Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Shipping Containers for Transport

In a world that thrives on global trade, the shipping container has transformed the way goods are transported across continents. With their robust metal exteriors and standardised sizes, these rectangular boxes have made their mark on roadways, railways and oceans alike. But like all innovations, shipping containers come with their own set of advantages and disadvantages that influence the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact of goods transportation.

Advantages of Using Shipping Containers

Standardisation and compatibility: One of the most significant advantages of shipping containers is their uniform size and design. This standardisation allows for seamless integration across various modes of transportation. Whether it's loaded onto a lorry, placed on a train or stacked onto a ship, a shipping container fits perfectly, reducing the need for constant repackaging and handling.

Efficient loading and unloading: Containers are designed to be easily loaded and unloaded, streamlining the process and reducing the time required at each transportation juncture. This results in quicker turnaround times, which in turn lead to improved supply chain efficiency.

Protection and security: Shipping containers are built to withstand the rigours of long journeys at sea and rough handling during loading and unloading. This protective feature ensures that goods remain secure and intact, reducing the risk of damage or theft.

Modularity and flexibility: Containers can be easily stacked on top of each other, maximising the use of space on ships and at storage facilities. This modularity also allows for flexible shipping options, accommodating a wide range of cargo sizes and types.

Reduced pilferage and loss: The closed and sealed nature of shipping containers makes it difficult for unauthorised access, reducing the chances of theft and loss compared to traditional open cargo transport methods.

Disadvantages of Using Shipping Containers

Initial investment and maintenance: Acquiring and maintaining a fleet of shipping containers involves a substantial upfront cost. Additionally, these containers require regular maintenance to ensure their structural integrity and prevent corrosion.

Environmental impact: While shipping containers have played a pivotal role in globalisation, the increased reliance on them has led to concerns about their environmental impact. Container ships, for example, emit large amounts of greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change.

Inefficient use of space: Despite their modularity, shipping containers can sometimes lead to inefficient use of space, particularly when transporting smaller quantities of goods. This can result in extra costs and energy consumption.

Limited accessibility: In some regions, especially landlocked areas, the use of shipping containers for transportation can be challenging due to limited access to ports or suitable infrastructure for container handling.

Specialised cargo handling: Certain types of cargo, such as perishable goods or hazardous materials, require specialised storage conditions that may not be easily accommodated by standard shipping containers.

Shipping Containers Pros and Cons

Shipping containers have undoubtedly revolutionised the world of goods transportation, facilitating efficient movement of products across roadways, railways and oceans. However, these advantages must be balanced against the challenges of high initial costs, environmental concerns, and limitations in certain transportation scenarios.

Parts of Europe are currently baking in temperatures over 40° C/104° F. Despite this, travelers on the continent currently are able fly much more cheaply than go by rail – a far more climate-friendly option.

Europe’s cheap flights and pricey train tickets promote dirty forms of transport, campaigners say, with “outrageous” tax breaks encouraging people to heat the planet as they head on holiday. Train tickets are double the price of flights for the same routes, on average, according to an analysis from Greenpeace published on Thursday. The campaigners compared tickets on 112 routes on nine different days. To get from London to Barcelona, they found, the cost of taking the train is up to 30 times the cost of jumping on a plane. Holiday destinations across Europe this week have been baking in deadly heat made hotter by greenhouse gases released from burning fossil fuels. “€10 airline tickets are only possible because others, like workers and taxpayers, pay the true cost,” said Lorelei Limousin, a climate campaigner at Greenpeace. “For the planet and people’s sake, politicians must act to turn this situation around and make taking the train the more affordable option.” Flying is one of the most polluting activities a person can do and also one of the hardest to clean up. Unlike eating a burger or driving a car – which have cleaner alternatives such as plant-based meats and electric vehicles – there is no way to fly without changing the climate. Experts have criticised schemes claiming to offset emissions from flying as flawed.

Europe has a decent rail transport network, so it's not like the air travel is all that necessary to get around.

Air travel is subsided far more than rail travel with public money. Airports and other air related infrastructure eat up a lot of funds which could go into making railways more efficient.

In Europe, airlines pay no taxes on kerosene and little tax on tickets or VAT. Their emissions are only priced for flights within Europe – at a level below the social cost of carbon. A study published earlier this month by Transport and Environment, a green campaign group, found European governments lost out on €34.2bn from poor taxation on aviation in 2022. The “tax gap” is set to rise to €47.1bn in 2025, the report found. “In short: if you fly, you are subsidised; if you take the train, you are punished by higher prices – as well as the fact that the journey is often longer,” said (Linnaeus University Prof. Stefan) Gössling.

If anything, the situation is worse in the United States where passenger rail travel has been taking it on the chin since the 1940s. Video producer Dean Peterson reports on a three-day rail trip he took from Los Angeles to New York in which he describes how passenger rail routes declined over the past century. Though with the recent Infrastructure bill encouraged by a pro-rail Joe Biden, Amtrak is planning major expansion — provided that climate-denying Republicans don't get a chance to derail it.

Improvements in passenger rail service and rail infrastructure are a necessary part of addressing climate issues.
