tørrcontainer

A tørrcontainer, often translated as a dry cargo container or simply a dry container, is the most common type of shipping container. It is a standardized intermodal container primarily designed for the transport of general, non-perishable, non-hazardous goods. These containers are typically constructed from steel and are completely enclosed, offering protection from weather elements such as rain, wind, and sun. They feature two standard sets of doors, one at each end, allowing for easy loading and unloading.

Tørrcontainers come in various standard sizes, most commonly 20-foot and 40-foot lengths, with corresponding width and height dimensions. Their modular design facilitates efficient handling and transportation across different modes, including ships, trains, and trucks, without requiring the cargo to be re-packed. The robust construction ensures the security of the goods during transit. Inside, the walls are usually plain, without any special climate control features, making them unsuitable for goods requiring refrigeration or specific atmospheric conditions. The simplicity and versatility of the tørrcontainer have made it a cornerstone of global trade.
