Everyone has seen them and wondered what is inside them, or even if there is anything inside at all. Transport Containers, or perhaps plain containers. 

Delivery containers were conceived in 1956 and improved dockyards from labor-intensive to capital-intensive companies virtually over night. 

Shipping containers are large steel containers that were originally built to reduce the time a ship spent in port. Cash was saved in port charges, as well as permitting a ship to produce more round trips each year. A container ship could dock, unload and reload, if required, all in a fraction of the time it would took to unload a in the pre-container era. 

Shipping containers are 40 feet long and have a variety of uses. We see them stacked up in freight yards and on boats. we see them on trucks and trains and we see them outside plants being filled or just used as temporary storage. 

Container ships and thus shipping containers were designed to theft by dock workers and to speed loading time at the dockside. Before pots were introduced, a large number of individual packaging cases must be packed by hand, time intensive and therefore expensive. As they found their jobs disappearing and the endless stream of pilfered goods too dock workers proceeded strike. 

Container ports were built to handle the brand new container ships, with significant gantry cranes to change the shipping containers easily from practice to yard and then from yard to ship. 

The full time savings at the interface are only first, while the shipping container is quickly utilized in a vehicle and to its final destination, without any danger of theft. Flow time is paid off and more disposable cargoes could be taken. 

There are non-standard containers also. They're all the same size outside, however, many have hangers allowing clothes to be transported and unloaded directly to the shop floor. There are ventilated containers for crops like chocolate and coffee and there are containers with extra-wide doorways or lashing bars for additional load safety.
