Actually, we can also encounter container standards at the national, regional, and company levels.
Dimensions of Less Common Containers (8GP, 10GP, 10HC, 48HC, 53HC)
Apart from the aforementioned, there exist rarely seen container sizes across the world. As more types of cargo need to be shipped, containers with the nonstandard length, width, and height are developed.

Using the container calculator
This is a fairly simple container loading calculator: it allows you to calculate how many items of the same dimensions and weight (optional) you can fit in a single shipping container. Currently it only supports simple stacking, meaning that each item will be placed next to the other, no complex rotations or ordering.
List of standard container types
The table represents the dimensions of the 8 standard container types that are predefined in our calculator.
Container loading: internal stacking calculation
In order to estimate how many items you can fit, you need to determine the optimal way to stack them so that you minimize unused volume in the container. This is a hard problem to solve, a so-called NP-hard problem (NP-problem stands for "Non-deterministic Polynomial acceptable problems"), meaning that they cannot be solved in polynomial time.
Container utilization vs. ease of internal stacking
In order to understand the issue it is useful to do a brief review of the fascinating history of the shipping container [2], which we owe to the invention of Malcolm McLean.
