One-minute analysis of the advantages of shipping containers


  Container transportation is indispensable in logistics. Next, I will briefly introduce Shipping container its advantages.

  1. High efficiency

  1) Simplified packaging, significantly reducing packaging costs. In order to prevent goods from being damaged during transportation, solid packaging is required. Shipping containers are strong and sealed, and are good packaging in themselves. Some do not need packaging, and packaging-free transportation of general cargo can greatly save packaging costs.

  2) Reduce cargo damage and improve cargo transportation quality. Shipping containers are strong and sealed boxes. After packaging and sealing the cargo, there is no need to unpack it during transportation. From the beginning to the end, whether it is long-distance transportation or multiple transfers, the goods will not be easily damaged. Shipping container transportation can reduce cargo losses and freight caused by theft, moisture, and soiling, reducing the loss rate of goods can reduce the waste of social wealth, and also bring great social benefits.

  3) Reduce operating costs and save transportation costs. Loading Shipping container and unloading are basically not affected by bad weather. Therefore, the non-productive berthing time of ships is shortened, and the loading and unloading efficiency and loading and unloading time are shortened. For shipping companies, this improves the sailing rate and reduces shipping costs. In the case of ports, it improves the berth throughput capacity, increases throughput, and increases imports.

  2. High efficiency

  The disadvantages of traditional transportation methods are multiple loading and unloading links, high labor intensity, low loading and unloading efficiency, and slow ship turnover. Shipping container transportation has completely changed this situation.

  1) Ordinary cargo ships generally load and unload about 35t per hour, Shipping container Loading and unloading reaches about 400t per hour, and loading and unloading efficiency is greatly improved. At the same time, due to the high degree of mechanization of loading and unloading, the number of loading and unloading workers required for each team is small, and the labor productivity of each worker has greatly improved.

  2) High loading and unloading efficiency and less impact from the weather, so the time ships stay in port is significantly shortened, the ship's sailing time is shortened, the ship's turnover is fast, the sailing rate is greatly improved, the ship's production efficiency is improved, the ship's transportation capacity is improved, and more transportation can be completed without increasing the number of ships, increasing the income of shipping companies, and improving efficiency.

  3. High collaboration

  Container transportation is a vast, multi-linked, and complex transportation system project with a wide range of influences. The transportation system includes sea transportation, land transportation, air transportation, ports, freight stations, customs related to container transportation, commodity inspection, shipping agents, freight forwarding companies, and other agencies and departments. Improper cooperation will affect the function of the entire transportation system. If some parts go wrong, it will affect the overall situation, and may even lead to the stoppage and interruption of transportation production. Therefore, it is required to achieve high cooperation between the various parts and departments of the entire transportation system. Shipping containers
