    Containerization-The Most Influential Invention That You'Ve Never Heard of

    Uploaded by

    Vinal Patel
    Containerization has significantly reduced transport times and costs for shipping goods internationally. It began in the 1950s as a more efficient alternative to breakbulk shipping, in which goods were loaded individually. By using standardized steel boxes that can be loaded and sealed, goods can now be shipped in containers that are easily transferred between ships, trains, and trucks. This has reduced transport times, for example between Europe and Australia, by over 30%. Around 90% of manufactured goods are now moved globally in containers. Containerization is considered one of the most influential inventions that has changed international trade and global supply chains.
