practice of storing a number of pieces of freight.
 within a large container and transporting them as a
single unit.

5. The following are the importance benefits
of Containerization:
 Simple and Fast Deployment
 Improved Scalability
 Increased Portability
 Improved Security
 Enhanced Productivity

6.  Increased Portability
One of the greatest benefits of containerization is that
containers are highly portable.
 Improved Scalability
Scaling is also nearly instant as you are able to add and
remove resources rapidly.
 Simple and Fast Deployment
Its ability to simplify and speed up the deployment and
configuration processes.

7.  Minimizing risk of damage
 Minimizing of pilferage
 Safety of export goods
 Reduction of packaging expenses
 Standardization
 Flexibility

8.  Standardization :
ISO standard
unique identification
number and size type code
 Flexibility:
commodities & goods manufacture
liquid and refrigerated goods
 Safety of export goods:
It reduce spoilage and losses
It contents to carriers

9.  Site constraints
 Capital intensiveness
 stacking

10.  Site constraints:
Large consumption for terminal space
draft issue with large containerships.
 Capital intensiveness:
It handling infrastructure and equipment are important
investment.
 Stacking:
complexity of arrangement of containers.
both on ground and on modes.

11.  General containers
 Thermal containers
 Special containers

12. It is also known as dry storage container.
It is standard container.
The following are various container under this
category:

 Bulk Container (opening on top e.g. like petrol or water
tanker)
 GarmentContainer (Hanger built in them to hung the
garments)
 Ventilated Container (For Coffee,Tea)

13. Specifically designed to carry cargo that requires
refrigeration or thermal insulation.
 Heated containers
 Refrigerated containers:
E.g. Meat, Fish etc.
 Insulated containers:
fruits, vegetable etc
