The standardised shipping container is an important innovation that has changed the modern

world, in turn raising the living standards of many societies.
But, there’s a problem. Sometimes the containers can fall off the ship because of accidents,
severe weather, or poor container packing.
Participants were to choose a problem that arises from shipping containers and devise a

design how you would investigate it.
