standardized large, reusable steel box used for transporting freight

AI overview

An intermodal container is a large, standardized steel box designed to carry freight and be moved easily between different types of transportation—like ships, trucks, and trains—without needing to unload and reload the cargo. This standardization makes global shipping faster and more efficient because the same container can be transferred between different transport modes without special handling.

集装箱,在香港及台湾一般称为貨櫃,在中國大陸一般稱為集裝箱,是一種按规格标准化的鋼製箱子。集装箱的特色,在於其格式劃一,並可以層層堆叠,所以可以大量放置於特別設計的,為世界各地的生產商提供比空運更廉價的大量運輸服務。一般的集装箱大船可以装五千到八千箱。货物集装之后,在水陆空转运的过程中就不需要再重新装箱,可以节省货主和船东的经费與時間。 集装箱在上船以前,一般由大卡车拉或者用火车從其他地方運往貨櫃碼頭;與此同時,當貨物到岸後,亦再經由這些交通工具把貨物從貨櫃碼頭運往目的地。 貨櫃是由美國商人(Malcom McLean)在1950年代所發想出來,他原本是卡車司機。1957年4月,世界第一艘貨櫃輪(Gateway City)開始航行於紐約、佛羅里達與德州之間航線。
