Container shipping involves transporting goods in standardized containers via various modes, including ocean vessels, rail, and trucks. This method streamlines global trade by simplifying handling and transfer between different transport systems. It forms the backbone of international logistics, enabling efficient movement of vast quantities of products. The standardized nature of containers permits automated loading and unloading processes.
