Every figure on this site rests on a named document we have read — 308 of them, listed below by kind. The outside of a container and its tolerances come from ISO 668, read in the free official texts that adopt it (IS 6566:2001 and ГОСТ Р 53350-2009); codes and markings from ISO 6346, read in IS 6928:2001 and BIC’s 2022 code table. We have not read the current paid editions, ISO 668:2020 and ISO 6346:2022, and do not cite them as read. The inside, the door, the tare and the volume are checked against 88 published specification sheets of 30 shipping lines, leasing companies and makers. Each of the 85 owner prefixes we curate is checked against its page in the BIC register; 15 are also confirmed by a document of the company itself.

What we deliberately do not use: Wikipedia, Reddit, marketplaces or content farms. Where a figure varies in the real world — tare weights by manufacturer, prices by season — the page says so and carries a date instead of pretending precision.

Tables across the site link to the entries below. Found a figure that contradicts a primary source? See our correction policy.
