A modular shipping container, comprising:

• a base formed from a central portion, a first end portion, and a second end portion;
• wherein the central portion includes a generally rectangular planar area with perpendicular base sidewalls extending upward on two first opposing sides of the generally rectangular planar area, and at least two wings extending downward from each of two second opposing sides of the generally rectangular planar area, the two first opposing sides orthogonal to the second opposing sides, a male latch portion provided extending upward from each of the at least two wings on each of the second opposing sides of the generally rectangular planar area;
• wherein the first end portion and the second end portion each includes a generally rectangular planar area with perpendicular base sidewalls extending upwards on three sides and having at least two female latch portions in the generally rectangular planar area along a fourth side, each female latch portion positioned to mate with an associated one of the male latch portions;
• and
• wherein when the male latch portions on each of the at least two wings on one of the second opposing sides of the generally rectangular planar area of the central portion are mated with corresponding female latch portions on the first end portion and the male latch portions on each of the at least two wings on the other of the second opposing sides of the generally rectangular planar of the central portion are mated with a corresponding one of the female latch portions on the second end portion, the base is formed having a base rectangular planar area consisting of the generally rectangular planar area of the central portion and the generally rectangular planar areas of each of the first end portion and the second end portion, the base having base sidewalls on all four sides of the base rectangular planar area.
