1) The document discusses containerization and various types of containers used for transportation including standard containers, open top containers, flatrack containers, and reefer containers. 2) It provides details on the dimensions, capacities, tare weights and maximum cargo weights of different container types. 3) Containerization revolutionized transport by reducing costs and improving efficiency through standardized handling and intermodal transfers. However, it also introduced challenges around infrastructure investment and empty container movements.

2. • Improve inventory positions
• lower operating costs
• Respond quickly to customer demands
• Increase inventory turns, improve line-level
accuracy
• Simplify compliance with regulatory requirements

3. All equipment that relates to the movement, storage, control and
protection of materials, goods and products throughout the process
of manufacturing, distribution, consumption and disposal.
1.Palletization 2. Containerizations

5. Flat transport structure that supports goods in a
stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift, pallet
jack, front loader or other jacking device.

6. • Palletization is the assemblage and securing of
individual items or work pieces on a platform.
• Effective Palletization can improve cycle times, reduce
time and labor costs of setup.
• Method of storing and transporting goods stacked on a
pallet, and shipped as a unit load.
• It permits standardized ways of handling loads with
common mechanical equipment such as fork-lift trucks.

9. Containerization is a systematic storage by
using standards that are standardized by the
International Standardization Organization

10. • ‘Article Equipment intended to facilitate the carriage of
goods by one or more modes of transport without
intermediate reloading'.
• 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

11. • Although having its origins in the late 1780
• 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

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

29. • Containerization was introduced for the first time in
Indian domestic market way back in 1966
• 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 .

30. • 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
