Using primary and secondary data sources the pros and cons of using foldable containers as compared to standard containers are identified, and it is shown that a port can gain cost efficiencies by using foldable containers.
Furthermore the use of foldable containers can have significant impact on the cost of shipping. Shipping companies can save the additional costs of handling and carrying empty containers when they call at a port and the additional capacity in the ship can be used for extra cargo.
Capacity Improving Logistics Management Using Foldable/Collapsible Containers: A Case Study G 179 G constraints in ports for storing and repositioning empty standard containers are major concerns in the logistics and port industry. As an alternative, foldable containers have been introduced into the market.
Furthermore, given that port terminals or container depots may not have the right equipment for the folding and unfolding of the containers, shipping lines may be hesitant to adopt the technology and this may lead to other issues such as lower durability and high purchasing costs of foldable containers (Ng, 2012).
The costs and benefits of using foldable containers in these logistic concepts are calculated and compared with the situation in which standard containers are used. It is shown that
Staxxon''s foldable shipping containers, designed to reduce space and emissions during empty container transport, underwent design improvements based on union worker feedback,
What causes ''empty running''? Empty containers clog roads and ship terminals, causing port congestion and leaving little space to unload ships. This then forces many ships to wait offshore,
Abstract - With the tremendous growth of International trade and gloChinazation, Empty Container Management (ECM) is no longer a matter which shipping liners can afford to ignore due to
Foldable containers Only about 33% of container ships globally arrive on time at ports. The delays make container management difficult, so congested terminals are common. Limited
The global cost of repositioning containers is huge. According to Drewry Maritime Research (2015), in 2013 and 2014, 24% of all containers handled by port terminals as well as those
COLLAPSECON is the next evolution of shipping containers – a fully automated collapsible container that will improve operational efficiencies, deliver economic
Foldable containers have the potential to enhance the cost efficiency of the logistics industry and improve the problem of space allocation at seaports. Using primary and secondary data
Folding and unfolding of such containers take only ten minutes and four folded containers are connected or ''bundled'' together to form a single unit. These bundled single units are then
Economic benefits of deploying foldable containers: Reducing bunker and container management costs in multi-port shipping network
In a collaboration with shippers, carriers, terminals and depots, 4FOLD will secure operations through the whole supplychain and work on long-term benefits of the foldable containers.
