The Mobile Tractor Unit (MTU) and Personal Depot are not considered containers, however they share some of the game mechanics and overlap in practical use.

The MTU is similar to an anchored container with a tractor beam attached. It will tractor in everything inside its ??? km radius. It has much less hitpoints than a container though and can thus easily be destroyed.

The Personal Depot is like a secure anchored container with a refitting service and a reinforcement timer. So it is very difficult to destroy and superior in most cases to using a secure container as a supply depot in deep space.

Jet-canning
The term jet-canning describes a miner jettisoning the mined ore into space creating a canister (not a container). This canister can then be filled up to its 27500 m3 capacity and hauled to station later. This reduces hauling time for solo miners or lets you easily cooperate with a dedicated hauler in a mining op. However it also risks loosing the ore to anybody who picks it up and doesn't mind the resulting suspect status (yellow flashy).
