The past few decades have witnessed incredible technological advancement in the international liner trade. Some port facilities now have semi-automated cranes with twin hoists (capable of lifting two 20-foot containers simultaneously) and dual hoists (two hoists on a single crane). Intermodal container transfer facilities are located both on-dock and off-dock. Automatic equipment identification is now being introduced in the form of machine-readable tags on containers and other equipment. Electronic data interchange facilitates communication. And double-stack trains move marine containers efficiently over long distances. The report deals with many of the issues that ocean carriers, railroads and ports have confronted in recent years. Specific innovations are described along with their economic, regulatory, political and labor-related aspects.
