This presentata=ion covers the innovations in container shipping

1. INNOVATIONS SHAPING
CONTAINER SHIPPING
INDUSTRY

2. KEY INNOVATIONS
• With the dramatic importance of reducing bunker oil costs, coupled
with more legislation from the public sector and other stakeholders
relating to safety, anti-pollution and reliability, there is an increasing
need to come up with innovations in the shipping industry – an
industry that has been rather conservative until recently.
• Key innovations in several areas, such as when it comes to the
design of the ships themselves – hull-shape, material choices
(recycling), etc., mechanical components (propulsion, fuel,
propellers, etc), coating (and cleaning), as well as innovations in
major processes, such as ship financing.
• Key innovations from the vantage point of other key “players”, such
as ship yards, equipment manufacturers, ship financers, brokers,
classification agencies, etc.

3. RFID IN CONTAINER SHIPPING
• RADIO
FREQUENCY
IDENTIFICATION
• RFID based
devices are a
creative innovation
for tracking
intermodal
containers and
conveyances
• Certain devices
use active RFID,
GPRS, GPS &
Satellite
Communication
technologies.
• RFID is being
used to track
pharma, food and
sensitive cargoes
to avoid theft,
counterfeiting

5. TWORTIES!

6. FOLDABLE CONTAINERS!

7. FACTS ABOUT FOLDABALE
CONTAINERS
• Transport of empty containers, which arises from the need to reposition
containers, is an expensive business. This holds in particular for shipping
lines, which are usually responsible for container repositioning and have to
bear these container management costs.
• Shipping lines are known to follow various strategies to reduce the costs of
empty transport. A rather unfamiliar, but interesting option to save costs is
the possibility for tworties & to fold empty containers.
• This could save transport costs, but also transhipment and storage costs. In
this paper, we analyse the opportunities for commercial application of
foldable containers
• However, much depends on the additional costs that tworties and foldable
containers cause, that is, the cost of attaching OR folding and unfolding,
additional exploitation costs and any additional transport to places where
folding and unfolding can take place. The logistic concept plays a part in it,
but it should be a great challenge for designers and container producers to
develop a foldable container that generates limited additional costs.

8. SUPER RACKS – SOLUTION FOR
OVER HEIGHT CARGO
• Super racks are
height adjustable
containers
• – allows 4 step
adjustment (30 CM
per step)
• It can be extended
up to 13’ 6” (4.11
m)
• Tare weight 6 tons
– max payload 44
tons

9. HEAVY SUPER RACKS
• Heavy Super rack
is a 9 ‘ 6” height
adjustable flat rack
• Desogned for very
heavy cargoes
• – allows 4 step
adjustment (30 CM
per step)
• Tare weight 10.9
tons – max payload
192 tons

10. BIG SHIPS !

11. WHY BIG SHIPS ?
• We’re going to see a constant increase in
vessel size, which means a constant
lowering of unit costs, so in the long term,
we should expect rates to continue to
decline

12. BIG SHIP!

13. MSC OSCAR & MSC OLIVER!
• The container ship MSC Oliver is the largest container
vessel of the world together with her sister MSC Oscar.
The vessel was built in March 2015 by
Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering
• According to Mediterranean Shipping Company, the two
sister-ships are part from a bulk order for 20 vessels with
same size, which will be used for cost optimizations of
the company. With the new ships, the management of
MSC are trying to fight the low freight rates and
increased capacities of shipping.
• FACT: Cost of a port call USD 100,000
