Sea containers are reliable transport units for many types of transportation
The share of sea containers in the total cargo flow of modern logistics of packaged goods is more than 80%. In physical terms, more than 10 million TEU of cargo is shipped annually in containers by sea. An easy calculation can be made from this figure, estimating that the total volume of shipping containers providing transport links exceeds 2 million units. This is of great importance for shipping containers. It should be borne in mind that containers transported by sea, regardless of their type and size, and everyone knows 20-foot and 40-foot sea containers, must be strong and resilient in terms of internal and external impact, therefore, each sea container, when undergoing a depot inspection, has a talman's conclusion on its compliance with shipment. When a tallman rejects a container, the latter must be repaired or written off. The final decision belongs to the owner of the shipping container. Shipping containers are often damaged during transportation, although they have a steel body. As practice shows, new shipping containers have become more durable, but the damage they cause remains the same as for a used shipping container. With an awkward crane operation, the container may get a defect that will not affect its further use during shipping and other shipments, but if the container is allowed to leak, it is quite dangerous to release such containers into the sea. It is not always possible to notice the fragility of the wall or roof of the container, it can prevent leaks, but during sea transportation, caustic sea water will easily find a thin element in the structure and penetrate inside.
