Container Ships What Are The Advantages

Container vessel transportation is an important means of realizing global transportation of goods, which can effectively reduce logistics costs, shorten logistics time and make goods in transit effectively protected. With the development of globalization, container shipping is becoming the first choice for enterprises to choose the logistics mode.

一、Advantages of Containerized Ocean Freight

1. Economic aspects: cheap freight rates

The ocean freight industry offers shippers the most competitive freight rates, especially for long-distance shipments. In comparison, shipping costs for ocean freight are typically four to six times lower than air freight costs. With low freight rates, ocean freight is the most economical international shipping option.

2. In terms of efficiency: both small and large cargoes can be realized

Regardless of the size of the goods being transported, ocean freight can fulfill basic transportation needs. Smaller cargoes can be combined with other cargoes to fill a container, thus achieving cost-sharing of transportation services. Larger cargoes can fill one or more containers, providing shippers with the option of bulk or full shipments.

Container vessel are the ideal way to transport large quantities of goods and were originally designed based on the convenience of transporting large quantities of goods or raw materials.

3. Safety perspective: guaranteeing safety and better closure

Container vessel are used to safely transport hazardous materials and dangerous goods. Maritime transportation is well versed in the handling of such cargoes and has developed sound regulations to ensure the safety of ships, crews, cargoes and the environment. As safety in maritime transportation improves, the rate of cargo loss due to accidents during transportation continues to decline. Containers are designed to keep the cargo sealed and locked during transportation, further improving the safety of shipments.

4. Environmental aspects: friendly and environmentally friendly Compared to shipping, air freight or many other modes of transportation have a much higher carbon footprint, giving shipping a greater advantage from an environmental standpoint.

On the other hand, ships offer the most carbon-efficient mode of transportation, producing fewer emissions per ton of cargo transported than any other mode. And with technological advances, this has led to a continuing downward trend in carbon emissions.

二、Domestic maritime and door-to-door transportation

1. Domestic maritime transportation 

Domestic maritime transportation refers to the domestic provinces and cities through the shipping to implement a way of trade, it can effectively open up the domestic provinces and cities between the barriers to trade, so that enterprises can efficiently and conveniently implement internal transactions.

2. door to door transportation 

"Door to door" is a comprehensive and complete logistics services, including from the originator of the location to the target between all intermediate stations and various services, the original dispersion of time-consuming, inefficient and inconvenient to completely change, so that from the sender end to the target end can quickly and accurately deliver goods to the hands of the target.

三、Trends in the development of containerized maritime transport

With the continuous development of technology and economy, containerized maritime transport is also evolving and upgrading. In the future, containerized shipping will appear the following trends:

First, digital technology will continue to be applied to containerized shipping, including logistics information sharing, automated operations, etc.; second, green environmental protection will become an important direction of development of containerized shipping, including the use of new energy, reduce carbon emissions, etc.; finally, containerized shipping will be closely integrated with inland logistics, forming a more complete and efficient logistics system.

In summary, containerized shipping is an indispensable part of today's global trade. It can significantly reduce cargo damage, improve efficiency and promote international trade cooperation.
