Abstract

The water that is found inside shipping containers come from the air, packages, pallets, and sometimes even the products that are stored in the container. Condensation forms inside the sea container because during shipping, temperature and humidity varies hugely and that variance can occur fairly quickly. This condensation in a sea container can cause extensive packaging damages. There are various solutions to this problem, including ventilation and the addition of desiccants to the container. This white paper explores the causes of this condensation and solutions to prevent any damage.
