| Container 309859 is practically brand new, as for being manufactured by Singamas, in May. There wasn't a thing of dirt or dust on this container, and I was surprised to see a 309 series. The highest container that I have, is 304617 which was manufactured by CIMC, earlier this year in March. I really don't think any 305, 306, 307, or 308 series containers are built yet. The reason that these containers skip around sometimes with the numbers, is because there are two companies manufacturing these containers. There used to be three, and the third one was Jindo, but they haven't manufactured any since January 2008. Since then, it has been Singamas, and CIMC, which stands for China International Marine Container. J B Hunt started with these steel China containers, in March 2006, with container 230500. |
