This 7-point container inspection checklist helps logistics teams and inspectors verify that shipping containers are structurally sound, weather-tight, and free from tampering or hidden compartments. It guides checks across the exterior and undercarriage, door locks and hinges, right and left interior/exterior walls, front wall blocks and vents, ceiling/roof supports and ventilation, and the container floor for odors, stains, and repairs. The template prompts for container and seal numbers, shipper details, and site safety prerequisites, and requires documentation of findings with photos and notes. Use it to standardize inspections, record defects, and confirm the container’s integrity before loading or release.
