History
Container ships revolutionized global trade in the 1950s with the introduction of standardized cargo containers, allowing for more efficient and secure transport of goods. Before this innovation, goods were loaded and unloaded individually, which was time-consuming and costly. The concept was popularized by Malcolm McLean, an American businessman, whose design for the modern container ship significantly reduced loading times and cut shipping costs. Today, container ships are the backbone of international commerce, transporting vast quantities of goods across the globe, with some of the largest vessels capable of carrying more than 20,000 containers at a time.
