standardized large, reusable steel box used for transporting freight

AI overview

An intermodal container is a large, standardized steel box designed to carry freight and be moved easily between different types of transportation—like ships, trucks, and trains—without needing to unload and reload the cargo. This standardization makes global shipping faster and more efficient because the same container can be transferred between different transport modes without special handling.
