They transport various tank types including alloy, carbon steel, fiberglass, and industrial water pumps. The company ensures safe and efficient transport through proper procedures like careful loading and unloading that requires skilled workers. Customers praise their ability to promptly and reliably deliver tanks while maintaining safety.
FCL and LCL are two options for ocean shipping cargo. FCL involves one consignee filling an entire shipping container, while LCL allows multiple consignees to share space in a container. FCL is more secure as cargo is not mixed with others, but is more expensive since the entire container is rented. LCL is cheaper due to shared space but security is lower as cargo may get mixed or lost if not handled properly by the shipping company. Consignees should take measures like special packaging to protect cargo for both FCL and LCL shipping.

Introduction to the company and its history
Strategic Logistics Management Inc (SLM) is a logistics company based in the United States of America (USA). Many factories in New York City and Los Angeles are managed and coordinated by the group. Brook Brothers Company, which sells garments and is based in New York, has come into a partnership agreement with SLM. The contract's scope of work covers warehousing and distribution facilities for clothing packaged in various sizes of cardboard boxes. Pallets about 40 inches by 48 inches are used to compile the cardboard boxes. SLM has been tasked with planning logistics for Brook Brothers shipments from New York to Sydney, Australia, under a newly signed deal. The garments will be transported to and from Australia by SLM Inc. It has also set a monthly goal for freight units equal to 200 20-foot (TEU) of imports and exports. This paper will now concentrate on a logistics strategy that SLM will use to improve its ability to compete in Australian market segments.
The Products' Physical Characteristics
The cardboard boxes are stacked and boxed; a single box measures 48 inches (4 feet) by 40 inches (3.3 feet). The pallet's longer hand measures 4 feet, which is equivalent to 0.2 TEU when divided by 20. The gross weight planned for shipment is two hundred feet, which is equivalent to twenty TEU. It is made up of wooden boxes that will be shipped in a single crate that measures 4 feet by 3.3 feet wide by 3.5 feet tall. The container's gross volume would be 46 square feet. The load's volume per delivery is less than 1 TEU, so it's considered a small consignment. Small deliveries are compact and can be easily transported without the use of heavy transportation. Big consignments, on the other hand, will exceed 1TEU and, depending on their scale, will necessitate comparatively heavy transport.
Transportation mode
For any logistics firm, choosing the mode of transportation is important because it helps to ensure sustainability, cut costs, and ensure the productivity of the job. In other words, choosing the right mode of transportation would save money and satisfy the needs of consumers at any stage of the transaction. If a business prefers a bad mode of transportation, such as driving to transport goods abroad, it will incur additional costs that can be avoided if a better mode of transportation is used. To prevent compromising the transportation method, it is important to use a mode of transportation that can accommodate heavy goods while transporting a more decadent item. If two modes of transportation are capable of performing the function, it is critical to choose the one that will produce the least amount of waste and fulfill the importer's demands in the shortest amount of time.

CASE
CASE 9-1 Aero Marine Logistics
Aero Marine Logistics (AML) was incorporated as a private limited company in South Delhi in the year 1996. The promoters of AML are two professionals who had gathered 15 years of experience working for Tata Steel (one of the biggest and oldest companies in India) in the field of shipping, customs clearance, forwarding, and transportation. Over the last five years, AML has been successful in building an infrastructure and pool of experienced personnel to handle the entire gamut of logistics. In fact, it was one of the first companies to offer door-to-door delivery. It considers itself the specialist in customized solutions and services—a concept that is still unheard of in the transportation industry in the rural belts of northern India. AML handles the entire package of logistics for all its customers. Some of the services they offer include the following:
• Import consolidation. AML has a well-spread network of offices and trade connections in the United States, Europe, the Far East, and the Middle
East to render import consolidation by both air and sea to any part of India. It promises a personalized prompt service with value for cost.
• Door-to-door services. AML is fully equipped to deliver door to door, which includes cargo pickup from the supplier’s warehouse, warehousing prior to customs clearance, complete customs clearance of exports from overseas, and freight booking with airlines/shipping lines to receive cargo in India. It also undertakes local customs clearance and transportation to deliver to the door of the customer.
• Exports. AML has expertise in handling exports of various kinds of cargo by ocean and by airfreight. It ensures the timely movement of cargo at the most competitive rates. It takes care of both the complete export documentation formalities and the physical movement of cargo.
• Consultancy on customs and logistics. AML is well equipped with professionals to guide customers regarding various modes of transportation and to help customers to optimize utilization of space and save on freight. It acts as liaison with different authorities like the RBI (Reserve Bank of India), Port Authority of India, India Civil Aviation Regulatory Body, TEXPROCIL (The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council of India), DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade), and so forth, on behalf of clients for various permissions and quotas related to import and export of cargo. This could perhaps be classified as its most valuable service, which it hopes will build up its brand image. The red tape, bureaucracy, lack of work ethic, and corruption preclude anyone lacking either clout or established relationship channels (with babus, or permanent government employees, notorious for their apathy toward fulfilling job duties and with a penchant for bribe taking) to do business in India.
To enable it to offer these services, AML has partnered with various associates all over the globe to render forwarding.
The document discusses key innovations in the container shipping industry to reduce costs and increase efficiency. It describes how RFID is being used to track cargo and prevent theft. It also introduces the concepts of foldable containers and height-adjustable "super racks" to better utilize space. Finally, it explains how larger container ships like the MSC Oliver and MSC Oscar are allowing shipping companies to lower costs through economies of scale despite low freight rates.
Dumpster rentals are commonly used by homeowners, businesses, schools, and other organizations to manage waste. There are various sizes and types of dumpsters available to suit different needs. Factors like waste type, location, and dumpster size and type must be considered when choosing a dumpster. Larger dumpsters in 10, 20, 30, or 40-yard sizes are available for demolition or construction debris. Rental costs vary based on dumpster size and weight limits. Local dumpster rental companies provide affordable and convenient service.

