Definition

Containerization is a logistics method that involves packing goods and freight into standardized shipping containers for efficient transport and handling throughout the supply chain. It revolutionized the transportation industry by introducing uniform container sizes, such as 20-foot or 40-foot containers, which can be seamlessly transferred between different modes of transportation, including ships, trucks, and trains. Containerization offers numerous benefits, including enhanced security, reduced cargo handling, faster turnaround times, and increased cost-effectiveness. It has become a cornerstone of modern global trade, enabling the efficient movement of goods across borders and optimizing supply chain operations.
