The use of Containers in global logistics
These days, the industry knows the container as the backbone of global logistics. Although already invented back in the 30's, the container found its standardisation as the global loading unit only after the second world war, in the 50’s, due to the rapid growth of world trade.
But as the volumes of trade goods continue to increase year after year, the demand for containers and container space on ships and trains is also likely to increase. In fact, most industries are now reliant on a container for overseas or far inland transport.
The effect this has on the number of ports
And with this increasing demand for containers, the expansion of existing ports and the development of new ports is also on the rise. That’s why Joloda is on hand to partner with those who need to load and handle containers with our loading solutions.
