Abstract (en)

A mock manlid system (112) includes a lid defining a first side and an opposing second side and an aperture through which a valve assembly (130) is coupled. The lid seats about a manhole (178) of a shipping container with a conventional manlid (184) retracted. The valve assembly connects to a spillbox (114) located in the manhole for discharging the shipping container under pressure.
