The internet and the growth of refrigerated container shipping means sizes and rates are standardized. You can be pretty confident you will get the same standard of container and service, and therefore a guarantee of your goods arriving in peak condition, using any reputable broker anywhere on the globe.

Because of the greater potential for harm coming to a refrigerated cargo the industry tends to take extra special care when building, refurbishing and supplying container units. Good companies will not only guarantee the condition of the container, they will test it before every period of service.

Reefers store goods between +25C and -25C so even frozen foods will always remain in deep freeze. Many suppliers will include butcher boxes, racks and shelving as required, turning the shipping container into a mobile cool room. Refrigerated containers come in single phase 240v and 3 phase 415v power supplies and use standard plugs that are compatible with industrial refrigeration plugs the world over.

Because these units have their own generator and refrigeration plants inbuilt, they are often used at major events and in remote mining camps as storage facilities for food and beverages. They are easily craned onto a truck bed or may even reside permanently on a trailer. They can then be trucked wherever needed, transferred to ships or trains and once again set up and operate. All the time the contents remain cooled or frozen as required.

Refrigerated shipping containers have added a new degree of versatility to our modern lives.

Consider these factors when deciding if you need an insulated or refrigerated container:

• How sensitive is the cargo to high and low temperatures and changes in temperature?

• Given the specific distribution system from door to door, what is the worst case expectations in terms of time taken and temperatures experienced?

• Are there regulatory requirements either at point of departure or destination?

• What is the specific combination of packaging components and materials in use?

Some items don’t store well in some forms of packaging. As well there can be chemical reactions simply by placing two different items adjacent to each other, even if they are in approved containers. You must know the properties and hazards posed by your cargo and its packaging.

If the journey is liable to run the risk of being delayed for any reason (industrial dispute, mechanical breakdown, volume of traffic, natural disaster or inclement weather etc) then that will effect the mode of transportation.

Some cargoes must maintain a temperature that varies less than a few degrees, an insulated shipping container may not guarantee that standard of performance. Consider the risk and potential harm or loss if the container is delayed for any reason. Will the insulation do the job or do you need to move to a refrigerated container?

When shipping international cargoes around, keep in mind the temperature variations along the route. A steel storage container shipped from London to Tokyo in January will experience cold, heat, humidity and back to cold again. Steel storage containers do absorb the heat and radiate it inside the container, the same for cold. Insulated shipping containers repel a lot of the heat and cold and maintain fairly stable interior temperatures.

Shipping container prices for insulated units will be higher than for plain steel storage containers and container shipping rates might be higher also as they may not be so freely stacked as most ordinary cargo can be.

1. Buying & Selling Shipping Containers

Shipping containers for sale are offered according to their condition. Basically you pay more for one in good condition than bad condition.

While this sounds obvious there are a few things to take note of that you can use to negotiate a better deal over, or factor in whether it is worth your while to buy that particular container unit.

First of all if it is to be used for the purpose of shipping cargo across the sea, it must be sea worthy and up to international standards. It must be strong enough to withstand being on the bottom of a six stack of containers, all filled to the brim with loose cargo. It must be waterproof and weatherproof. Weatherproof means it can withstand the onslaught of the seas in heavy weather. A cubic metre of sea water weighs a metric ton (or tonne – 1000kg or 2200lbs).

Keep in mind that not all shipping containers are built to be used on ships. Many are only designed to be transported by truck or train. These containers are not as strong or weatherproof as sea going units as they don’t have to withstand the harsher elements and greater forces faced at sea.

Being made of steel, no matter what the intended use of the container may be, it should be free of rust. Look both inside and outside the container and particularly on the top and bottom where it might be easy to miss deep scratching, a patch of rust or some bubbling in the paint. Most rust occurs in the seams at the corners first where microscopic air holes are left during the welding process. These allow the ingress of tiny amounts of sea water and the rusting begins.

The doors are another area of concern to be inspected. Do the levers and opening and locking mechanisms work properly? Can the unit doors be closed let alone the container made secure? Are doors a factor or do you intend to remove them and replace them with your own doors or windows anyway? If you are buying a container to use as a shed or housing unit you could save money by choosing one with dodgy doors. While it would negate the sale to someone shipping cargo to China it might make the unit a bargain for you.

How good is the interior? Many containers have plywood floors and these can take a hammering in the course of daily life for most containers. Are there any insect infestations or animals hiding in the corners and crevices? Containers used on ships are often deloused by quarantine authorities but some units for sale may have been standing in a stack in a yard for a long time and have attracted unwelcome fauna.

A few years ago a container that arrived in Japan from Australia carried hundreds of venomous Red Back spiders, a cousin to the North American Black Widow. While it waited in a holding yard the spiders had made a home inside the container, bred and while on voyage hundreds of baby spiders had hatched. The report on the news caused something of a mild panic among many Japanese, unfamiliar with poisonous spiders in their country let alone possibly in their homes.

In Guam they have a problem with snakes, many of which make it into air portable and sea going containers, often lying between two units in a stack. The same problem has occurred with containers leaving African ports as well as those from South America. The rule is to ask questions about the history of the container and be alert.

Always check the container yourself before accepting delivery. If that is not possible, use a reputable broker or dealer in second hand containers as they will check for you and refund or replace as necessary. Of course, always ask for a discount, they can only say yes or no and the odds are at least 50/50 they will say yes!

Of course the first advantage container housing units offer is portability. Being able to relocate them via truck and crane adds to the versatility. The next advantage is the cost. Per square foot, shipping containers offer some of the best value building available, not to mention the green benefits of being totally recyclable.

These containers are fully insulated, wired for electricity and come complete with plumbing in the kitchen and bathroom areas. They are totally self contained and can be opened up and other containers joined to give very large, flow through living areas.

Another application is on land where the use is short or medium term. Once the building is no longer needed it can be easily removed and the land used for other purposes. Temporary accommodation in time of natural disaster, visitor housing for main sporting events like the Olympics and other uses quickly spring to mind.

Oil fields, mining camps, refugee camps and even urban schools needing more classroom space can all benefit from adapting sea containers to housing requirements. An Australian inventor, Sean Godsell, has even designed a unit that has its own roof, water catchment and solar energy panels as well as built in furniture and plumbing inside. Called ‘Future Shack’, the entire unit can easily be packed and shipped or pre-positioned anywhere in the world ready to meet any challenge.

In Far North Queensland there is a rainforest research station built from 20 foot shipping containers. It was strong enough to survive Category 5 Cyclone Larry with local wind gusts up to 283km/h (175mp/h). Another Aussie application is a FUBA (Fighting In Built Up Areas) training facility made up from containers laid out to provide an urban, multi-storey training environment for anti-terrorism training for the Australian Defence Forces.

Countries that import huge quantities of manufactured goods from China and elsewhere such as the USA have a glut of containers piling up in harbor side yards on both coasts. These containers cost less than US$2500 to make and returning the empty container would cost between a third and a half of that initial expense. Far better to sell them as second hand or used units and then convert them to other uses.
