What is a weathertight shipping container?

Weathertight containers are shipping containers that should keep out wind and rain. In our industry, weather tight can also be denoted as "WWT" or Wind and Water Tight. Most folks in our business use this term to describe a used cargo container that is suitable for storage.

Weather tight containers should have:

1. Good doors that open and close.
2. No visible holes or daylight
3. Solid floors

Weathertight containers can also have:

1. Visible signs of use like surface rust, dents and dings
2. Scratched or flaky floors. Sections of floor that have been replaced
3. Metal sections that have been repaired and continued to be used for cargo

Used shipping containers are a sound way to store your goods and valuables. They are made to hold cargo safely in the harshest conditions on earth. With attention and care, you can expect many years of use out of a weathertight cargo container.
