The purpose of this Circular is to provide guidance regarding the transportation of commodities in existing and new freight containers meeting the CSC construction and inspection requirements, where one door has been specifically removed from a container design to provide extra ventilation for general cargoes being transported. The action of physically removing one of the aft doors of a two-door CSC approved freight container is considered a modification to the existing container design, unless the unit was initially tested for such transportation operations as required by the CSC approval regulations. In such cases where a freight container was built for dual operation (one-door-off and two-door operation), the CSC Approval Plate attached to the container's door would be marked to show the minimum allowance for use in one-door or two-door transportation operation.
