It occurs to me that someone might be interested in a few more details about containers. For example, they come in two standard sizes, 20ft long and 40ft long, plus what are known as high cube containers whose inside height dimension is about a foot greater than that of a standard, which is about 7ft 10in. You can also obtain what are known as garment containers, that have only had garments shipped in them, hence they are extremely clean and have never had anything that might be considered toxic, such as an oil product, shipped in them.
All of them have a floor made of a very hard 1 & 1/8th in. plywood, screwed to steel joists that are on 12in spacing. The 20's are the most in demand (I think because the military uses them), and they therefore command a price only slightly lower than that of a 40 footer.
There are more factoids stored in my brain if you are interested.
