older pics...I really should update stuff more often
the second pic has a lo-poly man to show the scale

I really like the textures. The procedurals on the sides of the containers seem a bit like vertical lines. I like how the lighting works with the textures as well.

2.65 x 2.65 x 5.75m (3dt). Small enough to actually fit into a ship, be moved, secured, etc.

If I may ask, is there anything considered canon regarding whether standard shipping containers are vacuum safe/hard-space durable ?
That said, would the container's volume be less due to outer surface thickness or internal insulation ?
And are 'space-worthy' containers rated for proof against various radiations and-or micrometeorite penetration ?

Probably covered in GT:FT.
Yes. Very well, too. All kinds of containers/contents stats.

Thanks Andrew, much appreciated.
As a fan of intermodal shipping containers, yours are most smart and stylish !

Any chance of making them 3 x 3 x 6 (4dt)? or 3 x 3 x 12 (8dt)?
I ask because of:
and I have a number of other versions as well.

Note my comment - a 3x3x6 container won't fit!
Assuming decks are 20cm thick and walls are 10cm, a "4dt" slot holds at most 2.9x2.8x5.9, or 3.4dt. Once you include manoeuvre space you soon get down to 3dt.

As Andrew notes, and Traveller repeatedly ignores, you can't fit 4tons inside 4tons 
I've long taken the road Andrew did, but I would rate that container of his as 4tons, not 3tons. It doesn't actually hold 4tons of goods for shipping (just 3tons or so), but it requires 4tons of hold for shipping and that's what's important to the free-trader Captain. Scale up for other sizes. You have to allow clearances, and loose on packing.

So, what? the shipper pays Cr 4,000 for the allocation of 4 dtons of space on the ship, but can only ship 3 dtons?
Manks sense. Would make running speculative cargo more interesting.
Anyway I'll just say the cargo containers are 3x3x6
It's not like the designe sequenses are that realistic anyway.
Great pic BTW Andrew.

I prefer to RPG Traveller, not to SIM Traveller. A lot of members here are more into hardcore realistic simulation even though all the library data (historical and otherwise) collected about every subsector in the Imperium and other mapped regions mentioned over the years is based on pure fantasy.
