1950x: Cargo Hell
Multiplicity of goods
Multipilicity of methods
for transporting/storing
Do I worry about how
goods interact
(e.g. coffee beans next
to spices)
Can I transport quickly
and smoothly
(e.g. from boat to train to
truck)

Solution: Intermodal Shipping Container
…in between, can be loaded
and unloaded, stacked,
transported efficiently over
long distances, and transferred
from one mode of transport to
another
A standard container that
is loaded with virtually
any goods, and stays
sealed until it reaches
final delivery.

• Massive reduction in losses due to theft or
damage
• Huge reduction in freight cost as percent of
final goods (from >25% to <3%)
• 90% of all cargo now shipped in a standard
container
• Order of magnitude reduction in cost and time to
load and unload ships
