In order to improve the efficiency and safety of transportation and to cut the transportation cost, we studied the application of steel coil pallet in container transportation. Steel coil pallet was tested to fix steel coils in containers that were shipped from Qingdao port to Mumbai port in two voyages. Different specifications of coils were used in the tests. Containers were loaded in different positions in the ship in two voyages. In the two voyages the total cost of the application of steel coil pallet was 3915.11 Yuan， the total loading and unloading time was 123 hours， and the total number of workers was 8. The total cost of the application of steel coil pallets was lower than that of traditional fixing method. The application of steel coil pallet reduced the transportation cost and improved the efficiency and reliability of transportation.
