Question
A customer has 15 pallets of spor equipment. The total volume of the shipment is 27 mathrm(~m)^3 , and the total weight is 19,000 mathrm(~kg) . How many and what type of ocean container(s) do you estimate would be needed to move this shipment? Review the attachmer for more information. Select one answer. Container Type & Palletized Cargo Volume Capacity & Un-Palletized Cargo Volume Capacity 20-mathrm(ft) standard & 28 mathrm(~m)^3 & 30 mathrm(~m)^3 40-mathrm(ft) standard & 50 mathrm(~m)^3 & 60 mathrm(~m)^3 40-mathrm(ft) high cube & 55 mathrm(~m)^3 & 70 mathrm(~m)^3 45-mathrm(ft) high cube & 70 mathrm(~m)^3 & 80 mathrm(~m)^3 Container Type & Length & Width & Height & Max. Payload 20-mathrm(ft) standard & 232 mathrm(in) & 90 mathrm(in) & 90 mathrm(in) & 20,000 mathrm(~kg) 40-mathrm(ft) standard & 474 mathrm(in) & 90 mathrm(in) & 90 mathrm(in) & 25,000 mathrm(~kg)

Answer
### One 20-ft standard container
Explanation
## Step 1: Determine the Volume Requirement### The total volume of the shipment is given as
. We need to select a container that can accommodate at least this volume. From the table, the smallest container with sufficient palettized cargo volume capacity is the 20-ft standard container, which has a capacity of
.## Step 2: Determine the Weight Requirement### The total weight of the shipment is
. The maximum payload for the 20-ft standard container is
, which is sufficient for this shipment.## Step 3: Select the Appropriate Container### Since both the volume and weight requirements are satisfied by the 20-ft standard container, only one such container is needed to move the shipment.
