CONTAINERISED SERVICES

Containerized transport services refer to the transportation of goods using containers as the standardized units for packaging and shipping. This method involves the use of shipping containers, typically made of steel, to securely transport goods via various modes of transportation such as ships, trucks, and trains.

Standardization: Containers used in transport services follow standard dimensions, typically 20 feet or 40 feet in length. This standardization allows for efficient handling, stacking, and transportation of goods across different modes of transport. It also enables easy transfer between ships, trucks, and trains without the need for repackaging.

Intermodal Transport: Containerized transport services are designed for intermodal transportation, meaning the containers can seamlessly move between different modes of transport. Goods can be loaded into containers at the point of origin, transported via trucks to a port, loaded onto a ship, and then transferred to another truck or train at the destination. This intermodal capability reduces the need for manual handling and speeds up the overall transportation process.

Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness: Containerized transport services offer efficiency and cost-effectiveness in various ways. The standardized containers enable streamlined logistics operations, including loading, unloading, and warehousing. Containers can be easily stacked, maximizing the use of available space in ships, trains, and storage yards. This efficiency helps reduce transportation costs and improve supply chain operations.
