1. Durability Although shipping container design has not changed much since they were first introduced, the materials used to manufacture them and some of their subtle design features have indeed improved. Newer shipping containers are built with CORTEN anti-corrosive steel, a material designed to be more resistant to the harsh conditions associated with sea travel […]

Shipping container prices continue to rise, and supplies dwindle, thanks in part to nations seeing the benefit of COVID-19 vaccines and relaxation of their restrictions. With winter approaching and retail spending expected to rise, we are also now entering peak trade season, meaning that the effects of container shortages and higher-than-usual prices are going to […]
