MARITIME TRANSPORT

Dry storage containers are
some of the most common
containers used in the
shipping industry.They are
designed to transport dry
goods. These containers do
not allow for temperature
controls, so they are not
suited for moving food or
chemicals that require
refrigeration
The idea of loading goods onto trucks and then transporting
them on boats came about 60 years ago from Malcom McLean, a
truck driver from North Carolina.
McLean vastly improved the process by allowing goods to travel
in containers that can be removed from the truck chassis and
loaded or unloaded directly onto the ship.
The next step was to standardize the dimensions of the
containers to facilitate their handling in trucks, trains, ships and
ports around the world.
A decade later, with the help of the American Navy, the
standardization of containers led to the development of an
international standard called ISO (International Standards
Organization) shipping container.
The standardization of container dimensions had a massive
impact on world trade. Manufacturers around the globe can offer
an unimaginable variety of products at low cost, loading the
goods in their factories and shipping them directly to stores and
warehouses around the world.

Flat rack containers come in the standard 20ft or 40ft
sizes. They are manufactured from steel with softwood
flooring. A go-to choice for freight forwarders, flat racks
are great for transporting heavy cargo which is difficult
to load from the front gate.
These containers have numerous lashing rings fixed in
the side rails, floor, and corners of the container — with
a high load capacity of up to 2,000kg (for 20ft) and up to
4,000kg (for 40ft). Some containers even come with
lashing winches, latching belts, and stanchions providing
added support and security for the cargo.
Most of the flat rack containers have forklift pockets.
Most of the flat rack containers have forklift
pockets. Some 40ft containers also come with
gooseneck tunnels at both the ends for easy and
safe transportation. It comes in 2 variants:
Non-collapsible Flat Rack – It has fixed walls
at both short ends giving it a stronger
construction and a higher top load.
Collapsible Flat Rack – It has collapsible
walls, which makes it easier to store and
transport.

Open Top Containers (OTCs) are a type of
container unit that is unique in structure. It is
characterized by an open-top that is covered by
a tarpaulin. It is specifically built to store large
unwieldy cargo that cannot be transported by
conventional containers. In addition to the opentop,
it can also be accessed through doors on
either end of the container that allows normal
goods to go through.
Most containers are manufactured from steel to
provide structural strength despite having a
discontinuity at the top. Reinforcements run
along all sides to keep the shape rigid and also
to support loads from all directions.
The cover on top and the doors can be locked
and are also sealed by the customs at a port.
While other containers are difficult to tamper
with due to the seal placed on the locks, there is
an additional challenge of sealing open-top
units.
For this reason, heavy-duty covers are used
and are kept in place by clamp locks that
cannot be unlocked without a special
device. Additionally, these containers are
monitored while in transit to prevent theft
or vandalism to the unit.
Loading and unloading operations are
carried out in a manner similar to any
normal container. Spreader cranes are used
to lift the unit up while container stackers
are used within the yard for arrangement.

A double door container is
constructed the same as a
standard ISO shipping container.
It is comprised of 14-gauge
corrugated steel panels and 1-
1/8″ thick marine plywood floor.
The difference is the
configuration of the doors. A
standard shipping container or
storage container has cargo
doors on one end.Is unique, as it
has cargo doors on both ends of
the container
Double door containers are available in both
20ft and 40ft sizes. Depending on availability,
they also come in both standard height (8’6″H)
and high cube (9’6″H) versions.
Double door containers are an excellent option,
as they allow you to access your items from
both sides of the container. They also give you
the ability to sort your items/product more
easily.

