Kontejnerizovanim

Kontejnerizovanim, often referred to as containerization, is a system of transporting goods that involves loading them into standardized containers. These containers are large, reusable steel boxes that can be easily transferred between different modes of transport, such as ships, trains, and trucks. This method revolutionized international trade by significantly reducing the time and cost associated with loading and unloading cargo. Before containerization, goods were typically handled piece by piece, making the process slow, labor-intensive, and prone to damage or theft. The adoption of standard container sizes, like the 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU) and 40-foot equivalent unit (FEU), allowed for seamless intermodal transport, meaning cargo could move from origin to destination without being re-packed. This efficiency boosted global commerce, enabling businesses to reach wider markets and consumers to benefit from a greater variety of goods at lower prices. The infrastructure required for containerization, including specialized ports and handling equipment, has become a critical component of the modern logistics network. The term "kontejnerizovanim" directly relates to the process or state of being put into containers for transport.
