Standard size of cargo containers, allow for compact stacking during storage and transport over sea or land. Earlier, uneven sizes of cargo often resulted in load imbalance and re-packing, which caused delays. Cargo got damaged or pilfered during this process.
The current ISO containers are sturdy steel containers, which normally come as TEUs (Twenty-Equivalent-Units). They are also available in larger sizes of 40 feet or 45 feet.

Using the ISO tank containers through the intermodal way of transportation rather than using the on-road tank trucks had a huge impact on saving the money up to 20% to 30% in the transportation costs.
Depending upon the distance and volume of the freight, the benefit level in saving the money gets increased.