Types of popular shipping container conversionsWebstrategies
Shipping containers have been around for a while now – since 1955 to be precise. During the better part of their existence, shipping containers have mostly been used for a single purpose, and that is transporting cargo across vast oceans.
The features that have made them so popular in shipping are their robust construction, durability, affordability and high security. This has enabled shippers to transport goods safely and securely over long rough distances.
Over the last few decades, however, shipping containers have been increasingly venturing out of their comfort zone and getting new and creative uses outside shipping: construction. It is the same features that made them powerhouses in shipping – i.e. robustness, durability, affordability, and secureness – that are making them very attractive construction materials. Shipping containers are now being converted into a number of structures to solve shelter-related problems. This articles reviews the common uses for modified shipping containers.
The document discusses how fiberglass tanks are manufactured. Fiberglass tanks are made of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). There are two main methods - the chopper gun method and filament winding method. Using the chopper gun method, glass fibers are mixed with resin and applied to metal molds to form the tank walls, bottom, and top. Proper resin selection is important depending on the intended contents. Accessories like fittings are added after assembly. A final gel coat layer protects the resin from UV damage. The manufacturing process can take up to ten hours depending on the tank size and complexity.
Business Model That Presents ( Operation Process...Carmen Martin
This document discusses how optimizing operations can increase revenue and sales through better container handling. It describes issues in the import stripping area that result in not enough empty containers being available for exports. Only 10 containers per day are shifted from import to export, but 70 are needed. The document proposes addressing this through equipment, labor practices, and process optimization to increase empty container availability for exports and improve customer experience.
In the vast field of international logistics and trade, various specialized containers help move products all over the world. While traditional shipping containers have been the mainstays of the field, but there's one niche in this area that is called a tank container. The cylindrical container, sometimes known as ISO Tank Container are engineering marvels that are designed to store, transport and handle large quantities of gasses, liquids even powders, safely and effectively.
This article will take you deep into the tank container world by exploring their background as well as their design, uses, and the crucial function they play in today's modern world economy.
A Historical Perspective
Before we get into the intricate details that are involved in ISO Container Tank design, we should go back in time to comprehend the historical background. Shipping containers were the catalyst for revolutionizing the world of logistics.
In the late 20th century, the metal shipping container that was standard also known as an intermodal container, revolutionized the way that goods were moved over land and water. However, moving gas, liquids, along with other heavy materials presented a unique challenge that needed a specialized solution.
Plastic alternative to metal shipping containersDeepak Rawal
In this presentation I have suggested the use of Plastic composites to make Intermodal shipping containers to save weight and overall freight cost in the lifetime of its use.
This document provides a literature review of the container market. It divides the container market into several important parts for analysis: containerization, globalization, port efficiency, container handling capacity, port investments, port competition, and market developments. The review examines trends in the container market since its introduction and analyzes whether the market follows a clear product lifecycle trend that could inform future forecasts. It concludes that the container market has seen minimal developments since its introduction and follows a normal product lifecycle trend.
“A Review Paper on A New Sustainable Approach in Building Construction: Shipp...IRJET Journal
This document provides a review of using shipping containers as a sustainable approach for affordable housing construction. It begins with an abstract summarizing the review of sustainable development and affordable housing literature. It then examines the opportunities and challenges of shipping container homes through case studies and an economic feasibility analysis. Finally, it discusses policy recommendations to facilitate the widespread adoption of shipping container homes in India by addressing regulatory barriers. The review seeks to provide a holistic understanding of the prospects and challenges of shipping container homes as a sustainable and affordable housing solution.
Used shipping containers can be a cost-effective option for storage or creative projects. They are readily available in various sizes and configurations. Buying used containers promotes sustainability by reusing sturdy construction that is built to withstand transportation. The primary benefits are lower costs than new containers, availability, and that used containers can be customized for different needs.

