Technical FAQs 4

Can foldable Containers save money?

One study suggests that foldable containers could result in a 50% reduction (25 million TEUs) of total volume of empty containers shipped globally per annum in 2010, equating to over US$1000 savings per empty container ( Boile et al., 2004).

Do foldable containers affect the shipping industry?

This paper analyzes the effect of foldable containers in various circumstances. Recently, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many unexpected situations have arisen in the shipping and logistics industries. In this study, we examine three key situations: shutdowns, demand fluctuations, and fleet size fluctuations.

Are foldable containers more effective than standard containers?

Furthermore, we developed an integer programming model to analyze through experiments the effect of foldable containers in each situation. The results show that foldable containers have proven to be more effective than standard containers in many situations, and they facilitate a faster recovery from container imbalances.

How many foldable containers are needed for the Inland network?

Out of a total of about 5000 containers, an estimated fleet and critical mass of just 695 foldable containers are required for the inland network under study (and the rest of the containers being conventional ones), with a 71% load factor on the back haul.
