| 20ft Dry Container | The 20′ container is the most popular worldwide.

| 40ft Dry Container
|
This container type offers double the cargo capacity of a 20-foot container, making it suitable for a wider range of goods. A key advantage of the 40-foot container is that, while its volume is twice as large, the associated costs are typically only 30–40% higher. Therefore, if the cargo volume can fill a 40-foot container, it is more cost-effective to choose this option. |
