Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of port operation technology, specifically to a railway container adapter conversion device for container ships. Background Technology
[0002] Existing container ships are typically designed to carry standard ocean shipping containers (such as 20-foot and 40-foot ISO standard containers). The corner fitting positions and securing methods differ from those of railway containers, making it impossible for ordinary container ships to directly and securely secure railway containers. Often, it is necessary to transfer goods from railway containers to standard ocean shipping containers for loading and transport. During this transfer process, cargo damage and increased transportation costs are unavoidable.
