They can be opened at both ends, thus making it possible to load (装货) and unload (卸 货) at the same time. For carrying goods liable to be spoiled by damp or water， they have great advantages of being both water-tight(防水) and air-tight (防漏气). Containers can be loaded and locked at the factory, if necessary. Pilferage (偷窃)is therefore impossible. Being temperature-controlled (温控), our containers are provided for any cargo that needs a special care. There is also a saving on freight charges (运费), when separate consignments (货物) intended for the same port of destination are carried in one container, and an additional saving on insurance(保险) because of lower premium (保险费) charged for container-shipped goods. We enclose a copy of our freight tariff (运费费率表) and look forward to receiving your instructions. Yours faithfully, ... Complete the following sentences: 1. Please ship the first lot number under Contract No. 123 by S.S Long March scheduled (预计起航) to sail on or about May 2nd. 2.
