What is the difference between wind/water tight, cargo-worthy and one-trip containers?

A “cargo worthy” container is also “wind and water tight” and still be certified for sea shipments. 

“One trip” containers are “cargo-worthy” containers that were manufactured within the last 1-2 calendar years and generally have little to no cosmetic issues and are certified for sea shipments.
