The characteristics of container transportation

1. Ensure the safety of goods transportation. Container transportation significantly reduces the frequency of manual loading, unloading and handling in traditional transportation methods. This can prevent freight accidents such as damage, moisture damage and loss of goods caused by both human and natural factors, and reduce economic losses.

2. Save packaging materials for goods. The use of containers for transportation can simplify or eliminate transportation packaging, save packaging materials and costs, and reduce the cost of goods.

3. Simplify the procedures for freight operations. After the goods are transported by containers, with the container as the transportation unit of the goods, the complicated operation links are reduced and the freight operation procedures are simplified.

4. Enhance the efficiency of loading and unloading operations. Because the loading and unloading operations of containers are suitable for mechanization, the efficiency of their loading and unloading operations has been greatly improved. At the same time, it has significantly shortened the container's stay time at the station (port), accelerated the turnover of vehicles and ships, and facilitated the delivery of goods.

5. Reduce operating expenses and lower transportation costs. The damage and shortage of goods have been greatly reduced, and the insurance premium for goods has also decreased accordingly. After launching the 'door-to-door' transportation business, a large amount of warehouse construction costs and warehouse operation costs can be saved.

6. Facilitate automated management. A container is a standardized unit for transporting goods, which creates convenient conditions for automated management.
