70% to pass

A high cube container is designed specifically to _______________.

A carry cargoes of very low stowage factors
B stow cargoes with concentrated weights such as machinery
C carry low density cargoes
D protect fragile cargoes
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) carry low density cargoes. High cube containers are designed to carry cargoes with low density, such as plastics, fabrics, or electronics. The increased interior height of a high cube container allows it to accommodate these types of low-density items more efficiently compared to a standard container. This makes high cube containers well-suited for transporting voluminous but lightweight cargoes. The other options are incorrect because: A) high cube containers are not specifically designed for low stowage factor cargoes, B) they do not prioritize stowing concentrated weights, and D) protecting fragile cargoes is not the primary purpose of high cube containers.
