Division and characteristics of containers

Kontejneri u pomorskom prometu služe za skladištenje i prijevoz dobara/tereta od proizvođača do krajnjeg potrošača. Osim u pomorskom, koriste se u kopnenom, zračnom i željezničkom prijevozu. Njihov dizajn, različite vrste i lakoća upravljanja istima je dodatno pojednostavilo prijevoz robe diljem svijeta. Otprilike 90% dobara u svijetu se prevozi kontejnerima. Prijevoz milijuna različitih tereta kontejnerima preko mora može izgledati jednostavno, no iza vrata jednog kontejnera se krije puno više! Kontejneri su se u posljednjih 20 godina enormno razvili, a radi njih su se gradili veći brodovi pa čak mijenjale i konvencije kako bi se prijevoz istih dodatno poboljšao. Mogućnost zatvaranja i plombiranja kontejnera je dodatno osigurao prijevoz robe, a time i izgradio povjerenje korisnicima. Pomorski transport dobara te kontejnerizacija su postali vrlo važan dio za trgovinu i globalne opskrbne lance.Containers in maritime transport are used for storage and transportation of goods/cargo from the producer to the final consumer. In addition to maritime transport, they are used in land, air and rail transport. Their design, different types and ease of management further simplified the transportation of goods around the world. Approximately 90% of goods in the world are transported via containers. Transporting millions of different cargoes in containers across the sea may seem simple, but there is much more hidden behind the doors of one container! Containers have developed enormously in the last 20 years, and because of them, bigger ships were built and even conventions were changed in order to further improve their transportation. The possibility of closing and sealing the container additionally ensured the transport of goods, thereby building the trust of users. Maritime transport of goods and containerization have become a very important part of trade and global supply chains
