The Advantages of Container Shipping
- Fast transportation at a low cost: Because the container is the unit that documents all the goods that it contains, it can be shipped quickly to its destination, as the information is detailed on the outside of the container, which simplifies the customs formalities in particular. For both the sender and the recipient, containerization also has a significant economic advantage over other means of transporting goods.
- A secure means of cargo transport with low energy consumption: The container provides great protection to the goods because once sealed, it’s a physical barrier against bad weather, temperature variations, fire, theft, and impacts during handling. The container thus greatly reduces the risks of deterioration, loss, and theft that can be found in ground transport. In addition, maritime transport has a lower energy consumption than other means of cargo transport.
- A versatile, highly flexible means of transport: While container shipping can be used to ship a large batch of goods to the other side of the world, it can also be used to send small goods a short distance. Container shipping is a versatile, highly flexible means of cargo transport since it can also be used to transport both dangerous liquid substances, such as hydrocarbons and chemicals, as well as solid products, such as foodstuffs (wheat, flour, feed for livestock, etc.).
