  1. \n\u2022 There are over 15 million containers that are being moved across the world. This number equates to a remarkable amount of more than 200 million trips being made every single year. <\/p>\n

    \u2022 The second hidden fact people are not aware of when it comes to shipping containers is the very first shipping containers was invented as far back as 1956 by a man known as Malcolm McLean.<\/p>\n

    \u2022 The third hidden fact people are not aware of when it comes to shipping containers is that about 97% of all the containers seen across the world all come from China. Shipping containers are manufactured in China due to cheaper labour found in that country.<\/p>\n

    \u2022 The fifth hidden fact people regarding shipping containers is that the standard 20ft shipping container<\/a> can hold just over 3,000 shoe boxes while a 40ft shipping container<\/a> can hold around 8,000 shoe boxes.<\/p>\n

    \u2022 The sixth hidden fact is that the port of Shanghai is perhaps the busiest port around with over 30 million containers being handled there in 2013 alone.<\/p>\n
