Jacksonville Terminal - 205306 - Container, 20 Foot, Corrugated, Dry - CCNI

Prototype History: Given the prevalence of 40 foot containers in the global shipping/maritime industry, the 20 foot container was a logical choice for smaller cargoes. Given that exactly two 20 foot containers can stack on or be stacked on a 40 foot container, these little brothers are a no-brainer for smaller loads. Cargo ships specially designed for 40 foot containers can usually handle these smaller units without specialized loading equipment or facilities.

Dry containers are meant for non-refrigerated goods and hence are the most common type.

Corrugation in the construction of these containers yields much greater strength (just like with corrugated cardboard for boxes) but is more expensive to fabricate. Due to the extra strength granted by the corrugation, this is a popular type for overseas use.

Road Name History: CCNI is an international company dedicated, since 1930, to the transport of goods by sea, with presence in four continents. As an agile and flexible shipping line, with a worldwide growth and expansion strategy, it has created a powerful transport network, with leadership at a local level as well as in Latin America, Asia, Europe and Africa.

As of March 2015, Hamburg Süd has taken over the container liner activities of Compañía Chilena de Navegación Interoceánica S.A. (CCNI). The Sale and Purchase Agreement was signed by Hamburg Süd and CCNI on 14 February 2015.

Hamburg Süd will continue to operate the CCNI container liner business under the well-established brand name on the main trade routes between the West coast of South America, Asia, Europe and North America respectively.