A foldable container, this is one of the specialized containers
made for the pupose of transporting sets or stacks of materials.
They are made of thick, strong mesh along rollers that allows
their easy movement.
Dimensions
In the library technical sense, a "magazine" paginates with each
issue starting at page three. Likewise, a "journal" has continuous
pagination throughout a volume. Thus Business Week, which
starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the
Journal of Business Communication, is a journal.
Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed.
Academic or professional publications that are not peer-reviewed
are generally professional magazines. The fact that a publication
calls itself a "journal" does not make it a journal in the technical
sense. The Wall Street Journal is actually a newspaper.
History of Magazine Publication
The earliest example of magazines was Erbauliche Monaths
Unterredungen which was launched in 1663 in Germany. It was a
literary and philosophy magazine. The Gentleman's Magazine, first
published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first
general-interest magazine.

Edward Cave, who edited The Gentleman's Magazine was the
first to use the term "magazine," ultimately derived from the
Arabic: مخازن makhazin ("storehouses") by way of the French
language.
Magazine Distribution
Magazines can be distributed through the mail, through sales
by newsstands, bookstores, or other vendors, or through free
distribution at selected pick-up locations. The subscription
business models for distribution fall into three main categories.
In the paid circulation model, the magazine is sold to readers
for a price, either on a per-issue basis or by subscription, where
an annual fee or monthly price is paid and issues are sent by
post to readers.
Non-paid publication means that there is no cover price and
issues are given away, for example in street dispensers, airline
in-flight magazines, or included with other products or
publications. Controlled circulation is the model used by many
trade magazines distributed only to qualifying readers, often for
free and determined by some form of survey.

An open side container has the same features as a standard shipping container or
storage container. The container is comprised of 14-gauge corrugated steel panels
throughout, lockable double doors on one end, as well as 1-1/8” thick marine
plywood flooring on the interior.
The major difference is the two additional bi-fold doors on one of the side walls.
The inner portion of the bi-fold doors can be opened similarly to the standard doors
on the end of the container. You can also open the bi-fold portion as well, giving
you access to the entire side of the container.
An open side storage container is also referred to as a full-side access container,
side access container or a side opening storage container. The open side containers
are only available in new or “one-trip” condition. .
The open side containers are available in 20ft and 40ft lengths. They are also
available in both standard height (8’6”H) and high cube (9’6”H) varieties (depending
on availability). Open side containers are particularly useful when it comes to
loading and unloading oversized materials.

A refrigerated container or reefer is
an intermodal container used in
intermodal freight transport that is
refrigerated for the transportation of
temperature-sensitive cargo.
While a reefer will have an integral
refrigeration unit, they rely on
external power, from electrical
power points (“reefer points”) at a
land-based site, a container ship or
on quay. When being transported
over the road on a trailer or over rail
wagon, they can be powered from
diesel powered generators (“gen
sets”) which attach to the container
whilst on road journeys.
Refrigerated containers are
capable of controlling
temperature ranging from
-65 °C up to 40 °C.
This type of container is
handled by Spreaders.

Insulated containers protects goods from
temperature which are used to move cargo
such as pharmaceuticals,chemicals, foods etc.
The thin wall of a standard dry container may
be effected with external climate severely in
hot summer days due to a lot of heat and
severe cold in winter season. Insulated
container helps to maintain consistent internal
temperature up to some extent.
The standard container can also be temporarily
made insulated by covering inner part of body
with necessary insulating materials.
In built insulated containers are
generally available in 20’ and 40’ .
However, the customization is
available with all insulated
container manufacturer.
An insulated container also prevent
rainwater getting inside the
container and minimize
condensation especially at door
opening area. The durability of
storage (long term storage) is
another advantage of insulated
container.

Tanker containers are
also manufactured as per
international standards
by maintaining quality,
safety and environment
issues. Each hazardous
chemical package has to
be mentioned UN
number, T code with
table, tank type etc. Tank
container pressure
vessels are also
manufactured with or
with non ISO measures.
Tank containers are normally
used to transport liquid
products, powders and gas
both hazardous and non
hazardous products.
Tank containers are made of
stainless steel with a
protective layer of aluminum
and polyurethane. The
capacity of a fuel tank
container varies from 27000
liters to 40000 liters. Both
smaller and larger fuel tank
containers are available.
