The Business of Containers History of Shipping Containers: Many people think the Shipping Container was invented in China – this is not true. The first shipping container was invented and patented in 1956 by an American named Malcolm Mc Lean. Mc Lean was not an ocean shipper, but was a trucker and by 1956 he owned the largest trucking fleet in the South and the fifth largest trucking company in all of the continental United States. He saved his money and bought his first truck in 1934. During those years all cargo was loaded and unloaded in odd sized wooden crates. The process was very slow and certainly not standardized. After observing this slow and inefficient process for 20 years, he finally decided to step back and develop some standardized way of loading cargo from trucks to ships and warehouses. Malcolm then purchased Pan Atlantic Tanker Company, which owned a bunch of fairly rusted tankers. He re-named the new shipping company Sea-Land Shipping. With this shipping company he could finally experiment with better ways to load and un-load trucks and ships. After many experiments, his final design is what we now know as the “Shipping Container”....super strong, uniform design, theft resistant, stackable, easy to load, unload, truck, rail, ship, and certainly store. The final boost to standardize Mc Lean's concept was the US Navy. And by the early 70's Shipping Containers were globally accepted. Although Mc Lean had the first concept and working system in 1956, it was the US military that finally did what was necessary to make the ISO shipping container accepted by every shipping lines and every country of the world. The shipping container invention of Malcolm Mc Lean has certainly changed the world and thus, it has changed the lives of every human on the planet. There were many who had similar concepts previously but McLean was simply the guy who really made the "standardized container" concept work globally. The global transportation industry responded rapidly to this new invention of the Shipping Container and the rest of the world also began to find more uses for this "super box", not just for shipping, but for other innovative applications. The new shipping containers was so well designed that it can hold tons of cargo inside, and also easily withstand the weight of 8 or 10 more fully loaded containers on the top of it. ISO shipping containers are the strongest mobile or stationary modular structure in the world. The shipping containers are dubbed as “the strongest box in the world”.
The Advent of Container Engineering: Shipping containers are some of the sturdiest and dependable storage devices of all time. They have completed the strongest test of cross ocean travels, exposing them to all sorts of weather conditions---- making it a no brainer that people all over the world have been utilizing them for storage and many other purposes for decades. With added options of Page 2 of 6
insulation, temperature control, and numerous other modification options, containers became versatile, but can also pass the test of both time and wrath of Mother Nature. In the beginning, the greatest interest in Shipping Container in various applications seemed to be the need to remove hundreds of thousands of surplus Shipping Containers sitting in the U.S. and other Global ports. By 2005 there were an estimated 700,000 containers sitting in U.S. ports alone due to the exploding growth of imports from China. The second reason for all the interest globally was the low cost of construction. Owning a small home or apartment using a shipping container seemed to gather much interest. But by the end of 2007 the stocks at U.S. ports were reportedly down about 25% and according to readers and Members of the Intermodal Steel Building & Container Homes Association, the biggest interest now was the incredible strength and versatility of a shipping container, not the surplus or low cost.
