A shipping container for those who are totally oblivious to such things are often defined as meaning a standardized container designed for intermodel freight transport, which broadly speaking means they can be used to ferry goods and argo across different types of available transport from a ships at docks, to HGV's without unloading and reloading their cargo.
The reason shipping containers were invented was before some bright spark invented whats basically a metal box, goods had to be unloaded and re-loaded often by hand in the docks. However, by the 1970s, industry standards were created in order to enable a more consistent loading and transporting of goods globally.
