Here is a complete, standalone HTML file containing the comparison table. **Important Notes on the Estimates:** * **Dimensions & Weights:** Based on ISO 668 / ISO 1496 standards. Payload assumes a standard Max Gross Weight of **67,200 lbs (30,480 kg)**. * **Shipping Rates (Shenzhen → San Diego / St Maarten):** **Ocean freight rates are extremely volatile.** The figures below represent **current market "All-In" spot rate estimates (Mid-2024)** for a standard FAK (Freight All Kinds) shipment, including base ocean freight, BAF (Bunker Adjustment Factor), THC (Terminal Handling Charges), and documentation fees. They **exclude** US Customs Bonds, ISF filing, duties/taxes, drayage (trucking), and demurrage/detention. * **45ft HC to St Maarten:** 45ft containers are less common on Caribbean routes; many carriers require special booking approval or transshipment via a hub (like Panama or Freeport), often commanding a significant premium over 40ft HC. * **Cost per Cubic Foot:** Calculated strictly on *internal cubic capacity*. Real-world utilization is rarely 100% due to packaging, pallets, and weight limits. ```html Container Specifications & Shipping Cost Comparison
