Container Loading Guide (How Much LABSA 96% Fits in a Container?)

Container loading depends on:

• Container type (20’GP vs 40’HC)

• Packaging choice

• Max gross weight limits (port/line restrictions)

• Palletization and loading pattern

Below is a practical guidance (final loading plan is confirmed before shipment).

 Loading in IBC Tanks (1000 kg)

• 20’GP: typically ~18–20 IBCs (≈ 18–20 MT)

• 40’HC: typically ~20–24 IBCs (≈ 20–24 MT)

Why this range?
IBC shipments are often limited by weight more than volume, depending on line/route rules.

 Loading in Drums (200–220 kg)

• 20’GP: commonly ~80–100 drums (≈ 16–22 MT)

• 40’HC: commonly ~160–200 drums (≈ 32–44 MT)

The exact count depends on:

• Drum net weight (200 vs 210 vs 220 kg)

• Whether drums are palletized

• Allowed gross weight

 Loading in Drums on Pallet

• Palletization improves handling but usually reduces maximum count due to:

  • pallet footprint

  • spacing and stacking limits

A typical approach:

• 20’GP: ~14–18 pallets (varies by drums-per-pallet setup)

• 40’HC: ~28–36 pallets (varies by configuration)

For drum-on-pallet, the critical thing is the drums per pallet (e.g., 4 drums/pallet, 8 drums/pallet, etc.). Once you confirm your preferred pallet standard, we can provide an exact stuffing plan.

Which Packaging Should You Choose?

If you want the best cost per ton → IBC
If you want flexible distribution → Drum
If you want fast unloading + organized delivery → Drum on Pallet

Many buyers start with drums for a trial shipment and move to IBC once the supply flow is stable.
