C T Online Desk: 20 feet and 40 feet long containers are very popular for safe transportation of goods by sea. All containers in the world have a unique number. As a result, the number of one container does not match with the number of the other. But two 40 feet long containers with same number were found at Chittagong port.
Port users were shocked by the rare incident in the maritime world. According to sources, the issue was detected in the port’s own Container Terminal Management System (CTMS). The two containers have different seal numbers. One of these containers was discharged from the port on Wednesday (July 19).
