An attachable and removable roof for shipping containers is an aerodynamic “half teardrop” shape, which decreases drag whilst the shipping container is being transported by road by a lorry, and also improves the efficiency of the vehicle. The roof may be attached to the shipping container using the current industry standard twist lock fastening system. The roof may include channels for a forklift to lift it oin and off the container.
