-effective option.
