All shipping containers have vents with baffles to let air in and keep water (be it sea or rain!) out. However, all items that you store in a container carry moisture (even clothes!) and on a sunny day that moisture will turn into vapour which, as the temperature drops in the evening, will become water droplets that collect on the ceiling and start dripping. If you require extra protection we can supply moisture traps which are made only from PE/PP plastics and salt, which are non toxic and recyclable. One trap should last approximately three months in a 20 foot container.
