Dry containers are ideal for transporting non-perishable materials and manufactured goods in bulk. They’re generally considered the ‘standard’ container type and aid in transporting up to 90% of goods annually worldwide.

The capacity and size of your dry container will depend on your requirements. At Boast International, we can organise transportation in various-sized containers to ensure the most efficient shipping of your products.

Dry containers are an economical, unspecialised container option. They demand lower operating costs due to their standardisation compared to specialised alternatives and compatibility with most handling equipment.

Dry containers aren’t suitable for transporting temperature-controlled or hazardous goods, as they’re designed for non-sensitive products only.
