Proship offers North-South rail transport of goods by Open Top containers (open-top). It’s safe, affordable, precise, and reliable

On the market, there are many types of special containers, including Open Top Containers. Open-top containers are unique compared to other container types in both their structure and functionality. This is a rectangular container that does not have a fixed roof like conventional containers. Goods inside the container are covered by a tarpaulin or a movable metal lid. Because of this special structure, open-top containers are only used to transport large, bulky goods. With the removable tarpaulin on top, users can load/unload goods vertically through the top of the container using a crane. After loading, the container’s roof will be covered.

Due to the increasing demand for powdered stone, planium, iron ore, rice, sugar, machinery and equipment, scaffolding, jumbo bags, etc. from the market to serve the Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, Energy, Industrial Production, and Business-Consumer sectors, PROSHIP JOINT STOCK COMPANY provides North-South Open Top Container Rail Transport Service at competitive and affordable prices, prioritizing customer benefits and ensuring absolute safety for the goods of Forwarders/Shippers.

Currently, North-South oversized cargo transport by open top road container, North-South mineral transport by open top container, transport of steel coils, scaffolding, machinery, etc., has an average container price of 35,000,000 VND/standard road container. Meanwhile, North-South steel coil transport by open top container, North-South scaffolding transport by open top container, North-South machinery transport by open top container, etc., by rail is about 25% cheaper, meaning road transport prices are typically about 40-45% higher. With cost-saving freight rates, stable rail freight schedules, and high safety, there’s no reason for businesses not to choose it as an alternative.
