Logistics

Question 1

Containerization.

Answer 1

• The system, developed after World War II, dramatically reduced the costs of transport, supported the post-war boom in international trade, and was a major element in globalization.
• Containerization has its origins in early coal mining regions in England beginning in the late 18th century.
• Containers occasionally fall from ships, usually during storms; according to media sources, between 2,000[57] and 10,000 containers are lost at sea each year.
