| A container of a smaller size fits this car, but what if you are shipping more than one vehicle? |
Containerized transport is the world standard for efficient international ocean freight. Large vessels can be loaded with stacks of containers, maximizing the carrying capacity of the vessels, while also enabling easy compartmentalization of different cargo. This also makes it much less difficult to load and unload the vessel at ports by using cranes.
There are a few different types of containers. The types used most often are as follows:
*Legal weight and weight maximum for steamship line may be lower than this number
20' STANDARD Inside Length 19' 4'' 5.89 m Inside Width 7' 8'' 2.33 m Inside Height 7' 10'' 2.38 m Door Width 7' 8'' 2.33 m Door Height 7' 6'' 2.28 m Capacity 1,172 cubic feet 33.18 cubic meters Tare Weight 4, 916 lbs 2, 229 kgs Maximum Cargo 47, 999* lbs 21, 727* kgs 40' STANDARD Inside Length 39' 5'' 12.01 m Inside Width 7' 8'' 2.33 m Inside Height 7' 10'' 2.38 m Door Width 7' 8'' 2.33 m Door Height 7' 6'' 2.28 m Capacity 2, 390 cubic feet 67.67 cubic meters Tare Weight 8, 160 lbs 3, 701 kgs Maximum Cargo 59, 040* lbs 26, 780* kgs 40' HIGH CUBE Inside Length 39' 5'' 12.01 m Inside Width 7' 8'' 2.33 m Inside Height 8' 10'' 2.69 m Door Width 7' 8'' 2.33 m Door Height 8' 5'' 2.56 m Capacity 2, 694 cubic feet 76.28 cubic meters Tare Weight 8, 750 lbs 9, 968 kgs Maximum Cargo 58, 450* lbs 26, 512* kgs

The better idea we get of the size of what you are shipping, the better we will be able to accurately quote you. Other companies may give you what appears to be a fantastic quote, but will continue adding fees as the shipment continues. K International Transport gets it right from the start, so when you can budget accurately.