In other words, choosing the right mode of transportation would save money and satisfy the needs of consumers at any stage of the transaction. If a business prefers a bad mode of transportation, such as driving to transport goods abroad, it will incur additional costs that can be avoided if a better mode of transportation is used. To prevent compromising the transportation method, it is important to use a mode of transportation that can accommodate heavy goods while transporting a more decadent item. If two modes of transportation are capable of performing the function, it is critical to choose the one that will produce the least amount of waste and fulfill the importer's demands in the shortest amount of time.
Since the mode of transportation has an impact on SLM's efficiency and service provision, it must be carefu ...

CASE 9-1 Aero Marine Logistics
Aero Marine Logistics (AML) was incorporated as a private limited company in South Delhi in the year 1996. The promoters of AML are two professionals who had gathered 15 years of experience working for Tata Steel (one of the biggest and oldest companies in India) in the field of shipping, customs clearance, forwarding, and transportation. Over the last five years, AML has been successful in building an infrastructure and pool of experienced personnel to handle the entire gamut of logistics. In fact, it was one of the first companies to offer door-to-door delivery. It considers itself the specialist in customized solutions and services—a concept that is still unheard of in the transportation industry in the rural belts of northern India. AML handles the entire package of logistics for all its customers. Some of the services they offer include the following:
• Import consolidation. AML has a well-spread network of offices and trade connections in the United States, Europe, the Far East, and the Middle
East to render import consolidation by both air and sea to any part of India. It promises a personalized prompt service with value for cost.
• Door-to-door services. AML is fully equipped to deliver door to door, which includes cargo pickup from the supplier’s warehouse, warehousing prior to customs clearance, complete customs clearance of exports from overseas, and freight booking with airlines/shipping lines to receive cargo in India. It also undertakes local customs clearance and transportation to deliver to the door of the customer.
• Exports. AML has expertise in handling exports of various kinds of cargo by ocean and by airfreight. It ensures the timely movement of cargo at the most competitive rates. It takes care of both the complete export documentation formalities and the physical movement of cargo.
• Consultancy on customs and logistics. AML is well equipped with professionals to guide customers regarding various modes of transportation and to help customers to optimize utilization of space and save on freight. It acts as liaison with different authorities like the RBI (Reserve Bank of India), Port Authority of India, India Civil Aviation Regulatory Body, TEXPROCIL (The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council of India), DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade), and so forth, on behalf of clients for various permissions and quotas related to import and export of cargo. This could perhaps be classified as its most valuable service, which it hopes will build up its brand image. The red tape, bureaucracy, lack of work ethic, and corruption preclude anyone lacking either clout or established relationship channels (with babus, or permanent government employees, notorious for their apathy toward fulfilling job duties and with a penchant for bribe taking) to do business in India.
To enable it to offer these services, AML has partnered with various associates all over the globe to render forwarding.
The document discusses key innovations in the container shipping industry to reduce costs and increase efficiency. It describes how RFID is being used to track cargo and prevent theft. It also introduces the concepts of foldable containers and height-adjustable "super racks" to better utilize space. Finally, it explains how larger container ships like the MSC Oliver and MSC Oscar are allowing shipping companies to lower costs through economies of scale despite low freight rates.
Dumpster rentals are commonly used by homeowners, businesses, schools, and other organizations to manage waste. There are various sizes and types of dumpsters available to suit different needs. Factors like waste type, location, and dumpster size and type must be considered when choosing a dumpster. Larger dumpsters in 10, 20, 30, or 40-yard sizes are available for demolition or construction debris. Rental costs vary based on dumpster size and weight limits. Local dumpster rental companies provide affordable and convenient service.

