Abstract
AbstractThe significance of maritime container transport is well known today, as is the importance it has had in the birth of the global village and how the drive for internationalisation has produced the immense traffic flows that feed it. The container is one of the many standardisation processes that make the industrialisation of maritime transport of general cargo possible. This form of transportation is used worldwide and therefore requires standardisation in all terminals in the world and for all means of transport. A great effort is being made to unify international standards, which are controlled by special organisations. But the need for standardisation inevitably clashes with the need for change dictated by technological evolution. The conflict between evolution and standardisation, somewhat common to all industries, is particularly accentuated in the field of global container transport and is conditioning its nonetheless explosive development.KeywordsShipping CompanyLarge ShipMaritime TransportPerfect CompetitionShip SizeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
