Intrduction of Container Ship
In a broad sense, it refers to a ship that can be used to load international standard containers; in a narrow sense, it refers to a full-container ship in which all cabins and decks are dedicated to loading containers.
Container ships have many advantages. The first is that they can save loading and unloading labor and reduce transportation costs. Generally, cargo ships are shipped in single pieces or small assemblies, which is laborious and time-consuming. Container ships use internationally standardized containers to transport goods, breaking the traditional loading and unloading of single items in a bundle, greatly reducing the labor intensity of stevedores, speeding up loading and unloading, and reducing manual loading and unloading costs.
Second, using container ships for transportation can reduce the loss and loss of goods and ensure transportation quality. This is because the goods are packed into containers in the production factory and transported by road, railway, or waterway without unpacking, and the goods can be shipped directly to the user. In this way, the loss and loss of goods during transportation can be reduced, and packaging costs can be saved.
Third, container ships have high loading and unloading efficiency. The cargo loading and unloading speed of a container ship is about three times that of an ordinary cargo ship of the same tonnage, while the loading and unloading speed of a large high-speed container ship is almost 4-5 times that of an ordinary cargo ship of the same tonnage. In this way, the time for ships to dock at the dock can be reduced, ship turnover can be accelerated, and the utilization rate of ships, vehicles and other means of transportation can be improved.
Advantages of container ships:
1. Save loading and unloading labor;
2. Ensure the quality of cargo transportation;
3. Container ships have high loading and unloading efficiency;
