Most commodities that we wear and use everyday has traveled miles before it reached you. Normally this journey has been made in cargo containers. These are specialized containers that protect the goods and in case of food items, keep it healthy for long. So we should be thankful to these containers, the carriers and the workers who are involved in this trade.

In today’s age of specialization goods are manufactured far from the area of distribution. Often goods are manufactured for the global community. In such cases goods are transported across the world in huge containers. These containers are carried via planes and ships (mostly). You will see these huge trucks carrying cargo crossing deserts and highways. They travel from on point of the country to another in continuous journey so that we get the products whenever we want. These cargo containers are huge giants. Their size and shape has changed over the years because the type of goods thay carry has changed. The bigger size is due to the fact that the manufactures can get the cargo across to the destination in one trip. More the trip, more the end consumers have to pay, as it increases the transport cost for a unit of the product. However, these sizes are standard and in tandem with the storing facilities of ships and trains. After all these cargo containers will ultimately need to be carried in trains or ships. The smallest cargo container is 6.1 meters in length. However, the 12.2 meter containers are used most of the time. This is the optimum size that is used. Other size variations include 13.7 meters and 14.6 meters in length. The maximum size of a container is 16.2 meters and is seldom used. Most containers in the world are built in China.
