"Containerization's Benefits can't be contained." Explain this statement with reference to Logistic Management.

First of all selection of container would depend on the type of cargo. Then calculate the quantity of cargo that needs to be transported. Now, depending on the quantity, the size of the container that suits the cargo needs is decided. The length of most cargo containers are 10 ft., 20 ft., 30 ft., 40 ft., 45 ft., 48 ft., and 53 ft. Containers that are 20 ft and 40 ft in length are commonly used in ocean freight. Standard width of these containers are 8 ft, while standard height is 8.5 ft. Containers are also available as half height (approx. 4.3) or as high cube (9.5 ft.). One has to make sure that the weight of the cargo does not exceed the containers' rating, which is the maximum permissible weight of a container plus its contents. Now choose the container type from the options available. The benefits of containers are: Standardized Style and locking system. Ease of loading and unloading. Convenience in Portability. Affordability in Shipping Operations. Eco-Friendliness. Durability and Toughness for cargo operations. Factors to be considered in choosing a cargo container include cost and the convenience of loading and unloading the cargo. It is also necessary to ensure that the cargo containers once decided to be put in use meets all federal and international regulations. Containers should be properly labeled and have proper documentation. Especially tight restrictions are in place concerning the transportation of hazardous and dangerous cargo. There are numerous laws regulating the carriage of cargo at state and international levels. Depending on the type of cargo, there are specific laws for the cargo carried. FCL means Full Container Load. Here the container consists of cargoes meant for one party, i.e. consignee only. The cargo is stuffed at shipper's warehouse and is de-stuffed at consignee's warehouse. Here the responsibility of stuffing, stowing of cargo inside the container is of the shipper. Stuffing charges are on account of the shipper and the de-stuffing charges on account of the consignee. LCL means Less Container Load. Here the container consists of cargoes meant for different parties. The carrier collects cargoes from various shippers and stuffs all of them into a container at the pier. At destination, the carrier's agents de-stuff the cargoes from the container and deliver the cargoes to respective consignees. FCL / LCL means a shipment of goods in which the merchant is responsible for packing into the container and the carrier is responsible for unpacking the container. LCL/FCL means a shipment of goods in which the carrier is responsible for packing into the container and the merchant is responsible for unpacking out of the container.
