What are the Disadvantages of container transport?​

Answer 1

Hey Mate

Good Afternoon

Here is your Answer...........

The disadvantages of container transport are as follows:

(i)The physical constraints, which involve a certain cost: Even though the container provides a certain security to the condition of the goods by protecting them from temperature variations, fire, and theft, certain physical constraints, such as high temperatures and a lack of ventilation inside the container, can cause damage. Such preventive measures against possible damage may therefore require rather costly special packaging as well as taking out special container shipping insurance.

(ii)The characteristics of the merchandise: In certain cases, a characteristic limitation of the merchandise may disrupt a container shipping plan. Indeed, the weight, volume, and dimensions of the goods may not correspond to those of a standardized container, and the load may therefore be rejected. However, it’s possible to do business with suppliers who adjust the dimensions of their products and packaging to suit containerization.
