Container Information

Overview

Container

An intermodal container, often called shipping container, be designed and constructed for the transportation of general cargo on sea (above or under deck) and on land (road or rail) throughout the world, and will be suitable for the environmental conditions imposed by those modes of transport.

Moving goods in containers has literally transformed shipping and logistics over the past 50 years, bringing all sorts of benefits in terms of economies of scale, standardization of ships, cranes and handling equipment and boosting throughput efficiency at ports and terminals to an extent that would be otherwise unimaginable.

─ Speech by IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim ( European Shipping Week Event - Safety in the Intermodal Supply Chain, )
