New York, United States, Dec. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A shipping container is a durable container used for transporting, storing, and relocating goods. These containers facilitate the transport of commodities by land and sea utilizing trucks, railroads, and ships. Hence, multimodal product transport has become more efficient. In addition, the cost, convenience, and ease of keeping a large volume of goods have contributed to the growing popularity of renting shipping containers among businesses in various industries. A shipping holder is a container with handling, capacity, and transportation-resistant characteristics. Similar to cardboard boxes and pallets, containers bundle freight and commodities into massive unitized loads that are easily handled, transported, and stacked and may be packed densely on ships and in yards. They are made up of aluminum and steel.

Increasing Demand for Cargo Transportation Through Ships Drives the Global Market
According to Straits Research, “The global shipping containers market size was valued at USD 9,820.12 million in 2022. It is estimated to reach USD 14,098.85 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period (2023–2031).” There is a growing interest in transporting freight by water. This is explained by ships successfully delivering several goods to the opposite end while assuring cargo security. In addition, cargo ships are less expensive than air and road transport for transporting goods because they can transport significantly more cargo than other forms of transport. In addition, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), which addresses global trade, development, and investment issues, estimates that over 1,687 million tons of cargo are moved annually in around 177,6 million containers across a distance of 998 billion ton-miles. The need for cargo transportation by ship is anticipated to rise due to recent developments in commercial boats and significant players' development of better, more efficient cargo ships. These vessels will be outfitted with cutting-edge equipment, such as sophisticated sensors and navigation systems.
Anticipated Trend of Automation in Marine Transportation Creates Tremendous Opportunities
Several companies have contributed to the development of autonomous, state-of-the-art ships for use in passenger and freight transportation, which adds to the growth of the shipping sector due to the increase of automation and the demonstration of autonomous ships by industry titans. In conjunction with the Finnish ferry firm Finferries, Rolls Royce demonstrated the world's first fully autonomous boat. In addition, the Norwegian-built, fully autonomous container ship Yara Birkeland was expected to commence operations in 2020. Kongsberg, a Norwegian business, collaborated with Yara to produce all-electric ships in 2020. By reducing human error, similar global advancements implemented by other companies increase the safety and security of the onboard cargo and passengers.
