How to prevent container water ingress？

The water in the container can be divided into the following cases: the cargo comes with it, the box is condensed, the seawater is immersed, and the fresh water is immersed.

1. Carry the goods

Moisture or moisture is carried into the container with the cargo. For example, if a container contains 5 tons of furniture, the furniture itself will contain about 8% to 25% humidity, which varies according to the type of wood and the degree of drying of the furniture. This is equivalent to about 400-1250 liters of water. Some of the moisture here will be emitted into the air in the container, which will become an important source of moisture condensation in the container.

2.Condensation of the cabinet

During the ocean transportation or storage of containers, the container often experiences high temperature climate and strong day and night temperature changes. The temperature change will be 0-8 degrees Celsius and the humidity will reach 98%. This is the phenomenon of condensation. When the temperature is 30 degrees , The water content in the air is 30.4g per square meter. When the temperature drops from 30 degrees Celsius to 18 degrees Celsius, water vapor will condense into water droplets. If it is a 40-foot container, 1,000 grams of condensate will be generated, which will cause "container rain".

3.Seawater immersion

I often float on the sea, how can I not wet the box? If there is a strong wind and waves, if the box happens to have small damage, if it is on the deck, or if it is accidentally dropped into the sea, it will not run into the sea or wet. Not much to say about this.

4.Fresh water immersion

If the top or side of the box is damaged, the front panel, the door panel, or the door rubber strips are damaged, it will cause water ingress when it rains or snows or the ship's fresh water pipeline is broken. Typhoons have been intensified recently, and the rivers have experienced heavy storms. It is necessary to prevent water inflow when shipping.

How to prevent container water ingress？

1. Moisture and water damage can be prevented.

2. Check whether the container is sealed and dry before packing;

3.Confirm whether the goods and loading environment are dry;

4.Strengthen the waterproof packing of goods;

5.Place the desiccant in the box reasonably;

6, the whole process of visual tracking of goods.

7. All links in the transportation of goods need to be controlled in real time, try to visualize the whole process, and keep all kinds of transaction documents in case of sudden circumstances that require proof when claiming.
