Which container designed for chlorine is approximately eight feet long and three feet wide?

• A. Tote
• B. Intermodal container
• C. Bulk Container
• D. Ton container

Answer: (D)

Chlorine is shipped in bulk using purpose-built ton containers. These are rugged steel vessels designed specifically for chlorine handling and transport, and their footprint is roughly eight feet long by about three feet wide. The size matches the need for a compact, secure bulk container that can be moved by truck or rail and stored efficiently in terminals. Tote (IBCs) are smaller and more general-purpose for various liquids, intermodal containers are the standard large shipping boxes (20 or 40 feet), and bulk containers cover a range of designs not necessarily sized for chlorine. The ton container’s dedicated design and its typical dimensions make it the correct choice for this description.
