Description
The development of
shipping containers reached a turning point in the late 1970s when
standardization began to take place. Prior to this time numerous designs and
sizes of containers were seen throughout the world. The true intermodal era
began in the 1980s with the expanding world economy, Panama Canal ship size
restrictions, intermodal railway car (wagon) designs and the setting of ISO
standards for international shipping containers.
Todays commonly
seen steel all-corrugated ISO containers still have some variations, primarily
the doors. The new Atlas model will be a standard-height 40-footer which will
exhibit a range of door styles, roofs, and front walls to more closely match the
variations in the prototype containers seen throughout the world.
