3. History of Containers

4. History of Containers
• The US military finally did what was
necessary to make the ISO shipping
container accepted by every
shipping line and every country of
the world.
Benefits:
• The cost of loading freight was
reduced by more than 90%
• The cost of products were reduced.
• In 1956, loose cargo cost $5.86 per
ton to load. Using an ISO shipping
container, the cost was reduced to
only 0.16 cents per ton.

materials: toxic, corrosive,
highly combustible, and
oils, milk, beer, wine,
mineral water, chemicals

or other anti-corrosive
materials providing them
with long life and
protection to the materials.

12. REFRIGERATED ISO CONTAINERS

controlled low temperature.
• Exclusively used for shipment
of perishable substances like
fruits and vegetables over
long distances.
