What is Container transportation and shipping?
A container, also known as a “cong” or “cont” in Vietnamese, is a large rectangular steel box with a hollow interior and lockable doors. It is an essential product in the transportation and industrial sectors, enabling safe and convenient transport and storage of goods, thereby promoting global industrial trade.
Container transportation refers to the method of transporting goods using containers. These containers are specially designed units for transporting goods via road, sea, rail, or air.
History of Container Transportation
The container was invented by Malcolm McLean in 1956. Initially, containers were used for sea transport, but they later became widely adopted across other modes of transportation, including road, rail, and air.
Importance of Container Transport
Container shipping plays a crucial role in trade and logistics. It helps reduce transportation costs, increases efficiency, and improves cargo safety.
Some notable benefits include:
- Better cargo protection, minimizing the risk of loss, damage, or theft;
- Higher space efficiency and reduced transport costs, as containers can hold a large volume of goods and are easily stackable;
- Greater flexibility and convenience when transferring between different transportation modes, thanks to standardized handling equipment;
- Promotion of international trade, as containers streamline customs processes and enable faster delivery.
Container transport is one of the key drivers of today’s global economy.
According to estimates by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), around 80% of the value of international trade goods is transported by container. Therefore, improving the quality and efficiency of container transport services is one of the top priorities in the logistics industry.
Containers come in various sizes and types, each designed to carry specific kinds of cargo. Common types of containers include:
- Dry containers: Used for transporting dry goods such as clothing, furniture, electronics, etc.
- Refrigerated containers: Used for transporting temperature-sensitive goods like food and pharmaceuticals.
- Open-top containers: Used for transporting items that don’t require enclosure, such as construction materials or steel.
Container transportation offers many advantages over traditional transport methods, including:
- High productivity: Containers can be loaded, unloaded, and moved quickly and efficiently, boosting transport productivity.
- High safety: Containers are designed to protect cargo from external impacts, reducing the risk of damage.
- Great flexibility: Containers can be transported by multiple modes of transport, helping to lower logistics costs.
Container transport is increasingly popular in trade and logistics. It is an efficient and flexible shipping method that meets the transportation needs of both businesses and individuals.
