Shipping Containers
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive guide for the inspection of intermodal containers. Intermodal containers are used for the transportation of cargo by land, sea, and air. The containers are typically constructed of steel, aluminum, or fiberglass reinforced plywood (FRP) and can be shipped as individual units or complexed together to form larger structures.

 

The course provides detailed information on the inspection of containers, including structural components, surface corrosion, interior conditions, and other factors that affect container performance. The guidance is intended to ensure that containers are maintained in good condition, and to identify potential problems that could affect cargo safety and security during transportation.

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to industrial engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about guidance for the inspection of commercial and military intermodal containers, covering all aspects of container inspection, including structural components, surface corrosion, interior conditions, and other factors that could affect container performance.
