 Forming the basis of containerization, shipping containers are part of a transfer system based upon using steel intermodal containers (shipping containers). These containers are built to certain standard dimensions which can be stacked and transported, loaded and unloaded with optimum effectiveness over long distances. Shipping containers are often transported by semi-trailer trucks, ships and rail without being opened.
The containerization system was developed following World War II to be able to really reduce transport costs. These shipping containers likewise supported a huge increase in the international trade alliances. These days, for example, about 90% of non-bulk cargo is transported internationally by containers which are stacked on transport ships. It is estimated that 26% of all container trans-shipment happens in China. There are huge ships which can carry over fourteen thousand five hundred units.
At the start, few foresaw the extent of the influence that containerization will bring to the shipping trade. Benjamin Chinitz, a Harvard University economist predicted in the 1950s that containerization would benefit New York by allowing it to ship its industrial products more cost effectively to the Southern USA than other areas could. He did not anticipate that containerization would even make it more affordable to import such goods from abroad.
Of the economic studies on containerization, the majority assumed that the shipping organizations will soon start to replace older forms of transportation with the container systems. The studies did not predict that the process of containerization itself will cause a more direct influence on the variety of producers, along with increasing the overall volume of trade all around the world.
Containerization offers one crucial benefit which is improved cargo security. The cargo is less likely to be stolen as all the merchandise is not visible to the casual viewer. Usually, the doors of the containers are sealed and this means that any signs of tampering are more evident. There are numerous containers which are equipped together with high-tech electronic monitoring devices. These can be distantly monitored to detect changes in air pressure. This detection occurs when the doors are opened. These monitoring devices have reduced the "falling off the truck" syndrome that long plagued the shipping trade.
Before, there was some difficulty with incompatible rail gauge sizes in various countries. These days, most shipping ports now utilize the same basic size of container which has lessened the issues. These days, nearly all rail networks all around the world operate on a 1435 mm gauge track. This is considered to be the standard gauge, even if, a lot of countries utilize broader gauges. Some countries in South America and Africa make use of narrower gauges on their networks. All of these nations rely on container trains which makes trans-shipment between various gauge trains much easier.
