Specific Item Information: Ivarans Rederi AS was a merchant steamship company founded in Norway by Ivar Anton Christensen in 1902. Stockard Steamship Company of New York was the major agent of Ivaran for many years. Ivaran had an involvement with Stockard resulted from World War II as they operated a tramping service between the East Coast of USA and South America. Ivaran Lines was bought by CP SHIPS in May 1998, being unprofitable at that time. The last Ivaran's chairman was Eirik Holter-Sorensen. CP's Ivaran brand name was replaced by the LYKES LINES brand in 2000. By 2001 CP SHIPS was the seventh largest carrier in the world. When acquired by CP Ships, Ivaran Lines was operating the following services: U.S. East Coast to East Coast South America (with Columbus Line and Alianca) U.S. Gulf Coast to East Coast South America (with Grupo Libra and TMM) U.S. Gulf Coast to Central America and the Caribbean. CP Ships was bought out in late 2005 by TUI AG and merged in mid-2006 into the Hapag Lloyd organization.

Prototype History: Given the prevalence of 40 foot containers in the global shipping/maritime industry, the 20 foot container was a logical choice for smaller cargoes. Given that exactly two 20 foot containers can stack on or be stacked on a 40 foot container, these little brothers are a no-brainer for smaller loads. Cargo ships specially designed for 40 foot containers can usually handle these smaller units without specialized loading equipment or facilities.

Dry containers are meant for non-refrigerated goods and hence are the most common type.

Corrugation in the construction of these containers yields much greater strength (just like with corrugated cardboard for boxes) but is more expensive to fabricate. Due to the extra strength granted by the corrugation, this is a popular type for overseas use.