Types of popular shipping container conversionsWebstrategies
Shipping containers have been around for a while now – since 1955 to be precise. During the better part of their existence, shipping containers have mostly been used for a single purpose, and that is transporting cargo across vast oceans.
The features that have made them so popular in shipping are their robust construction, durability, affordability and high security. This has enabled shippers to transport goods safely and securely over long rough distances.
Over the last few decades, however, shipping containers have been increasingly venturing out of their comfort zone and getting new and creative uses outside shipping: construction. It is the same features that made them powerhouses in shipping – i.e. robustness, durability, affordability, and secureness – that are making them very attractive construction materials. Shipping containers are now being converted into a number of structures to solve shelter-related problems. This articles reviews the common uses for modified shipping containers.
The document discusses how fiberglass tanks are manufactured. Fiberglass tanks are made of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). There are two main methods - the chopper gun method and filament winding method. Using the chopper gun method, glass fibers are mixed with resin and applied to metal molds to form the tank walls, bottom, and top. Proper resin selection is important depending on the intended contents. Accessories like fittings are added after assembly. A final gel coat layer protects the resin from UV damage. The manufacturing process can take up to ten hours depending on the tank size and complexity.
Business Model That Presents ( Operation Process...Carmen Martin
This document discusses how optimizing operations can increase revenue and sales through better container handling. It describes issues in the import stripping area that result in not enough empty containers being available for exports. Only 10 containers per day are shifted from import to export, but 70 are needed. The document proposes addressing this through equipment, labor practices, and process optimization to increase empty container availability for exports and improve customer experience.
In the vast field of international logistics and trade, various specialized containers help move products all over the world. While traditional shipping containers have been the mainstays of the field, but there's one niche in this area that is called a tank container. The cylindrical container, sometimes known as ISO Tank Container are engineering marvels that are designed to store, transport and handle large quantities of gasses, liquids even powders, safely and effectively.
This article will take you deep into the tank container world by exploring their background as well as their design, uses, and the crucial function they play in today's modern world economy.
A Historical Perspective
Before we get into the intricate details that are involved in ISO Container Tank design, we should go back in time to comprehend the historical background. Shipping containers were the catalyst for revolutionizing the world of logistics.
In the late 20th century, the metal shipping container that was standard also known as an intermodal container, revolutionized the way that goods were moved over land and water. However, moving gas, liquids, along with other heavy materials presented a unique challenge that needed a specialized solution.
Plastic alternative to metal shipping containersDeepak Rawal
In this presentation I have suggested the use of Plastic composites to make Intermodal shipping containers to save weight and overall freight cost in the lifetime of its use.
This document provides a literature review of the container market. It divides the container market into several important parts for analysis: containerization, globalization, port efficiency, container handling capacity, port investments, port competition, and market developments. The review examines trends in the container market since its introduction and analyzes whether the market follows a clear product lifecycle trend that could inform future forecasts. It concludes that the container market has seen minimal developments since its introduction and follows a normal product lifecycle trend.

2. Storage Container Pricing
At some point, your business may have need for temporary storage. For some, a like-new container
is important. To others, as long as it’s waterproof and wind-tight, a little rust or faded paint is no big
deal.
When it comes to shopping for a shipping container, you will quickly find that there is a wide range in
price. Containers can cost anywhere from $1,400 to $5,000, depending on a number of factors.1usd
=73.80 INR
Price and Condition
To find the right container for you, it’s important to understand the relationship between price
range and a container’s condition. Generally speaking, the newer the container, the higher the
price. But not always. In some cases, an older container could be in better condition than a newer
container if: 1) it has endured less wear and tear, 2) has little noticeable damage or, 3) has been
stored in better conditions.
Factors That Affect Price
Size ,Age ,Condition ,History ,Cost of delivery Permitting fees ,Customized features
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
3. 3 Container Price Points
If you are looking for a bargain and are the do-it-yourself type (or know
someone that is), the handyman container (also known as an ’as is’ container) is a
great option. These containers can have an extensive amount of damage, some
more than others. The more damage, the cheaper it will be.
You can find handyman containers for as low as $1,400. Handyman containers
may have mis aligned doors, holes, rust, dents or floors that have been damaged
by chemical spills.
If are looking to save some cash and don’t mind taking on a project, this is the
right container for you.

2. Middle-of-the-Road
If you are looking for a quality container at a reasonable price, then renting or
buying a used container might be the best way to go.
Renting
Renting a container is a popular option for many businesses. It’s an easy, affordable and
convenient way to temporarily store large amounts of stuff. At the end of the day, not
many people want to own a huge steel box. The major perk to renting is that once
your’e done with the container, you can call someone to take it away.
If you rent from a local supplier, expect to pay anywhere between $75-$200 per
month, depending on the size, features and condition of the container. Again, the
advantage of renting is that when you decide you’re done with it, you can call someone
to remove it. Some suppliers also offer a maintenance service or a liability waiver in case
your container is damaged.

