Let’s learn about Containerization and transportation.<\/p>\n

Containerization\u00a0is a system of\u00a0intermodal freight transport\u00a0using\u00a0intermodal containers\u00a0(also called\u00a0shipping containers\u00a0and\u00a0ISO\u00a0containers).<\/sup>\u00a0The containers have\u00a0standardized\u00a0dimensions. They can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and transferred from one mode of transport to another\u2014container ships,\u00a0rail transport\u00a0flatcars, and\u00a0semi-trailer trucks\u2014without being opened. The handling system is completely mechanized so that all handling is done with cranes.\u00a0and special forklift trucks. All containers are numbered and tracked using computerized systems.<\/p>\n

Containerization originated several centuries ago but was not well developed or widely applied until after\u00a0World War II, when it dramatically reduced the costs of transport, supported the post-war boom in\u00a0international trade, and was a major element in\u00a0globalization. Containerization did away with the manual sorting of most shipments and the need for warehousing. It displaced many thousands of dock workers who formerly handled\u00a0break bulk cargo. Containerization also reduced congestion in ports, significantly shortened shipping time and reduced losses from damage and theft.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Before containerization, goods were usually handled manually as\u00a0break bulk cargo. Typically, goods would be loaded onto a vehicle from the factory and taken to a port warehouse where they would be offloaded and stored awaiting the next vessel. When the vessel arrived, they would be moved to the side of the ship along with other cargo to be lowered or carried into the hold and packed by dock workers. The ship might call at several other ports before off-loading a given consignment of cargo. Each port visit would delay the delivery of other cargo. Delivered cargo might then have been offloaded into another warehouse before being picked up and delivered to its destination. Multiple handling and delays made transport costly, time consuming and unreliable.<\/sup><\/p>\n
