Container Gross Weight refers to the total weight of a container, including the weight of the container itself and the weight of the cargo it carries. It is a crucial factor in the supply chain as it determines the maximum load capacity of the container and ensures compliance with weight restrictions and safety regulations during transportation. The container gross weight is usually indicated on the container's identification plate or documented in shipping documents.
