Container ship capacity is calculated in 20-foot units (TEU). Typical loads are either a combination of 20-foot and 40-foot (2-TEU) ISO-standard containers.    The two most popular sizes are 20-foot and 40 foot (other larger sizes also available) used for loading, transporting and unloading goods. Containers are commonly used in ships, trucks and trains.
	Shipping containers are available in a variety of types, such as open end, open side, open top, flat rack, reefer (refrigerated), tank (liquid bulk)... If you are unsure on your container size requirements, contact NORMAN LOGISTICS and we will determine the ideal container for your specific goods.

When requesting a quote from a freight forwarder, be as precise as you can be about your shipping commodity, in order to make sure you don’t get surprised with extra changes. You have to clearly mention into your shipping instructions to the freight forwarder as much as possible specific details of your shipment.