Buying Used
Know this: there are plenty of used containers out there that are in good condition.
As long as the container has not been severely damaged, it will do what it’s meant
to do: protect and store your stuff. Containers are made of COR-TEN steel and are
designed to last. Buying used, means you get a durable product at a reasonable
price. Used containers for purchase can cost anywhere between $1,400-$2,600,
depending on the size and condition of the container.
Talking to you local supplier is key when buy a used ISO box. They know the
industry and what is available in your local area. They can talk you through things
like permitting, delivery needs, and features that would be a great fit for your
business.

3. Most Expensive
If you are looking for a high-quality container that has never been used and are
willing to pay full price, a ‘one-tripper’ is the right container for you. One-trippers
are containers that have been manufactured and shipped directly from China,
carrying their first load of cargo.
New containers cost anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000, depending on the size,
features and market price. Many suppliers offer new containers for purchase, so be
sure to ask. Learn about the In’s and Out’s of Buying a storage container.
New ISO containers are popular among industries that plan on using the containers
for frequent transport or storage and require the newest, most structurally sound
units available.

9. Shipping Container Market Statistics – 2027
The global shipping containers market was valued at $8.70 billion in 2019, and is
projected to reach $12.08 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 4.3% for the
forecast period 2020-2027.
A shipping container is a container with strength suitable to withstand shipment,
storage, and handling. These containers range from large reusable steel boxes
used for intermodal shipments to the ubiquitous corrugated boxes. The
containers are a means to bundle cargo and goods into large unitized loads,
easily handled, moved, and stacked, and can be tightly packed in a ship or yard -
similar to cardboard boxes and pallets. They are generally made up of aluminum
and steel. The size and type built of each container comply with specifications
and regulations formulated by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO).

China entered into the shipping container manufacturing in 1980 with the formation of
CIMC in Shenzhen, China, but only gained its greatest momentum beginning in 1993.
Not only was China’s low cost of labor an issue, but was also becoming the largest
producer and recycler of steel. Till 1995, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and most of
Europe were producing their shipping containers in Mainland China. Since 1996, CIMC is
the largest manufacturer of ISO containers in the world, and by 2007 China produced
82% of the entire world supply of ISO shipping containers. Now, there are many small
companies in China that fabricate the ISO certified containers.
Factors such as increase in demand for cargo transportation through ships and rise in
trade-related agreements supplement the growth of the shipping containers market.
Moreover, fluctuations in transportation and inventory costs hamper the growth of the
shipping containers market. However, factors such as anticipated trend of automation in
marine transportation and increase in marine safety norms are expected to
provideopportunities for the growth of the shipping containers market during the
forecast period.

The global shipping container market is segmented into container size, product
type, end use, and region. By container size, the shipping container market is
categorized into small containers (20 feet), large containers (40 feet) and high cube
containers (40 feet). By product type, it is divided into dry storage containers, flat rack
containers, refrigerated containers, special purpose containers, and others. By end use,
it is classified into food & beverages, consumer goods, healthcare, industrial products,
vehicle transport, and others. By region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe,
Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
12. Contd..
Increase in demand for cargo transportation through ships
There is a rise in demand for the transportation of cargo through water ways. This is
because the number of cargos are efficiently transferred to the other end in a securer way as
compared to other means of transportation. Moreover, cargo ships are less expensive for
shipping goods as compared to road and air transits. Ships can carry more cargo from one place
to another within a short span of time. As per the records of UNCTAD, approximately 1687
million tons of cargo is transported every year in around 177.6 million containers covering 998
billion tons-miles.
Rise in trade-related agreements
Numerous trade related agreements have been carried out between the developed and the
developing nations to transport goods from one place to another. This has enabled the
suppliers to choose water ways as a better and efficient means of transportation. This increased
inclination has led the cargo container manufacturers to develop better and efficient containers
of different shapes and sizes. This boosts the growth of the market. Also, free trade agreement
has enabled a reduction in duties and taxes.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
13. Contd..
Fluctuations in transportation and inventory costs
Carrying goods from one place to another requires a suitable mode of
transportation, which means there should be an efficient usage of the medium. The
cost incurred in transportation and holding inventory is another important factor that
has a negative impact on logistics. Price is the most significant factor that affects the
overall logistics services from the first function till the goods are delivered. This
continuous fluctuation in transportation and inventory cost of the material has
affected the shipping industry by enabling the customers to opt different methods to
transport the goods, which eventually suppresses the growth of the global shipping
containers market.

