What is an open top container and when is it used?

What is an open top container?
These containers do not have a solid roof but are covered with waterproof tarpaulin that is secured with ropes. In addition, an open top container has lashing rings on the inside which prevents the cargo from sliding. Thus well suited for over height and/or long loads.
