The goods can be easily moved from one place to another in these containers that are loaded intact to container ships, trucks, railway cars and aircraft can be.
The concept of containerization is considered the most important innovation in the field of logistics, which revolutionized Cargo handling in the twentieth century has viewed.
Advantages of containerisation
Goods in lots that are too small for the traditional bulk can be moved by container.
Containerization is the best choice for high quality and delicate cargo, as it offers the security of human and natural Factors.
As a transport containers are intact, save considerable amounts of time and labor costs that arose elsewhere in the loading and unloading.
It prevents bad handling of goods from bulk systems.
The container can act as a mode of storage everywhere along the route.
Container ships offer regular services Ports overseas, so it minimizes the waiting time.
Containerization reduced the duration, the provides not only a means of marketing for the producer that bulk systems can not offer, but also helps to reduce storage costs and increased reliability.
Following part explains the containerization in the past, present Future:
The book value of the container ship launched in 1951 between Alaska and Seattle. The first purpose built container ship the Clifford J. Rodgers was in Montreal in 1955, commissioned by the White Pass & Yukon Route property built. In his maiden voyage she carried 600 containers between Skagway, Alaska and North Vancouver, British Columbia. These containers can be moved by rail, trucks and ships. In this way, gradually began the whole system of intermodal operations.
Malcolm McLean, the U.S. trucking industry player innovates the idea of using large containers, transferable to inter-modal basis. With the abolition of regulatory, Interstate Commerce Commission's Deregulation of the maritime rates, truck and rail, it was possible to develop fully integrated system.
Presence
Today, containerization has an integral part of logistics. It has revolutionized the cargo shipping. Today, almost 90% of non bulk moves taken from containers on ships for transport. A quarter of the total global container from China.
With the use of ISO standard containers, the size and type of commercial vehicles, the containers are always standardized.
Today is the improved security seen as an added charge of containerization. The cargo is not visible and therefore are rarely stolen and the Doors are of container so that their security can be guaranteed sealed.
Worldwide standardization of sizes of containers, the problems of Incompatibility and track width decreases. Today, most of the trains in the world at 4 feet 8 ½ inch gauge, but in many countries are active, such as Russia, Australia, Spain and Finland while countries in Africa and South America use narrower gauges.

Many companies are designing the freighter in the situation of 14,000 TEUs.
Container traffic from Asia is expected to grow faster in the near future. Containerization in view of the extension is likely to go far more quickly in China. Asia's share of the world's container exports to total exports is expected to reach nearly 64% in 2015.
Past
The effort involved in cargo container ship in the early 19th Century initiated. These containers could shift from trains, ships or trucks be. The containers were then used much less than what we see today.
