It’s an ongoing journey
It’s not just in the world’s seaports that everything revolves around the container. Once discharged on the quay, in whatever livery the box goes off inland ...
The success story of the container can hardly be compared with anything else. Whether open-top, flat-rack or standard containers - they all have a firm position in world trade. To ensure that the goods in the container as well as the container itself arrive safely at their destination, there are specialists for cargo securing who stow both goods and containers safely. This applies not only to ocean-going vessels, but also to inland waterway vessels, trains and trucks, where the container is perfectly secured. You can read about how this is done in the current issue of the Port of Hamburg Magazine.
