Capacity/Weight (Container)
Definition
Container Weight refers to the weight of a shipping container when it is empty or unloaded. It is an important consideration in the supply chain as it affects various aspects of logistics and transportation, including loading, stowage, and weight restrictions imposed by transportation modes and regulations. The container weight, along with the weight of the cargo being loaded, must be taken into account to ensure that the total weight remains within safe limits and complies with legal requirements.
