🔍 Key Concepts

• High cube container physical dimensions and how they differ from standard containers • Meaning of stowage factor (volume occupied per ton of cargo) • Relationship between cargo density and container size/volume

💭 Think About

• Think about why you would need extra internal height in a container. What type of cargo benefits most from more cubic space rather than more weight capacity? • If a cargo is low density, does it fill up space first or reach weight limits first? How would a taller container help with that? • Which option describes cargo that is limited by volume instead of by weight?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice best matches cargo that takes up a lot of space but doesn’t weigh much • Eliminate any option that focuses on very heavy, concentrated loads – is that what high cube containers are built for? • Consider whether fragility or density/volume is the key design driver for a high cube container
