Best Answer

Allowing for the tare mass of the container, the maximum payload mass is 27,000 kg for 40 ft (12 meter) container. This means based on the weight you would get 18000 bottles into the container. However in theory a 40 ft container would hold more. A 4.ft container has a volume of 67.7m2 which is 67700 litres capacity / 1.5 = 45133 bottles. However this is 67 tonnes which is more than double of what is allowed to load in weight. This is why most bottles water companies use mostly 20 foot containers and usually load 990 boxes x 12 bottles. In a 40 foot container it would be 1500 boxes x 12 bottles.
