  • noteTypes   show   Types

    Containers can be of different types, depending on the goods transported, and here the main types:

    The standard containers are containers with a closed roof, sidewalls and rigid ends. They are designed for front loading, which excludes all goods whose footprint does not allow loading doors and a stowage and lashing a right. The dry is suitable for all types of goods and in particular may carry dangerous goods. His poor ventilation makes it less suitable for the loading of live or chemically or physically unstable bulk-loaded (except special equipment).

    The super-ventilated containers are containers for general purposes which the surface of natural ventilation has been enhanced by opening vents in the frame rails. They are closed containers having a roof, sidewalls and rigid ends. They are ideal for transporting goods such as live plants that do not require a temperature controlled transport. These containers are weatherproof and allow the transport of most cargo safely. These containers are slightly narrower than the dry containers because of their design.

    The container flats, there are 2 types of flats, the flats rack fixed end (fixed end walls) and collapsible flats (to mobile end walls). The flats are containers for packing of goods of all kinds, just as they are not sensitive to weather. They have no fixed side walls. These containers are the only ones to accept, under certain conditions, goods in excess of height or width. They can be loaded from the top or sides.

    Open top containers are identical to containers for general purposes, but the roof of the container is moved (replaced by a tarpaulin). These containers are designed to facilitate loading / unloading vertical. They must be loaded with their tarpaulin and all their hoops

    The container platform or bolsters are platforms without any superstructure. ship's They are typically used for loading goods on board ro-ro (often ship's convenience). The lashing on these platforms is possible through the rings or iron hands located on the rails of the latter.

    The tank containers are divided into 2 major families tanks chemical and food; tanks can become food chemical contrast is not possible.

    Reefer containers are insulated "thermally insulated" fitted with keeping the temperature. They thus allow the transport of goods at a fixed temperature.



  • noteTechnical points   show   Technical points

    Coding, marking, identification proposed by the BIC (International Office of the container) gave the container a card has identitépropre each model.

    Strength to withstand multiple uses and constraints specific to transportation
    Portability of a transport mode to another
    Its ease of delivery using cranes and other gear
    Are accessibility that allows rapid loading and unloading
    Its generous interior volume
    Its ease of storage area with AC resistance which allows you to stack 5 containers

    The main element of the container is the platform of steel rails on which is a wooden frame to help absorb shock and vibration so natural. The latter can be replaced more easily than a single steel frame (which would be much heavier). Furthermore, the use of "inside" timber allows easy to implement various fastening system (eg wedges with nails). The point load strength of the frame based on the four corners of the platform is about 12000 pounds on 44 inch 2, the payload is 25 to 28 tons.

    As part of a storage stack, the masses can be applied to reach 150 tonnes, supported only on the four corners of the container at the bottom of the pile (for a maximum of 5 containers stacked). To secure this storage containers corners are "corner fittings" that act how pieces of lego. These corners are defined by the millimeter ISO 668 because they are used for handling by specialized carts, but mostly for stowage of containers on deck on boats, trucks or wagons and for the overlay. Without these "corner fittings" containers would not inter-modal.

    Finally, corrugated sheet metal walls can isolate the container and make it "out of water" while others "option" can define a special container.

  • noteForms Routing   show   Forms Routing

    When moving containers, we talk about operations of packing and unpacking :

    An ex-FCL FCL arrival: Full Container Load. From a sender A to receiver A.
    A FCL-LCL (Less Than a Container Load): From A and unbundling at the finish to different recipients.
    An LCL-FCL: grouping at the beginning to a recipient.
    An LCL-LCL, groupage departure and arrival unbundling.
    A consignment H / H (House to House) is home to domicile.Mais this term is imprecise and its meaning varies in the world. It is not necessarily conveyed in land by the carrier.
    A consignment P / P (Pier to Pier) is between two LCL-LCL consolidation centers. The words "member line to stuff and to strip" may specify the roles.
    A Door to Door shipping container means a slouch on the place of production and deposit on the place of delivery.
    A Door to Pier between the production site and a terminal to dock.
      The merchant haulage that the sender (or addressee as appropriate) will take care of pre and post-routing and FCL enassume costs. It provides a container, pack and puts it in the place designated by the line. It performs the same operations on arrival.
    The carrier haulage is distinguished by the fact that only the operations of packing and unpacking will be borne by the sender and recipient.

    The containers are becoming the basic unit of all sectors of transport :

    On Seas of huge container carrier of 15 000 TEUs for small feeders that transport them from port to port, making the commute from secondary ports and unloading area of super container ship.

    By road via trucks on which are mounted containers taken from the sea hub, then out of storage areas and customs control, or via the local rail.

    The aviation sector is not immune to the use of containers for ease of AC loading and unloading to reduce the turnaround time of aircraft.

  • noteMajor Ports   show   Major Ports

    At each port there are great parks where containers are stored or not used for repair. These stocks will vary in time according to the needs of exporters will not exceed the refund or importers. Currently, because of the Asian crisis and the strong Euro, there is a lot more imports than exports in relations between Europe and Far East. It will be too many containers in Europe and not enough in Asian countries. Moreover, some destinations, such as African ports, are structurally more importing and exporting. The downside is that these imbalances are forcing shipping companies to manage their sensitive stocks by buying, selling or rental of containers to minimize the duration of storage and transfer of empty containers
