ContainerizationContainerization● Is a system of cargo transport based on a range of steel

intermodal containers● AKA Shipping Containers or ISO Containers● Containers

– Are built to standardized dimensions (sizes)

– Can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances

– Can be transferred from one mode of transport to another viz container ships, rail and semi-trailer trucks, without being opened

● The system was developed after World War II, led to greatly reduced transport costs, and supported a vast increase in international trade

55

... Containerization... Containerization

● Initially containers were used for sea transportation (maritime transportation)

● Now are extensively used in inland transportation over rail & truck

● Used in both international & domestic trade● Idea of containers originated in 1956 by Malcolm

McLean, owner of a huge trucking company in USA● Containerization in shipping started in 1960s● Hawaiian Citizen was the Pacific's first full container

ship● In 1961, the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) set standard sizes for containers

66

... Containerization... Containerization● The container sizes need to be standardized so that

– Containers can be stacked one on top of the other

– Modes of transport such as ships, trains, trucks and planes can be built to stow containers

– Cranes at ports can be specially fitted or built to handle, load & unload containers

● Two most important & most commonly used container sizes

– 20-foot length AKA Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit [TEU]

– 40-foot length AKA Forty-foot Equivalent Unit [FEU]

77

... Containerization... Containerization● Factors that contributed to growth of container usage

– Integration of various modes of transport

– Elimination trans-shipping

– Reduced risk of damage & pilferage in transit

– Substantial reduction in logistical packaging of goods

● Globally, containers account for 80% of all cargo volume

● In 2007, Indian ports handled 6 million TEU6 million TEU

● By 2014, Indian ports are expected to handle 14.2 million TEU14.2 million TEU

● Container services started in 1966 & initially containers with a payload of 5 tonnes were introduced by India Railways [IR]

● In 1968, IR's first container service was between Mumbai & Ahemdabad

● In 1988, Container Corporation of India [CONCOR] was formed under IR to look after container traffic in India

● CFS and ICD service providers also extend value-added services, including customs clearance, less than container consolidation, refrigerated warehousing, hub-and-spoke services, etc.

2020


Distinction between an ICD & a CFS

● The main distinction between a CFS and an ICD is that a CFS is an off-dock facility located near the service ports, while an ICD is generally located in the hinterland (hinterland means interiors outside of port towns)

● Since a CFS is an off dock facility located near the servicing ports which helps in decongesting the port by shifting cargo and customs related activities outside the port area

● Functionally there is no distinction between an ICD / CFS as both are transit facilities, which offer services for containerization of break-bulk cargo and vice-versa

● These could be served by rail and / or road transport

2121


Functions of ICDs / CFSs

● Receipt and dispatch / delivery of cargo

● Stuffing and stripping of containers

● Transit operations by rail / road to and from serving ports
