Alps Asphalt: Maximizing Container Efficiency in Bitumen Logistics For cost-effective global bitumen shipping, understanding container capacity is critical.

 At alps asphalt, we specialize in optimizing logistics through advanced baling and packaging solutions. The table below provides general guidelines for bitumen packaging capacities in standard 20-foot and 40-foot containers.

Total Net Weight Bitumen Bales (Palletized) 25 kg 20-ft 500 – 600 12.5 – 15.0 MT

Bitumen Bales (Palletized) 25 kg 40-ft 1,000 – 1,100 25.0 – 27.5 MT 

Steel Drum (Palletized) 180 kg 20-ft 80 14.4 MT

Steel Drum (Palletized) 180 kg 40-ft 138 24.8 MT

Steel Drum (Bulk/Non-Palletized) 180 kg 20-ft 110 19.8 MT

Steel Drum (Bulk/Non-Palletized) 180 kg 40-ft 150 27.0 MT

Note: Total net weight is calculated based on the product alone and does not include the weight of the packaging or pallets, which can affect the final load. For instance, a 20-foot container’s maximum payload is typically around 28,250 kg, and palletized loads are often limited to a maximum of 16 pallets for space reasons, which can restrict the total weight. These figures are estimates and can vary based on specific package dimensions, pallet sizes, and shipping regulations.
