1. Standard Containers: The Foundation of Global Shipping

Standard containers are the backbone of international trade, offering a secure and versatile solution for shipping various goods. At Nautic, we provide a wide range of standard container sizes, including 20-foot and 40-foot options. Whether you're shipping consumer goods, machinery, or perishable items, our standard containers provide the reliability and protection your cargo needs.

2. Reefer Containers: Maintaining Temperature-Controlled Shipments

In transporting temperature-sensitive goods, Nautic offers reefer containers that maintain precise temperatures throughout the journey. Our advanced reefer containers ensure the integrity of perishable items such as pharmaceuticals, fruits, and seafood, safeguarding their quality and freshness until they reach their destination.

3. Open-Top Containers: Versatility for Oversized Cargo

Nautic provides open-top containers for oversized or bulky cargo that doesn't fit within the dimensions of standard containers. With easy top-loading access and removable roofs, these containers enable efficient loading and unloading of goods such as heavy machinery, construction materials, or significant industrial components. Our open-top containers offer the flexibility your unique shipments require.

4. Flat Rack Containers: Secure Transportation for Non-Traditional Cargo

Transporting unconventional cargo can be challenging, but Nautic has you covered with flat rack containers. Designed with collapsible sides, these containers accommodate goods that cannot be loaded into standard containers due to their size or shape. Our flat rack containers ensure safe and secure transportation, from heavy machinery to vehicles or timber, even for unique shipments.

5. High-Cube Containers: Extra Space for Optimal Load Capacity

When maximizing load capacity is crucial, Nautic's high-cube containers offer the ideal solution. These containers have increased height compared to standard options, providing additional space for voluminous goods. With high-cube containers, you can optimize your freight efficiency and reduce costs by utilizing every inch of available space.
