500 metric tons.
Assuming the total weight limit for a 40ft container is around 28-30 tons, and a 50kg bag of palm kernel shell weighs 0.05 tons, you would be able to fit approximately 560-600 bags in a 40ft container.
No, kilotons and metric tons are not the same. A kiloton is a unit of weight equal to 1,000 metric tons. Metric tons, also known as tonnes, are a unit of weight equivalent to 1,000 kilograms.

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with that metric lingo! Alright, so 1 metric ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms. If we're talking about palm kernel shells, they have a density of about 0.6 - 0.7 metric cubic meters per ton. So, for 1 metric ton, you're looking at around 0.6 - 0.7 metric cubic meters of palm kernel shells. But hey, who's really counting, right?
In 2001 world production of palm oil was 23.6 million metric tons, up from 16.9 million metric tons in 1998
The conversion factor between metric tons (t) and kilograms (kg) is 1,000. This means that 1 metric ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms. To convert from metric tons to kilograms, you multiply the weight in metric tons by 1,000. To convert from kilograms to metric tons, you divide the weight in kilograms by 1,000.
To convert metric tons (tonnes) to net tons, simply divide the metric tons by 1.10231. This will give you the equivalent weight in net tons. For example, 10 metric tons is approximately equal to 9.07 net tons.
U.S. imports of palm oil were 165,107 metric tons in 2001

"6000T" typically refers to a weight measurement where "T" stands for metric tons. Therefore, 6000T would indicate a weight of 6000 metric tons.
The weight averages about 2.5 metric tons (2.75 tons) each. The heaviest block is around 15 metric tons (16.5 tons).
