Container ships

Ovaj završni rad obrađuje kontejnerske brodove, kontejnere i kontejnerske terminale. Kontejneri su standardizirani prenosivi spremnici koji omogućuju prijevoz robe u svim modovima transporta, bez potrebe za prekrcajem tereta. Na osnovu 20-stopnog kontejnera proizašla je prostorna standardna jedinica za kapacitet kontejnerskih brodova ili terminala – TEU. Kontejnerski terminali su objekti u kojima se kontejneri prekrcavaju između dva ili više vrsti transporta Kontejneri se prevoze različitim vrstama teretnih brodova. Namjenski kontejnerski brodovi dizajnirani su sa dvodnima, dvostrukom oplatom te širokim otvorima grotla; sa ili bez poklopaca. Kontejneri su osigurani na brodu upotrebom vodilica ili opremom za učvršćivanje. Na osnovu promjena dizajna, uvjetovanih zahtjevima tržišta i napredkom tehnologije, proizašle su nove generacije kontejnerskih brodova. Prijevoz kontejnera morem okosnica je svjetske trgovine. U današnjoj globalnoj trgovini, kontejnerskim brodovima prevozi se oko 90% generalnog tereta.This final paper describes container ships, containers and container terminal. Intermodal containers are standardized transportable containers that enable goods to be transported in all modes of transport, without the need to transship cargo. A TEU or Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit is an exact unit of measurement used to determine cargo capacity for container ships and terminals. Container terminals are facilities where containers are transshipped between two or more types of transport Containers are transported by various types of cargo ships. The purpose-built container ships have a double bottom, double plating, and wide hatch openings; with or without hatch-covers. Containers are secured on the ship with the use of container’s guides or with lashing equipment. Based on design changes, conditioned by market requirements and technological progress, new generations of container ships have emerged. Container shipping by sea is the backbone of world trade. In today's global trade, about 90% of general cargo is transported by container ships
