Tunnel Containers
The key characteristic of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the dual door design at both ends of the container. This greatly increases access and makes them ideal for storage and handling.

Dual Access
Tunnel containers are modified version of the standard shipping containers with double doors on both sides. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or tunnel container, These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.
The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container. This is ideal for transporting heavier or bulkier items that would otherwise need to be backed in and out of the container. The double-end access also makes it unnecessary to unload the entire container in order to access the goods that are stored within, which saves time and decreases the chance of causing damage during transport.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The most dangerous products like explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides require storage at optimal temperatures. Any temperature fluctuations could affect their stability, and could cause a combustion or release of toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.
Sometimes these fluctuations can be difficult to spot, especially during the midst of a busy workday. Container terminals should have an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers in their facility. This allows staff to react promptly to any anomalies, preventing any potential risks.

Double doors are located at both ends of the container which makes it easier to load and unload during transportation as well as storage.
