An intermodal container, often called a shipping container, or cargo container, (or simply "container") is a large metal crate designed and built for intermodal freight transport, meaning these containers can be used across different modes of transport – such as from ships to trains to trucks – without unloading and reloading their cargo.

This is a list of the 30 largest container shipping companies as of February 2024, according to Alphaliner, ranked in order of the twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) capacity of their fleet. [1] In January 2022, MSC overtook Maersk for the container line with the largest shipping capacity for the first time since 1996. [ 2 ]
ISO 668 – Series 1 freight containers – Classification, dimensions and ratings is an ISO international standard which nominally classifies intermodal freight shipping containers, and standardizes their sizes, measurements and weight specifications.
A container ship (also called boxship or spelled containership) is a cargo ship that carries all of its load in truck-size intermodal containers, in a technique called containerization. Container ships are a common means of commercial intermodal freight transport and now carry most seagoing non-bulk cargo.
Containerization is a system of intermodal freight transport using intermodal containers (also called shipping containers, or ISO containers). [1] Containerization, also referred as container stuffing or container loading, is the process of unitization of cargoes in exports.
After the year 2006, the largest container ships in regular operation are capable of carrying in excess of 15,000 TEU. [8] [9] On board ships they are typically stacked up to seven units high. A key consideration in the size of container ships is that larger ships exceed the capacity of important sea routes such as the Panama and Suez canals.
Hapag and NDL continued to compete until they established a joint-venture container line. The "Hapag-Lloyd Container Line", founded in 1967 and operating from 1968 onward, was established to share the huge investments related to the containerisation of the fleets. The two companies finally merged on 1 September 1970, under the name Hapag-Lloyd. [4]
