Advantages of containerization

Answer Text:
Advantages of containerization
-Minimizes the risks of loss or damage of goods as containers are sealed at source
-Containers are lifted with devices which make movement and handling easy
-Saves time and labour in loading and off-loading due to use of machines
-Containers sealed at source in presence of customs officials may not be opened until they reach their final destination. This reduces delay.
-Special containers are available for goods requiring special attention like chemicals.
-Insurance costs are relatively low as risks are less
-Space is saved when containers are used as opposed to when individual items are packed in the carrier.
