''Foldable'' container could transform global box logistics
CCS claims that the SeaFold 40'' box could potentially slash the cost of repositioning empty containers by 56%, save storage space by 80%, and drive down carbon
More than a fifth of containers are returned empty to their port of origin empty, according to estimates. CCS claims that the SeaFold 40' box could potentially slash the cost of repositioning empty containers by 56%, save storage space by 80%, and drive down carbon emissions by 70%.
In maritime operations, SeaFold containers deliver substantial cost savings for one-way cargo shipments through more efficient loading and unloading procedures. Their design allows for additional stowage space on mainline and feeder vessels, which in turn reduces the vessel's time in port.
For improved space and capacity utilisation ORBIS has introduced a returnable foldable large container (FLC). The OceanPak plastic bin is stackable and collapsible when empty. That increases efficiency and minimizes transport costs during intercontinental shipping, especially during the return transport.
