I really don't know the correct name for these, but does anyone know where i could buy a couple of these. A buddy of mine needs them for his camp. I have seen them at seafood places they had shrimp stored in them.

It is called an Insulated Shipping Bin. Nothing really fancy. I work for a Food Distributor. We use them for frozen food, ice cream. We purchase ours from Hobart. Other than that I have no I idea where you could buy one for personal use. I know there are no local distributors. So if you aren't going to buy 10 of them, the shipping is going to kill you. They weigh close to 250lbs.

I would go to a local grocery store and try to see if you can buy one of them. They might have one laying around. The store owners I know would sell thier kidneys for the right price.

How good of shape do they need to be in.......my uncle runs a shrimp factory i can see what he has laying around. Otherwise wait for a hurricane and you can find them floatin all around the marsh.

He wants to use them to store ice at his camp. So i guess shape doesent matter as long as it will hold ice.

Most shrimpers I know in Cameron built their own.
Some buy them built already. But they are heavier than these.
