The product for this epoch-making event was developed by NYK Logistics Technology Institute and Sanyo Co., LTD and it is on sale under the name "CT SHEET". Developers are presently in the process of taking out a patent on the product.

The letters CT are an abbreviation for the words Condensation Terminator and CT SHEET has been tested and proven effective and viable in transport experiments since last year.

The feature of the water absorbent sheet is that it does not transmit water though the air and by installing it on lashing rings in the container it is possible to prevent dew condensation rising to the ceiling and falling on cargo.

The sheet will not sag greatly even if the weight increases due to water absorption. And in comparison with other methods,it contributes to labour saving and is quite easy to set up or take down.

It is effective in the transportation of a large number of goods including coffees and cacaos which contain mainly water, for foodstuffs such as cereal and grain, canned food (preventing rust), wooden wares and carton boxes which need protection against water .

The CT Sheet will be sold at 7,500 yen per sheet for a 20 foot container and 12,000 yen per sheet for a 40 foot container.
