Governed by ISO 668 (series-1 external dimensions) and ISO 1496-1 (open-top variant). Figures are drawn from the Blue Water Shipping container specification toolbox. Open-top tare and payload vary more between manufacturers than dry or reefer types do, so confirm against the CSC plate before quoting firm figures.
