High cube (HC) container

High cube (HC) containers are shipping containers with an increased height compared to standard containers. They have a height of 9 feet 6 inches (2.89 meters), while standard containers have a height of 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 meters). This increased height provides additional space and volume for goods, making them useful for shipping taller items or a larger quantity of smaller items.
