GRADE
CW and WWT containers share many similarities, having been extensively used in maritime shipping for around 5-10 years. However, it's important to note that these containers differ in terms of quality grades. Cargo Worthy containers are classified as Grade B, while WWT containers fall under Grade C.
Both container types usually exhibit signs of wear and tear, including dents, rust, scuffs, and visible usage. However, WWT containers tend to show a higher degree of usage and age indicators. These containers often display extensive rust, significant wear on floors and doors, and evidence of previous repairs, which are commonly observed when they are put up for resale.
Due to their better condition, Cargo-Worthy containers generally have a longer lifespan. Consequently, there may be a notable price difference between the two types. Cargo-Worthy containers are ready for international shipping service and can be certified accordingly. On the other hand, WWT containers may require additional repairs before they can receive certifications, although this is not always the case.
