Container codes

Vraag jij je ook wel eens af waar al die codes op de zijkanten van K-tainer containers voor staan? Er staat veel informatie op dedeur aan de voorkant van een zeecontainer, bijvoorbeeld het containernummer en het maximale gewicht wat de container kan dragen.

De code van een container is opgemaakt uit 3 onderdelen. Het eerste karakter weergeeft de lengte van de container. Het tweede karakter staat voor de hoogte en breedte van de container. Beide onderdelen worden weergeven in feet en millimeter. 

Karakter drie en vier weergeven samen de specificaties van de container. De specificaties weergeven o.a. of de container geventileerd is, de container aan beide uiteinden geopend kan worden of klimaat gecontroleerd is.

In de onderstaande tabel staan alle karakters en waar deze voor staan.
