Containerization is a modern phenomenon of the last

thirty years.
The moving of cargo over long distances in a reusable,

sealed, standard box by means of a relay between different modes of transport on land and sea.
For centuries land transport was hampered by bad or non-

existent roads.
In 19th century travel by water had became cheaper, faster

and more comfortable.

Although having its origins in the late 1780s or earlier, the

global standardization of containers and container handling equipment was one of the important innovations in 20th century logistics.
Malcom Purcell McLean was an American entrepreneur,

often called "the father of containerization". In 1956, he developed the metal shipping container, which replaced the traditional break-bulk method of handling dry goods and revolutionized the transport of goods and cargo worldwide

SITE CONSTRAINT: Large consumption of terminal space;

move to urban periphery. Draft issues with larger containerships. INFRA COSTS: Container handling infrastructures (giant cranes, warehousing facilities, inland road, rail access), are important investments. STACKING: Complexity of arrangement of containers, both on the ground and on modes (containerships and double-stack trains). MANAGEMENT LOGISTICS: Requires management and tracking of every container. Recording, (re)positioning and ordering of containers. EMPTY MOVEMENT: Divergence between production and consumption; repositioning.

ILLICIT TRADE: Common instrument used in the illicit trade

of drug and weapons, as well as for illegal immigration. Worries about the usage of containers for terrorism.
