Only about 33% of container ships globally arrive on time at ports. The delays make container management difficult, so congested terminals are common. Limited space in ports stimulates innovation.

What is a foldable container?

Such foldable containers are compatible with the normal ISO-approved TEU or FEU and are strong enough to be placed anywhere on a shipboard stack. Any number of containers from 2 to 5, can be folded and stacked in such a way to form a regular container size for transport or storage.
