This type of container is mainly used for long, overweight, light foam, heavy machinery, steel, steel pipes, bare equipment, etc. that are not suitable for general cargo containers or open-top containers.

Bulk containers may be provided with openings for fumigation, as well as fumigation gas outlets, and such containers may be required to remain completely airtight during fumigation.

4. Tank-shaped special container
