Understanding Shipping Container Grades/Conditions
NEW 1-TRIP SHIPPING CONTAINERS
After manufacture overseas, containers are shipped around the world to an array of shipping lines that use containers over a leased period of time to ship cargo. When these new containers are shipped it is cost effective for the manufacturer and the country of origin to load the containers with cargo before heading to their respective destinations. By doing this the cargo helps pay for the shipping costs of these containers. These brand new containers are noted as “1-Trip” Shipping Containers as they’ve made one sailing and most likely carried 1 load of cargo on its maiden voyage.
