Container Ships
Today most international ocean going cargo ships are container ships. These vessels are huge ocean
going vessels designed to transport hundreds of standard size containers upon their deck. The
revolution in ocean transportation that took place decades ago that resulted in using standard
containers for cargo made loading and offloading of these huge ocean going ships a breeze.
Furthermore it made the delivery time from the dispatcher to the recipient much shorter and ships
could be turned around faster which kept then in productive work rather than sitting idle at dock.
