What is container transportation?

Question 1: What is the operation flow of container transportation? Contact the freight forwarding company and tell them what size box you want, the consignee's address and the loading place, and the freight forwarder will give you a quotation. After you agree, the freight forwarder will contact the port team, so just wait for the package. After unpacking, the freight forwarder will collect money from you and give you the bill of lading.

Question: What does TEU mean in container transportation? TEU's maximum 20-foot equipment unit (container) refers to a 20-foot ordinary container.

Question 3: What does container transport carry? Containers basically transport all import and export goods, as well as domestic goods. Different types of containers hold different goods. The types of boxes are: ordinary boxes (general goods), freezers (goods requiring temperature, most commonly fresh food) and frame boxes (goods are too long). Super wide. Super high. Collectively referred to as: large goods) open-top boxes (open-top boxes are divided into soft-top boxes and hard-top soft-top boxes. Generally speaking, goods are super-high and hard-topped, which means that goods are not easy to be packaged from top to bottom. Clothes hanging box (this is the so-called clothes special box, which is not easy to wrinkle when hung in a suit box). Oil tank (only for liquid goods. Collectively referred to as: dangerous goods).

Question 4: What does a container transportation company do? 20-point container supporting business.

By boat. Train. Set the road.

Supporting facilities and equipment of wharf or container yard.

Manage scheduling and allocation

The key depends on the company's business scope and main body.

For example, China Railway Container Transportation Company is probably a train container business, and trains are generally domestic.

For example, China Shipping Group Container Transportation Company is probably a shipping container business, and there are ships at home and abroad.

This is a wide range of industries. . There are many supporting facilities, and the company can operate by itself, which is also an industrial chain.

Including logistics, warehousing, customs declaration trade and so on. . . .

Question 5: What types of goods must be transported in containers before they can be loaded in containers? Containers have specifications, generally 20-40 feet. The container can hold too many things. More things that can't fit in the container, such as long steel pipes, shipbuilding products (usually large), or liquids and gases, such as crude oil, are generally used in special fuel tanks and hydrogen. Containers are not sealed, or some bulk goods, generally large quantities of grain, coal and other minerals are directly bulk without bags. Containers are important containers for transportation. Except for some special items, most of them can be packed in containers.

Question 6: What are the characteristics of container transportation?

For a long time, the loading and unloading efficiency of ordinary bulk cargo transportation is low, the transportation time is long, the cargo damage is serious, the freight quality is affected, and the freight procedures are complicated, which affects the work efficiency, thus having a very adverse negative impact on the economic benefits of cargo owners, shipping companies and ports. In order to solve the above shortcomings that can't be overcome by ordinary cargo ships, practice has proved that the above problems can only be completely solved by container transportation.

How to speed up the circulation of goods, reduce the circulation cost, save the labor consumption of logistics, realize the rapid, low-consumption, efficient and efficient completion of the transportation production process, and deliver the goods to the consignee, which requires changing the mode of transportation to make it an efficient, effective and high-quality mode of transportation, and container transportation is just such a mode of transportation. It has the following characteristics.

First, efficient mode of transportation.

The high economic benefits of container transportation are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Simplify packaging and save a lot of packaging costs. In order to prevent the goods from being damaged in transit, it is necessary to have strong packaging. The container has the characteristics of firmness and sealing, which is an excellent packaging in itself. The use of containers can simplify the packaging, and some even do not need packaging, which can realize the unpackaged transportation of groceries and greatly save the packaging cost.

2. Reduce cargo damage and cargo difference, and improve freight quality. Because the container is a solid sealed box, the container itself is a solid package. After the goods are boxed and sealed with lead, there is no need to unpack and flip them on the way, and even if they are transported for a long distance or reloaded repeatedly, it is not easy to damage the goods in the box. Container transportation can reduce the damage and difference of goods caused by theft, humidity and defacement. Very popular with shippers and shipping companies. Moreover, due to the reduction of cargo damage and cargo difference rate, the waste of social wealth is reduced, which has great social benefits.

3. Reduce operating expenses and transportation costs. Because container loading and unloading are basically not affected by bad weather, the unproductive berthing time of ships is shortened, and because of high loading and unloading efficiency and shortened loading and unloading time, for shipping companies, the navigation rate can be improved, the shipping cost can be reduced, and for ports, the berth throughput can be improved, thus increasing revenue.

Second, efficient modes of transportation.

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.

First of all, 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.

In addition, due to the high container loading and unloading efficiency, 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. So as to improve the transportation capacity of ships, complete more traffic volume without increasing the number of ships and increase the income of shipping companies. In this way, high efficiency brings high benefits.

Third, the mode of transportation with high input.

Although container transportation is an efficient mode of transportation, it is also a highly capital-intensive industry. First of all, shipping companies must invest heavily in ships and containers. According to relevant data, the cost per cubic foot of container ships is about 3.7~4 times that of ordinary cargo ships. The investment in containers is quite large, and the high investment required to carry out container transportation makes the fixed cost account for a considerable proportion of the total cost of shipping companies, up to more than two thirds.

Secondly, the port investment of container transportation is also quite large. The wharf facilities of special container berth include the wharf shoreline and front, freight yard, freight station, maintenance workshop, control tower, concierge, container handling machinery, etc. The cost is very high.

Furthermore, to carry out container multimodal transport, it is necessary to have corresponding internal facilities and inland freight stations. In order to support the construction, it is necessary to build, expand, transform and update the existing roads, railways, bridges and culverts, and the investment in this area is even more amazing! It can be seen that without sufficient funds, it is difficult to achieve containerization, and we must do what we can and finally achieve containerization.

Fourth, a highly cooperative mode of transportation.

Container transportation involves a wide range, many links and great influence, and it is a complex transportation system engineering. Container transportation system includes sea transportation, land transportation, air transportation, ... >; & gt

Question 7: What are the advantages of container transportation?
