High-temperature resistant folding containers used for the Addis Ababa tunnel

What is a tunnel shipping container?

Tunnel containers provide two access points, they have two sets of standard double-doors (one at each end of the container) making it easy to access both ends of the shipping container. Tunnel Shipping Containers are typically purchased by clients who want improved access to the contents of their container.

Are tunnel shipping containers available for resale?

Tunnel shipping containers are typically only available in new ‘one trip’ condition, owners typically create them for a specific purpose so they hold onto them. There aren’t many tunnel containers available for resale in used condition.

Can a tunnel container be partitioned?

For example a standard tunnel container, i.e. a 20ft container with double doors at each end could be partitioned down the middle, leaving two 10ft x 8ft x 8ft 6″ halves – each with their own access – one half could then be converted and used for office space and the other half used for secure part/equipment storage.
