A Critical Analysis of the State of the Art in Containerization

Abstract

This critical analysis of the state of the art in commercial containerization initially covers the concepts, equipments, and operations which constitute the environment with which reusable shipping containers must be compatible. It then proceeds to the technical areas of damage, materials evaluation, and design characteristics. Finally it deals with maintenance, which is an important cost element and then full life cycle costs.
