Modern containerization was born with the concept of intermodalism, the efficient transfer between modes of transportation (i.e., truck, train, ship). When international standards for containers were agreed on in 1961, the ground was laid not only for the dramatic reduction of import and export costs, but for the container industry and its contribution to global trade. Exponential, explosive growth in each soon followed. Today, the ubiquity of containerization over bulk is unchallenged.
In “The Containerization of Commodities,” Jean-Paul Rodrigue and Theo Notte boom argue that despite the current saturation of containerization in some commodities, opportunities for growth still remain in niche markets. In fact, the global ubiquity of containerization has, they contend, created more opportunities for containerization by virtue of factors that range from economies of scale to the availability of empty containers. Clearly, the niche is the key, and areas of current trade imbalances are cited by Rodrigue and Notteboom as obvious opportunities. Nevertheless, they add a cautionary note: Factors relating to complex logistics and ranging from the load units of available containers to transloading and terminal issues must be considered. While Rodrigue and Notteboom suggest there is little competition between existing global containerized and bulk commodity chains, Bloomberg News has reported a “decline in the fortunes of dry-bulk and tanker operators.” Bloomberg also notes a concomitant surge in some areas of containerization.
