Despite the presence of the adjective "Sea" in the phrase, this universal means for transporting goods by sea has found the widest application on land. The company "Global container service" (official site https://www.gcs-reefer.com/ru/katalog/morskie-konteynery-40- i-20-futov-bu ) realizes sea containers of 2 classical international dimensional parameters:
- High Cube 20 English feet - external dimensions 6.058 m long, 2.438 m wide and 2.896 m high.
- High Cube with 40ft internal volume - dimensions differ only in length, which is 12.192m.
A durable metal structure allows you to reliably keep the cargo placed in it both during transportation and storage from a variety of external factors (precipitation, exposure to solar radiation), and also to ensure its safety with the help of locking devices. To improve the quality of logistics of goods transported using sea containers specially designed and used for them:
- Railway platforms.
- Semi-trailers for road transport.
- Facilities for loading and unloading.
The practical side of standard containers is that they can be stacked one on top of the other up to 10 at a time. It is this feature that has found the widest application in their use in other areas.

Each of them is a separate room, equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. But, such a project is rather an exception, in most cases containers are used as:
- · Ready cold warehouse.
- · Change houses or technical rooms.
- Workshop or road car service.
