CONTAINERS

 ‘Article Equipment intended to facilitate the

carriage of goods by one ore more modes of
transport without intermediate reloading'. ISO.
 Containerization is a system of intermodal
freight transport using standard inter modal
containers as prescribed by ISO. These can be
loaded and sealed intact onto container ships,
rail road cards, planes, and trucks

1
 ORIGIN
 Although having its origins in the late 1780s or earlier,
the global standardization of containers and container
handling equipment was one of the important innovations
in 20th century logistics.
 Malcom Purcell McLean(November 14, 1913 – May 25,
2001 )was an American entrepreneur, often called "the
father of containerization". In 1956, he developed the
metal shipping container, which replaced the traditional
break-bulk method of handling dry goods and
revolutionized the transport of goods and cargo
worldwide

 BENEFITS OF
CONTAINARISATION

11
FACTOR ADVANTAGE
Can be manipulated anywhere in the world (ISO
Standard transport product standard).Specialized ships, trucks and wagons.
Raw materials (coal, wheat), manufactured goods, cars, frozen
products.
Liquids (oil and chemical products) and �reefers � (50% of all
refrigerated cargo).
Reuse of discarded containers.
Flexibility of usage

Unique identification number and a size type code.

Transport management not in terms of loads, but in terms of unit.
Management

Costs Low transport costs; 20 times less than bulk transport.

Transshipment operations are minimal and rapid.
Port turnaround times reduced from 3 weeks to about 24 hours.
Speed Containerships are faster than regular freighter ships.
Its own warehouse; Simpler and less expensive packaging.
Stacking capacity on ships, trains (doublestacking) and on the
Warehousing ground.

Contents of the container is unknown to shippers.

Can only be opened at the origin, at customs and at the destination.
Security Reduced spoilage and losses (theft).

 CHALLENGES OF
CONTAINARISATION

13
FACTOR CHALLENGE
Large consumption of terminal space; move to urban
Site constraints periphery.
Draft issues with larger containerships.
Container handling infrastructures (giant cranes,
Infrastructure costs warehousing facilities, inland road, rail access), are important
investments.
Complexity of arrangement of containers, both on the
Stacking ground and on modes (containerships and double-stack
trains). Loaded to avoid any restacking.
Requires management and tracking of every
Management logistics container.Recording, (re)positioning and ordering of
containers.
Many containers are moved empty (20% of all flows).
Either full or empty, a container takes the same amount of
Empty movements space.
Divergence between production and consumption;
repositioning.

Common instrument used in the illicit trade of drug and

Illicit trade weapons, as well as for illegal immigration.
Worries about the usage of containers for terrorism.

CONTAINARISATION
IN INDIA

20
 Containerization was introduced for the first time in
Indian domestic market way back in 1966 by the
Indian Railways to provide door- doors service to their
customers and attract cargo from road ways .
 In 1987 Government of India realized the importance
of containerization and started constructing a satellite
port at Bombay which commenced operations in 1988
and was christened The Jawaharlal Lal Nehru Port .
 Subsequently CONCOR created by Indian Railways
and it constructed the 1st ICD at Tughlakkabad.

21
 First container was handled at Cochin in 1973.
 Containerization has since grown substantially.
 1052000 TEUS in 1993.
 4637000 TEUS in 2005.
 6.60 Million TEUS in 2008
