GE-SeaCo "Sea Cell" Containers
GE-SeaCo operates a small fleet of extra-wide dry van containers called "Sea Cells". These containers have the side ribs on the outside, thus giving a greater inside width to allow better stuffing of Euro-standard pallets while still being able to interlock with standard 8'-0" wide containers. Sea Cells are 8'-0" wide at the end frames, which distinguishes them from the other 2.5m wide European domestic containers.
Although they are technically a non-standard size, they do travel around the world amongst standard ISO containers. They even show up in the United States now and then, so keep an eye out for them.
