	Containerization - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Containerization is a system of intermodal cargo transport using standard ISO containers that can be loaded on container ships, railroad cars, and trucks.
		Containerization is an important element of the logistics revolution that changed freight handling in the 20th century.
		The containerization system, containers, tracking of containers, and moving of containers is extensively made use of in the HBO television series The Wire.

		Containerized cargo destined for a single consignee (an FSL container) is taken from the hold and attached directly to a truck chassis, thus eliminating the initial break-bulk handling by ILA labor at the pier.
		Since containerization, warehouse employees have performed precisely the same tasks, except that now instead of unloading trucks that were loaded by longshoremen they strip FSL containers that were loaded at the point of origin and have been delivered unopened to the warehouse.
		After containerization, these same services were performed by the warehouse by stuffing the accumulated cargo into a container with other cargo from the same shipper, which container could then be trucked to the pier and loaded onto the ship without further handling at the pier.

		Containerization and the Shrinkage of Longshore Work Containerization is a technological innovation that permits individual pieces of cargo to be packed into a large, reusable metal container that can be moved on and off an ocean vessel unopened.
		And with containerization, of course, the work formerly performed by the longshoremen has been rendered unnecessary because the container can be fastened to the chassis of a truck and transported intact to the trucking terminal or freight station.
		The Board concluded that containerization (and other factors) caused this work to be moved off the pier but did not eliminate it; the longshoremen were accordingly entitled to claim it back.

	Laminated bags for containerization of toxic or hazardous materials - Patent 5429242
		It is thus difficult to devise a containerization system that is suitable for farmers, safe for those handling the containers and also safe for the environment.
		The containerization system of the invention is characterized in that a hazardous material in a liquid or gel form is contained in a water soluble or water dispersible bag made of a laminated film.
		The laminated films for use in the present invention are used to produce packages which avoid the time-consuming and hazardous consequences of prior art packages which leak in the filling process or during subsequent handling due to film defects.

	Containerization changed shipping industry forever
		Containerization, which began in 1956, has cut shipping costs, reinvigorated markets, fueled the world economy.
		"Containerization has transformed global trade in manufactured goods as dramatically as jet planes have changed the way we travel and the Internet has changed the way we communicate," said Joseph Bonney, editor of the Journal of Commerce, the bible of the shipping industry.
		Its solution was a lift-on, lift-off program in which a gantry crane hoists containers, replacing the use of a wheeled chassis to transport loose cargo on and off vessels.

		Containerization plays a key role in today's global economy, but its role is not well understood.
		Containerization has reduced the cost of moving goods between continents to such a degree that today the world is essentially one big market.
		Containerization has transformed global commerce and the way that people in China, India, and other developing countries live, as well as those who shop for goods in developed countries.

	Containerizing the Joint Force
		Containerized trade is growing at an annual rate of 6 percent at U.S. ports and at an even higher rate internationally.
		Unlike a flatrack, a containerized roll-in-roll-out platform, known as a CROP, fits inside a container and is used primarily to haul ammunition.
		Combination containerships are vessels that can offload a portion of their containerized cargo but depend on seaport equipment or floating cranes to offload the rest.

	XBRL: Revolutionizing the Corporate Reporting Supply Chain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Like containerization, XBRL posits a single standard that permits business information to be "packed" at its source and "shipped" faster, at far less cost and with far greater security, through all the links in the corporate reporting supply chain.
		With containerization, separate and disparate links in the shipping supply chain act as one to enable the seamless, efficient delivery of goods across roads, rails and water.
		Containerization holds another lesson: The indirect effects of revolutionary technology can be as dramatic and far-reaching as their direct effects.

		Cycling safety and desirability are additional and important reasons for containerizing yard debris.
		Containerization seems like a good way to reduce problems for cyclists and others, especially since it also saves money.
		This might include public education, instructional text molded into the containers about their placement, instructions to truck operators to place empty containers out of the way of cyclists and an enforcement program.

	Cargo village plans for Karachi port -DAWN - Business; July 4, 2005
		This made international shipping and port industry a catch-up game for the third world economies viz-a-viz developed economies; the earlier the developing economies had their shipping fleet and ports restructured and recast as per the requirements, the better were their chances to share the rising benefits of the global trade.
		First container vessel was berthed at KPT (Karachi Port Trust) in December 1973, early 1982 a study by JICA (JAPAN), commissioned by Pakistan on containerization in Pakistan, recommended development of a modern, purpose-built integrated container terminal at KPT to enable the sea-borne trade and to enjoy the benefits of containerization.
		Containerization is at the core of multi-modalism that is currently the predominant operating model in global logistics.

	Containerization in Prince Rupert
		Containerization has provided shippers a strategic advantage gaining the ability to target smaller markets with less developed infrastructure.
		Clearly, the development of containerization facilities in Prince Rupert would be a strategic investment in support of international trade and economic development across BC and Western Canada.
		That the federal and provincial governments both commit to the development of containerized cargo handling facilities in Prince Rupert and commit to the principle of ensuring government controlled costs and fees are applied in a manner that represents equal and fair competition.

	NLRB v. International Longshoemen's Assoc. (1985)
		For example, prior to containerization, some interstate truckers would pick up cargo at the pier, drive a short distance to a central facility, and then unload and reload the cargo to meet weight, safety, or delivery requirements.
		As the Board found, prior to containerization some short-term cargo storage work was performed by longshoremen at marine terminal warehouses, and containerization has "diverted" some of this traditional longshore work to off-pier warehouse.
		As discussed previously, containerization made it possible to take entire truckloads directly from the ship's hold to these warehouses and truck terminals, so that a loading and unloading process that used to take place twice now need be done only once.

	The Passing of a Pioneer
		McLean, who died May 25 at the age of 87, came up with the concept called ‘containerization,’ which forever changed how freight is shipped both in the U.S. and around the world.
		Since containerization would be a form of automation, numerous jobs were bound to be eliminated.
		Transportation historians put the impact of McLean’s containerization effort on par with the changeover from sailing ships to steam and from wooden ships to ones made from steel.

	APL: History - Containerization
		To realize the magnitude of this innovation, it’s necessary to understand how goods were transported prior to containerization.
		For the private sector, containers held the promise of secure, dry storage of cargo and controlled climates and added shelf life for perishables.
		Yet, despite favorable reports about the use of containers, the concept of containerization seemed far-fetched to all but the most forward-thinking in the early 1950s.
