The Freight Yard - 9906A - Container, 40 Foot, Corrugated, Dry - TMM - Linea Mexicana - 2-Pack set #1

Specific Item Information: Series #9906A to C of three (3) 2-pack Linea Mexicana 40'containers (road numbers unknown)

Model Information: Dual Logo Panel.

Prototype History: The 40 foot container is the king of the container business. It is the most common standard container size used for international and domestic shipping. Most intermodal operations that handle overseas shipping are optimized for this container size. These containers are typically reinforced for loading, unloading and transportation by ship.

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.

We offer our customers integrated logistic services through a specialized fleet of vessels: product tankers, chemical tankers, offshore, tugboats and bulk carriers with high technical capabilities, that enable us to satisfy the particular needs of each of our customers, seeking to optimize time and costs throughout the logistics chain.rnrn
