Factors affecting container rental prices– Container type and size: Each type and size has different pricing. Refrigerated and sanitary containers are typically more expensive, ranging from 3.2 – 10 million VND/month. – Container material: Containers are usually made from aluminum or steel. Steel containers are more durable, waterproof, and resistant to impact but heavier and more expensive. Aluminum containers are lighter and offer good storage capacity but are less durable and more prone to damage, making them more affordable. – Transportation cost: Rental prices increase with longer transport distances. – Rental provider: Each provider has different pricing, and rates may vary by region. For example, container rental prices in Hanoi are often higher than in Ho Chi Minh City. |
2. TOP 7 types of cargo containers
Containers are a form of intermodal transport, rectangular in shape and made of durable steel, used for loading onto ships, trains, and trucks. They must comply with ISO standards. Therefore, besides understanding rental prices, it is important to know the available container types to choose the most suitable one.
There are 7 main types of cargo containers as follows:
2.1. Dry container – General purpose container
Dry containers are used for general cargo and are the most commonly used type in sea freight.
2.2. Refrigerated container – Thermal container
Reefer containers have insulated walls and roof, with T-shaped aluminum flooring to allow proper air circulation. They are used for frozen goods, fresh produce, and medical equipment.
2.3. Open-top container
Open-top containers have no roof, making them suitable for oversized cargo like machinery and timber. After loading, they are covered with tarpaulin.
2.4. Platform container
This type has no walls or roof, only a flat platform, suitable for heavy cargo under 30 tons such as machinery or steel coils.
