Abstract
The paper outlines the innovative and progressive flooring options to build and equip marine containers. Several measurements, tests and simulations within this research study have been performed to find out whether it is possible to upgrade the marine container for general purposes with the polypropylene board with aluminum reinforcement. Research has confirmed that the aluminum board has a number of advantages. The main advantages include more than two times longer service lifespan compared to the conventional floors, absolute resistance to biological and chemical agents and simple floor repairs. Due to its durability, the aluminum board has a significant economic benefit for the user as well.
