A 20ft dry shipping container will hold 19 pallets
i.e. 16 drums of 45 kg (720kgs) per pallet and total 13.68 metric tons, i.e. 304 x 45 kg drums.

Or for the 20-25 kg drums, it will hold either 18 or 27 drums per pallet (max 450 or 675 kg/pallet), i.e. 19 x 18 or 27 drums of 20-25 kg, i.e. max 8.55 or 12.825 tons in total.
