Extended data

After 1984, the world shipping market got rid of the influence of the oil crisis and began to get out of the trough, and container transportation re-entered the road of stable development. According to some data, the containerization degree of grocery transportation in developed countries has exceeded 80%.

According to statistics, by 1998, there were more than 6,800 container ships in the world, with a total container capacity of 5.79 million TEUs. Container transportation has spread all over the world, and it has entered a mature stage. Containerization of goods in world shipping has become an irresistible development trend. ?

The traditional mode of transportation has many shortcomings, such as many loading and unloading links, high labor intensity, low loading and unloading efficiency and slow ship turnover. Container transportation has completely changed this situation.

1) The loading and unloading of ordinary cargo ships is generally about 35t per hour, while the loading and unloading of containers can reach about 400t per hour, which greatly improves the loading and unloading efficiency. At the same time, due to the high degree of mechanization of container loading and unloading, the number of stevedores required by each team is very small, and the average labor productivity of each worker is greatly improved.

2) Because the container handling efficiency is high, it is less affected by the climate, and the ship's stay time in the port is greatly shortened, so the ship's sailing time is shortened, the ship's turnover is accelerated, the sailing rate is greatly improved, and the ship's production efficiency is also improved accordingly, thus improving the ship's transportation capacity, completing more traffic, and increasing the income of the shipping company, with high efficiency and high efficiency.
