Problems and Perspectives in Shipping with Closed Containers
Problems and Perspectives in Shipping with Closed Containers
by
Auto shipping is a fairly recent still developing national and international industry. Not many car owners are aware of the possibility to ship their cars over vast distances by employing a dependable specialist company. Even now the business is being perfected and auto shipping becomes easier, safer, more widespread, more plausible, and more profitable.
Have you just won your dream car in an auto lottery; bought a car overseas; are you moving to another city? Before the dawn of the auto shipping industry you would have to either give up your dream, give up your car, or drive it (the car, that is, to pursue the dream) all the way yourself, suffering long monotonous (the word itself tediously rides on the wheels of 4 dull o’s) hours at wheel, expenses (expected and unexpected), damage (hopefully, mostly to the car) by criminal and natural elements, and, after you have mastered a few foreign-language audio-courses and listened to the entire King James Bible, some bad luck while passing through one of those sleepy American towns which are not what they seem. Now you can spare yourself all this trouble by calling a shipping company.
In the beginning of August 2007, CMA CGM S.A., the French and third largest shipping company in the world, announced the beginning of container shipping. The statement specified that each container could be loaded with at least 4 light vehicles of any make and that the new technology was a breakthrough in the transportation industry. It made possible “door-to-door” shipping – from the production conveyor to the distribution center – which guarantees complete safety.
Although the popularity of this method is increasing, the future of container shipping is still undetermined. The industry demands shipments of great complexity, risk and above all, responsibility. The makes large scale projects impossible to carry out successfully except for those large transportation companies able to obtain sufficient capital and technology to cover any problematic situation that may emerge.
The shipping company must be an experienced, qualified specialist to be entrusted with handling a cargo of expensive vehicles where even the slightest damage to them may lead to a financial nightmare for the company. An operator with a regular shipment schedule will need to hire a crew of permanent workers that have shown themselves to be skillful and gentle when dealing with the precious cargo. Such workers don’t come cheap.
The future of container shipping depends on the development of national and international business. Containers are mostly required for large-distance, large-scale operations, most often in trading between countries. If a country has good safe roads – and not all large countries do – and a sufficiently large network of car factories (foreign or domestic) than the quicker, easier, and less expensive open-carrier method may be standardized. Countries work to improve conditions (road quality and road crime), but these improvements may take several decades before the easier method may be popularly regard as safe enough.
The more widespread and efficient the means of any business become the more the tendency to adopt the cheapest of the effective options. A lot depends on whether large car manufacturers will be able to transport products straight across borders and into major cities and industrial centers.
