Abstract (en)
A cargo container comprises a wall 6 having a ventilation chamber 50. A horizontally-extending re-entrant notch 55 contributes to the stiffness of an outer wall 54 of the chamber 50 which is not substantially wider than a conventional corrugated portion 12 of the wall 6 and does not significantly effect its strength. Ventilation holes 76, 78 are displaced vertically to prevent rein or sea-spray entering the container. The holes 76 allow water to drain from the chamber 50 and holes 80 allow condensation on the inside of the container to drain into the chamber 50. Alternatively the drainage holes are not offset and a baffle plate is fastened within the ventilation chamber. In a preferred embodiment there are two ventilation chambers forming the uppermost and lowermost portions of the container wall.
