Something to check out with the shipping companies - check if you can put a wider beam boat into a "FLAT RACK" container? These have solid end walls but open sides and top. You, in theory, could go with a wider beam but still not impede the gantry cranes from loading the containers on and off the ship. You still have to mind the height limitations but I would imagine there could be a 9'6" version just like the containers..... Your boat would have to ride on top of the stack and be susceptible to the weather but it could be a few $K less and open you up to a boat that you want and not just a boat that will fit a container.
Securing it could be interesting!
