Container with an extended cargo capacity

摘要

A container (31) has an extended cargo capacity, planform or footprint and/or body, with inboard or inset portions of corner end fittings (32, 33) with inboard portions disposed at an ISO compatible standard span, but extended outboard to the container outermost extremities; this to address the otherwise mis-match or disconformity between containerisation and palletisation standards; thus two extended 20' span containers can fit snugly end-to-end in tandem within a 40' standard span, such as between a ship hold boundary wall cell guides (63); yet each afford greater or more appropriate internal cargo space for integer palletised load dispositions; whilst allowing mutual container stacking overlay with aligned fittings and countering the risk of lateral misplacement.
