Revolutionize Shipping with Foldable Shipping Containers: A
How do foldable shipping containers save money? By minimizing the number of trips required for transporting empty containers and optimizing storage space, foldable
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.
More than a fifth of containers are returned empty to their port of origin empty, according to estimates. CCS claims that the SeaFold 40' box could potentially slash the cost of repositioning empty containers by 56%, save storage space by 80%, and drive down carbon emissions by 70%.
The industry perceives that foldable containers can generate numerous benefits such as reductions in capacity constraints at loading centres and storage, reduction in port infrastructure expansion costs and large benefits to the shipping industry by way of providing a direct solution to the problem of repositioning empty containers.
