Container selection and inspection
At present, there are three series of international container standards, a total of 15 kinds. Which of the 15 types of containers is suitable should be determined according to the specific source conditions and port conditions of the route and the route of transportation, because this has a significant relationship with the successful completion of container transportation. Generally speaking, on the routes with less freight volume, the specifications of the selected containers should not be too large. Of course, depending on the density of the goods, if there are more light goods in the import and export goods, it is better to use a larger container. In addition, when deciding which container to use, you should also consider the cooperation with foreign shipping companies and cargo owners. Because, in the international multimodal transport of containerized goods, it is very likely that box exchange and interoperability with foreign shipping companies. Therefore, it is better to use a container model widely used internationally. The international multimodal transport of containers should be based on the principle of “door to door†transport. Therefore, when transporting containers, it is necessary to pay attention to the conditions of inland transportation. In order to adapt to the conditions of road and rail transportation, countries and regions with less freight and poor transportation conditions can also achieve “door-to-door†transportation, and “sub-box†transportation methods can be adopted. The sub-tank transport method means that the size of the sub-tank should be closely matched with the size of the mother box. Large international standard containers can be used for transportation at sea, and small containers for transportation in inland transportation. After the container transportation development is mature and the freight volume is increased, the door-to-door transportation of large containers will be gradually improved. In addition, some routes often occur due to the imbalance of supply between the two ports, resulting in a large number of containers returning to the air, which will not only reduce the economic benefits of container transportation, but also affect the development of container transportation. In order to solve the problem of empty container return, some countries' shipping companies use folding containers (COLLAPSIBLECONTAINER) on unbalanced routes. When the container is folded, its volume is only 1/4 of the fixed container, that is, the four containers are folded and overlapped to form a fixed international standard container. This method can greatly reduce the cabin loss when empty containers are returned. When selecting containers, the main consideration is to use suitable boxes according to the different types, nature, shape, packaging, volume, weight and transportation requirements of the goods. First of all, we must consider whether the goods are loaded, and then consider whether it is economically reasonable and whether it meets the transportation conditions required by the goods. Containers must undergo rigorous inspection before loading. Defective containers can cause damage to goods, but in the process of transportation, loading and unloading, cause damage to the box. Therefore, the inspection of containers is one of the basic conditions for the safe transportation of goods. When the consignor, carrier, consignee and Other related persons are handed over to each other, in addition to checking the box, the status of the box at the time of handover shall be confirmed in written form such as the equipment delivery order. Usually, the inspection of the container should: 1. External inspection. External inspection refers to the six-sided inspection of the box, whether there is any damage, deformation, breakage, etc., if any, the repair part mark is made. 2. Internal inspection. The internal inspection is to look at the inside of the box on six sides, whether it is leaking or leaking, whether there are stains or water marks. 3. Box door inspection. Check whether the door is intact, whether the door is watertight, whether the door lock is complete, and whether the door can be repeatedly opened. 4. Cleaning inspection. The cleaning inspection refers to the presence or absence of residues, contaminants, rust and odor in the box, and moisture. If it does not meet the requirements, it should be cleaned or even replaced. 5. Inspection of accessories. Inspection of the attachments refers to the state of reinforcement of the container, such as the support of the pillars of the pallet type container, the flat container and the upper extension structure of the open container.
