We are suppliers of new and used marine shipping containers in Southern Africa for rental and sales.
There used to be two factories in South Africa that made new containers, but unfortunately didn't survive. This has been a world-wide phenomenon with most shipping containers now manufactured in China. Secondhand containers are a hot commodity when they reach the end of their shipping life.

Secondhand containers are a hot commodity when they reach the end of their shipping life. In South Africa there is an informal grading system which attempts to catogorise these containers according to their cosmetic appearance. Unfortunately this is not very scientific and is not consistent across suppliers.
Here's a comparison of what would fit in 20ft and 40ft shipping containers: The inside dimensions of a 20ft container are 6.1m x 2.4m x 2.6m. Suitable for 2-3 bedroom homes, with a volume of 33m³. The size of a 40ft shipping container is 12.2m x 2.4m x 2.6m.
