Ocean Container Shipping: Impacts of a Technological Improvement
2000
Overview
This paper demonstrates that the technological improvement in ocean shipping, containerization, has revolutionized the ocean transportation of general cargo. By handling individual pieces of cargo only twice, when loaded and unloaded from a container, less part labor and ship capacity are required to transport the same amount of cargo that would have moved as break-bulk cargo. The impacts of containerization on ocean shipping lines, shippers, ship design, trade flow networks, port competition, port design, port labor, port investments, and inland transportation are discussed. While it is clear that ocean container shipping plays an important role in international trade, it has generally been neglected in international trade research.
