114

Assumptions:

-The containers can be stacked two high (not all containers/materials are safe to stack) and three across (don't need a large amount of bracing/padding between drums). This would still leave room for them to sit on a pallet. So 2 high x 3 across x 19 deep=114.

-40 foot container interior dimensions of Interior Dimensions (in feet): 39’ 6” long x 7’ 9” wide x 7’ 10” high (source icontainers dot com.

-On average, an open head 55 gallon steel drum can have the following dimensions: 22 ½” inside diameter, 33 ½” inside height, 23” or 24” outside diameter, and 34 ¾” or 34.5” outside height (source bascousa dot com.

Well, honey, if we're talking about standard 55 gallon drums and a 40 ft container, you can fit approximately 72 empty drums in there. Just stack 'em up like a game of Tetris and you'll be good to go. Just make sure to secure them properly so they don't go rolling around like a bunch of mischievous toddlers.