14. Contd..
Anticipated trend of automation in marine transportation
The steps toward automation and giant companies demonstrations of autonomous
ships has enabled various countries for joining hands to develop automated vessels to
be used in passenger and cargo transportation, which eventually leads to the growth of
the shipping industry. For instance, Rolls Royce and Finland based ferry operator
Finferries demonstrated the world’s first fully autonomous ferry. Also, Norwegian built
Yara Birkeland is a fully autonomous container ship, which is intended to carry
containers and is to start working in 2020. In addition, Norway based Kongsberg
partnered with Yara is planning to develop all electric vessels by 2020.

16. Multimodal and Intermodal Transport Mode
Choosing between Multimodal and Intermodal transport is important for
Shippers to optimize routing and total shipping costs. Sometimes a combination of
different transport carriers is better to achieve best total shipping cost, but it requires
more logistics coordination. Using only a single carrier may achieve the best routing
and require less paperwork. Understanding the difference between Multimodal and
Intermodal is important when choosing a carrier for your cargo, but the terms are
sometimes used incorrectly or interchangeably.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
17. Multimodal transportation
Multimodal transport (or combined transport) is per definition a combination of
at least two or more different modes to move your cargo from a place in one
country to another country. The main characteristic of multimodal transport is that
even though it includes various modes for transportation, it still falls under one
single bill of lading. That means the carrier is fully liable for the entire carriage even
though it is performed by different modes of transport such as Air, Rail Road or Sea.
A good example for multimodal transport is Rail-Truck. Carriers like DHL or UPS
are offering such a solution for example along China’s Belt-and-Road initiative for
goods to move from Asia to Europe. Another example is Sea-Air which is less
expensive than air but quicker than shipping only.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
18. Contd..
When shippers choose multimodal transportation for their cargo, it means that an
agent or the carrier is responsible for the entire journey. Having only one contract
minimizes coordination and communication expenses for you as a shipper, especially if
something goes wrong which leads to high efficiency in delivery time. With Multimodal it is
easy for you to track your containers because you only use once tracking interface instead
of several ones. Access to remote parts of the world with responsibility and liability of the
movement with only one carrier is another reason to choose Multimodal transportation.
Multimodal is considered to be a timelier, cost-saving shipping resource.
For instance, take a freight between Hamburg to Shanghai under Multimodal
transportation. After the cargo is packed in the containers. the carrier sends their own
designated trucking company to pick up the containers in Hamburg and bring it to the
Hamburg Port and after it can been brought to Shanghai, it is then brought to its final
destination again by a trucking company that works under the carrier. The carrier takes full
responsibility from the point of pick-up to the drop-off at the final destination. One
contract serves the entire stretch.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
19. Intermodal transportation
Intermodal transportation is a combination of two or more modes of transport
in order to move cargo from a place in a country to another place to a different
country. The main characteristic of intermodal transport and the biggest difference
to multimodal transport is that every part of the process it is contracted with a
different provider.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
20. Contd..
Let us use an example that includes rail, truck and ship! Someone (maybe you)
wants to move cargo from Munich to Singapore. In the beginning, a truck (hired by
you) would bring you an empty container to pick up the cargo. Once you fully loaded
the container with freight in Munich, the truck takes the container to a railroad yard to
move your container to Hamburg. It is then put on a container ship; your carrier takes
on full responsibility until your shipment reaches Singapore. At the destination, a truck
( also hired by you) picks up your container from the container terminal and delivers
your cargo to you (the consignee) where the containers are unloaded. In this case, it is
an Intermodal Operation as it involves several contracts, between different transport
service providers (truck, rail, sea) and between the buyer and seller.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
21. Contd..
With Intermodal transportation, you can choose carriers on your own and
leverage the lowest possible rates for each transport. It gives you better access to
equipment and good control over transit schedules capacities. Looking at
sustainability you can even choose environmentally friendly options to reduce CO2
emissions. Intermodal increases your flexibility, especially with handling, loading and
unloading cargo at different ports.
When doing intermodal transportation, it is easy to chase the best terms
separately with each company. However, this means more overhead for shippers, as
they need to keep track of several contracts with different providers. The shipper is
also responsible for handling the coordination of delays, as one company will not be
aware of the delays that another company might be having.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
22. Is Multimodal or Intermodal better for you?
If you choose multimodal transport, it means that you sign a contract with only one
carrier that covers the entire journey of their shipment, regardless of the number of
transport modes involved. The contracted carrier issues a Combined Transport Bill of
Lading or a Multimodal Bill of Lading. The advantages include:
The ability of the shipper to hold one carrier liable for the movement of their
freight
One contact for tracking a shipment
One responsible entity for meeting delivery requirements
With intermodal transportation, you sign multiple contracts – one with a freight
forwarder or ocean carrier, one or more with a trucking company, and one or
more for rail transportation
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
23. Contd..
Both Intermodal and Multimodal transport have their own advantages and
disadvantages with only one thing that sets the two transport modes apart: For
Multimodal you sign only one contract, for Intermodal more than one. The two modes
of transport optimize delivery times, reduce inventory costs and keep the level of
freight costs under control. However, many people tend to lean towards multimodal
transportation because it can provide shippers with a timelier, cost-saving shipping
resource. Multimodal freight can also be easier to manage since it is through a single
contract, unlike intermodal that is covered by various contracts. Intermodal shipping
can provide shippers with lower costs and more predictable pricing, but obviously
needs more effort to control and manage.

