Abstract
A multi-purpose cargo shipping container having provision for optional individual unit use or plural interlocked use. On the one hand the individual unit may be utilized for carrying relatively high density cargo, while on the other, a pair of interlocked units forming a container may carry low package density cargo. The units are modular to permit more efficient utilization of the cargo stowing area in ships, rail cars and motor carriers.
