sided. A distinction may be drawn between the following types of
standard container: |

|

on one or both sides |
In addition, the various types of standard container also differ in
dimensions and weight, resulting in a wide range of standard containers.
Standard containers are mainly used as 20' and 40' containers.
Containers with smaller dimensions are very seldom used. Indeed, the
trend is towards even longer dimensions, e.g. 45'. The principal
components of a standard container are shown in following diagram of a
