Talking about the characteristics of container transportation

The high economic benefits of high-efficiency container transportation are reflected in the following aspects:
1) Simplify packaging and save a lot of frugal packaging costs. In order to prevent the goods from being damaged during transportation, there must be a firm package, and the container has a strong and sealed feature, which is an excellent package. The use of containers may simplify the packaging, and some even do not need to be packaged, and complete the groceries without packaging transportation, which can greatly reduce the packaging cost.
2) Reduce cargo damage and increase cargo quality. Since the container is a firmly sealed box, the container itself is a solid package. After the goods are packed and sealed, there is no need to unpack and reload on the way. Once the ticket is in the end, even if it is transported remotely or repeatedly, it is not easy to damage the goods in the box. Container transportation can reduce the damage and spread caused by theft, wetting, fouling, etc., and reduce the cost of social households due to the reduction of the cargo loss rate, and also has great social benefits.
3) Reduce operating costs and reduce transportation costs. Since the loading and unloading of containers is basically not affected by the despicable climate, the non-manufacturing stoppage time of the ship is reduced, and the loading and unloading efficiency is high, and the loading and unloading time is reduced, which can be raised for the shipping company. The sailing rate and the cost of shipping the ship are reduced. For the port, it is possible to increase the strength of the berth, thereby increasing the throughput and increasing the revenue.



The high-efficiency traditional transportation method has many shortcomings such as many loading and unloading links, high work intensity, low loading and unloading efficiency, and slow ship turnover. Container shipping has completely changed this situation. 1) Ordinary cargo ship loading and unloading, usually 35t per hour control, and container loading and unloading, up to 400t per hour control, loading and unloading efficiency is greatly increased. At the same time, due to the high level of mechanization of container handling, the number of loading and unloading workers required per shift group is small, and the uniform production rate of each worker is greatly increased. 2) Due to the high efficiency of container loading and unloading, due to the small impact of the climate, the time for the ship to stay in Hong Kong is greatly reduced. Therefore, the voyage time of the ship is reduced, the ship's turnover is accelerated, the sailing rate is greatly increased, and the ship's production efficiency is increased, thus increasing. With the ship's transportation strength, without increasing the number of ships, more traffic can be completed and the revenue of the shipping company can be increased. Such high efficiency results in high efficiency.
Although high-investment container transportation is an efficient transportation method, it is also a highly cost-intensive industry. 1) The shipping company must make huge investments in ships and containers. According to the relevant materials, the cost per cubic foot of container ships is about 3.7 to 4 times that of ordinary cargo ships. The investment in containers is equally large, and the high investment required for container transportation makes the total cost of the shipping company's total capital equal to a large proportion, up to more than two-thirds. 2) The investment in ports in container transportation is also equal. The ship's facilities for special container berths include ship's shoreline and frontier, freight yard, freight station, maintenance workshop, control tower, concierge, and container handling machinery, etc., which are costly. 3) In order to carry out multi-modal container transportation, it is necessary to have corresponding internal facilities and mainland freight stations. In order to support construction, it is necessary to repair, expand, change and update existing roads, railways, bridges and culverts. The investment in this aspect is even more amazing. It can be seen that there is not enough funds to carry out container transportation, and it is troublesome to complete containerization. It must be based on national energy and complete containerization.
High-cooperative container transportation is a complex transportation system project with wide coverage, many links and great influence. The container transportation system includes shipping, land, air, port, freight station and customs, commodity inspection, shipping agency, freight forwarding company and other units and parts related to container transportation. If they do not cooperate properly, it will affect the performance of all transport systems. If a link is mistaken, it will definitely affect the overall situation, and even cause the production to stop and stop. Therefore, it is required to do a good job of all aspects of the transportation system and the high degree of cooperation between the various parts.
Multimodal transport Because container transport is changed between different transport methods, it is not necessary to carry the goods in the box and only need to change the container, which increases the efficiency of the replacement industry and is suitable for joint transportation between different transportation methods. During the transshipment and transshipment, the customs and relevant regulatory authorities only need to seal or seal the customs clearance and release, thus increasing the transportation efficiency. In the rest, because international container transportation and multimodal transport are a capital-intensive, intensive and demanding industry, it is a complex transportation system project, which requires high literacy for staff, technicians, and business staff. In order to be able to fully carry forward the excellence of international container transportation.
