Shipping containers are used for trains and ships for efficiency.
The size of the berm is based on the size of the tanks or containers that you are trying to contain. Normally, your berm can hold at leat 110% of what the tank or containers hold.
With ships not fitted to carry containers on deck they can usually be lashed down in the ships internal holds (if available). If the containers need to be stored on deck lashing points can be welded to the weather deck to facilitate this.
My theory is that that size fits the most bales of boards into standard containers used on container ships, is this true?
Container ships are some of the largest ships to cross the oceans. The function is to transport goods from one location to another. The reason containers are used is because the containers can be loaded and unloaded extremely efficiently and shipped with relative ease.

How much rice a cargo ship can carry varies with the size of the ship. The larger ships can carry up to 10,000 20 foot cargo containers filled with rice.
Container ships (sometimes spelled containerships) are cargo ships that carry all of their load in truck-size intermodal containers, in a technique called containerization. They are a common means of commercial intermodal freight transport and now carry most seagoing non-bulk cargo.

They do this for the same reason passenger take two or more planes to reach their final destination. Large ships carrying 4200+ containers transport them across large distances, such as oceans. It is not efficient for them to make many stops for each shipment of containers. The containers are offloaded at large ports and are loaded on smaller feeder ships, carrying around 1000 containers which travel to the final destinations.
Unless you say size of containers, the question is ridiculous.
