(UT) Dimensions of Shipping Container (TL9)

A generic rule of thumb can be found on B74, under Payload - every 20 lb is equivalent to 1 cubic foot (this corresponds to something around 1/3 the density of water). So a 5-ton capacity would correspond to 500 cubic feet.

That's almost certainly not right, however. With a spacious 6'x3'x3' allotment for each passenger, 500 cf would give you nearly enough space for 10 people! As the above would call for 216 cf for 4 passengers, I'd be inclined to say it's simply 200 cf and things are a bit more cramped than the above.
