Introducing The SeaFold 40’

Our Latest Collapsible Marine Container Innovation​

The world’s first 5-in-1 40’ high cube shipping container that will revolutionize the intermodal shipping industry by providing significant cost benefits, improving empty container repositioning efficiencies, and lowering harmful CO2 emissions.

A collapsed bundle of five SeaFold 40’ containers accommodates the same slot as one conventional 40’ High Cube container creating 80% more storage and operating cost efficiencies at terminals, railheads, and ports, along with reducing lifts and container movement on ships, truck, rail, and barges.

Capable of being quickly and safely folded or erected in minutes, the SeaFold 40’ is constructed using the highest quality industry standard materials and parts allowing it to be serviced by maintenance organizations throughout the world.

Built in accordance with all provisions of the ISO 1496-1-2013 certification standards, International Convention for Safe Containers (“CSC”), International Union of Railways (“UIC”), Lloyd’s Register (“LR”) and Bureau Veritas (“BV”).

Additional Use Cases

SeaFold containers, known for their efficiency and environmental benefits, have the potential to redefine operations in several critical areas.

02

Sea

In maritime operations, SeaFold containers deliver substantial cost savings for one-way cargo shipments through more efficient loading and unloading procedures. Their design allows for additional stowage space on mainline and feeder vessels, which in turn reduces the vessel’s time in port. Our containers contribute to operational efficiency by reducing both repositioning moves and the number of crane cycles required for lifting bundled units.

03

Terminals

At container terminals, SeaFold containers serve as a strategic solution for alleviating both current and anticipated port congestion. Their compact nature when collapsed liberates valuable storage space and contributes to fewer terminal gate moves. Additionally, the efficient design facilitates quicker throughput times and requires fewer lifts, thereby helping to prevent future container shortages and surpluses.

04

Inland Transportation

SeaFold containers effectively reduce empty container repositioning, leading to optimized storage at rail and truck terminals. This efficiency translates to fewer trucks and rail cars transporting empty containers, thereby lowering fuel costs. The streamlined process offers a practical solution for both economic and environmental concerns.
