Containerization is a system of freight transport based on a range of steel intermodal containers (also “shipping containers”, “ISO containers” etc.). Containers are built to standardized dimensions, and can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and transferred from one mode of transport to another—container ships, rail and semi-trailer trucks—without being opened. The system, developed after World War II, led to greatly reduced transport costs, and supported a vast increase in international trade. It also boosted Globalization.

It includes the following:

• Classification of Containers
• Arrangements of Container
• Packaging of cargo in container
• Precautions of packaging the containers
• Marking of Container
• Container Leasing
• Constraints in Containerisation