24. Types of cargo insurance
It’s common knowledge that conditions out at sea may get rough, which is why
many freight forwarders emphasize on the importance of properly packing and
securing your shipment. But given the unpredictability of mother nature, shipments
are never entirely safe.
Your lashes are securely in place, your pallets are properly stacked, and your
weight distribution is right. You’ve packed and secured your shipment by the book
and so well that you’re thinking about teaching a 101 course on how to prepare your
shipment. The container door shuts, and off it goes on its oceanic journey.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
25. Why cargo insurance is important
While it’s good (and highly recommended) to take all the preventive measures
you can to prevent your shipment from getting damaged, there’re always other
factors beyond your control. Unpredictable bad weather conditions and the lack of
proper packing by other shipments on board the vessel your cargo is travelling on
(for LCL shipments), for example, can easily damage your cargo. The fire that broke
out on board the Maersk Honam earlier this year should serve as a good example.
In ocean freight, it’s always better to be safe than sorry, and one way to do so is with
cargo insurance.
All shipping lines are legally obliged to provide coverage for the cargo they
transport on their vessels. But this coverage is very limited, and it’s advisable to buy
additional coverage to fully protect yourself.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
26. Different types of cargo insurance
Think of cargo insurance like your health and/or life insurance. As you can
imagine, there are plenty of cargo insurance you can choose from, each with its own
coverages and limitations.an overview of the more common types of cargo
insurance and their coverages.
Land cargo insurance
Land cargo insurance, as its name suggests, covers your shipment when it’s
being transported on land. This is generally when your cargo is on board a truck but
also applies to when it’s being transported or managed by other utility vehicles. This
insurance is domestic and coverage is only applicable within the country.
Coverage: Theft, damage from collision, and other risks.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
27. Contd..
Marine cargo insurance
Marine cargo insurance covers the sea (and air for air freight) leg of your shipment’s
journey. Unlike the land cargo insurance, this applies to international transportation.
Coverage: Damage from loading/unloading, bad weather, piracy, and other risks.
Marine cargo insurance policies are either renewable or permanent. If you’re not a
frequent shipper, it’s better to choose the renewable policy as it applies to one-time,
single voyages. These tend to be relatively inexpensive and can end up saving you a
considerable sum. As for frequent shippers, a permanent policy will cover you for a
determined period of time regardless of the number of shipments you’re sending.
Prepared by Prof.Harris Kumar
28. Types of cargo insurance coverage
Cargo insurance coverages include shipment transportation via water, air, road,
and rail. But to what extent you’re covered will depend on the type of policy you
choose. Pay close attention to the details of your policy and clarify any doubts you
may have with your insurance provider before signing the document.
All risk
The all risk coverage offers one of the broadest types of coverage with a wide
range of protection against external factors. In general, it covers most types of
physical losses and damages as a result of the external causes a merchandise may
encounter. This is usually for what’s deemed as “approved” or “general” goods, which
are goods that are new and not easily susceptible to losses and damages.

30. What’s excluded:
Damage to cargo as a result of negligence. A good example of this would be
knowingly shipping time-sensitive cargo to a port that’s known to constantly face
congestion problems.
Inherent vice. This refers to the deterioration of cargo due to its inherent nature
instead of external factors. One common trigger for this clause is the shipment of wine
and beer as the quality of such products may be affected due to movements and
temperature changes during transit.
Customs rejection
Cargo abandonment
WSRCC. Also known as war, strikes, riots, and civil commotions.
Loss of use/market. This applies when the damaged cargo causes profit losses.
Failure to pay/collect. Loss of goods as a result of non-payment will not be covered.
External factors including but not limited to: earthquakes, war, pollution, infestation,
etc.

