Using Shipping Containers for Transportation & Logistics

Shipping containers have revolutionized intermodal transport around the world. With their standardized capacity and corrosion-resistant steel, shipping containers provide freight forwarders with a reliable — and repeatable — means of keeping cargo safe from bad weather, physical damage, and theft.

Beyond shipping cargo, transportation & logistics companies can repurpose containers as static storage units, warehouses, and even micro-distribution centers, providing a modular infrastructure for expansion with minimal capital investment.

Benefits of Using Shipping Containers for Transportation

Standardization

Shipping containers come in standardized sizes (20ft, 40ft, etc.), making it easy for logistics companies to plan and optimize cargo space in various modes of transportation, such as ships, trains, and trucks.

Intermodal Transport

Containers are designed to be easily transferable between different modes of transportation, known as intermodal transport. This facilitates the seamless movement of goods without the need for repacking.

Cargo Protection

Shipping containers provide a secure and weather-resistant environment for goods during transit. This helps protect the cargo from damage caused by external elements, theft, or tampering.

Efficient Loading and Unloading

The use of standardized containers allows for quick and efficient loading and unloading processes at ports and terminals. This reduces turnaround times and enhances overall logistics efficiency.

Optimized Storage

Containers are stackable, which maximizes storage space in warehouses and during transportation. This is especially important in port areas where space is at a premium.

Cost-effective

Standardization lowers handling costs and enhances supply chain predictability. Additionally, containers are reusable and minimize the risk of damage to goods, further contributing to cost-saving benefits.