31. Named perils policy
The named perils policy is also formerly known as the “Free of Particular Average”. Unlike
the all risk, it covers only the losses caused by the perils specifically named in the policy.
So it’s generally more limited. This policy can include:
Vessel collision
Vessel sinking
Derailment
Bad weather
Non-delivery
Fire
Earthquake
Theft, etc.

32. General average
General average is a maritime concept that, depending on the outcome of the
condition of your cargo following a peril at sea, could anger or relief some.
Under general average, all losses from damages caused during an unforeseen
problem at sea are to be divided among owners of the surviving merchandise on board
the same vessel. Meaning that as the owner of a cargo that has not suffered damages,
you’re liable to fork out financial compensation to the owner whose cargo has been
damaged or lost and/or the shipping line for damages to the vessel.
By default, general average is not covered under any of the types of cargo insurance
mentioned above and need to be specifically included. If you’re thinking of skipping this,
we’d recommend you to think twice. According to statistics, general average claims
happen every 8 years. Now while that doesn’t seem too frequent, you really don’t want to
be stuck with general average and have no coverage, especially given that general
average cases can end up costing hundreds of thousands of dollars and take years to
resolve.

33. Balancing out the Container Imbalance
Container imbalance is a continuous issue in the shipping industry where not
only container imbalance charges (CIC) and loss of profit is on the line. A nervous
market can make the imbalances more unpredictable.
Imagine, that you are looking for containers for your customers to ship
commodities. But you can’t seem to find any available containers taking that route –
at least not at a price you are willing to pay. It is probably also not the first time you
encounter this issue. The container imbalance is a phenomenon affecting the
container shipping industry across continents.

34. Contd..
In the perfect world, a container being shipped would already have shipments
waiting to get loaded. The container would then be on its way back, full of freight.
That is, however, not how it works in the real world. It’s a simple matter of a supply
and demand chain that creates container imbalance.
Every third container being shipped from Europe to Asia is empty. That can be due
to the lack of import in Asia. It can also be because of a lack of export in Europe to
keep up with the number of containers arriving at the ports. This mismatch of
import, export, and expenses are all components in the worldwide container
imbalance.

35. Corona worsens container imbalance
With China as a manufacturing hub, they are together with large areas of Asia often
faced with a deficit of containers. Large amounts of commodities need to be shipped
to Europe and the U.S. At the same time Asia has an export that exceeds their import.
They therefore often don’t have enough containers available. When the containers
then arrive in Europe and the U.S. they pile up at the ports and storages, as the
import these places exceed the export. This produces a surplus of containers. A
tendency that is assumed to grow, and thus creates a container imbalance across the
industry.
At least, that was how it used to be until the coronavirus began spreading. According
to the Container Availability Index (CAx) containers have started piling up in China.
This is leading to congestion at Chinese ports as well as interrupting sailings. All these
tendencies create equipment shortage in Europe and the U.S. where especially 40ft
containers are stuck at ports in China. In effect, turning the container imbalance and
the market upside down. A market that is still waiting to see just how big an impact,
the coronavirus will have on the industry.

36. Contd.. Heavy costs
It’s far from cheap having empty containers sitting around, nor is it inexpensive to move
them from port to port. Due to the container imbalance, around 10 percent of
the global container assets are empty containers. They also account for around 20,5
percent of port handlings around the world. The costs of repositioning all these empty
containers amount each year to between $15 billion to $20 billion across the industry.
Repositioning empty containers happen in the search of finding freight to ship.
However, to get these empty containers moved between countries, where there are
container imbalances, can be a costly affair. Among those charges, the container
imbalance charge (CIC) can make your life expensive. CIC is a fee a shipping line charge
when they relocate large quantities of empty containers. The charge works as
compensation for the cost of moving the containers.
Relocating the containers also include extra costs for drayage, transhipping at the
terminal, and empty warehousing when the containers wait to be relocated. All these
are expenses for an empty container, that doesn’t give much of a return.

37. Equipment sourcing despite container
imbalance
What can you do if no containers are available because of the container imbalance
between Asia and Europe? You have to choose between two container types; SOC
containers or COC containers.
If you ship into a deficit location, the carriers should be more than willing to have
more equipment available at that location. In that case, you should also be able to get
their equipment at a good rate, making COC the better choice for you.
But if your shipment goes to a surplus location, the carriers and container owners
might charge a higher price. They have no interest in paying for storage and
repositioning of your containers in the port of destination. If you still want to go there, it
might be easier to bring your own container, so the owner doesn’t have to deal with it.
