Are foldable containers effective in repositioning empty containers?
Foldable containers are considered an effective solution to deal with the endemic imbalance in the repositioning of empty containers. Several foldable containers were commercialized without clear breakthrough in the market and most current researches are still limited to small pilot projects.
How can a foldable container reduce the cost of storage?
The satisfaction of such conditions and the eventual adoption of the foldable container by the market would reduce the operation costs by 50% to 60% , the storage space in yard and depot by 80% and CO 2 emissions by 20% [8, 12].
Are foldable containers economically viable?
In order to examine the economic viability of the developed foldable container as compared to a standard 40-ft high-cube container, cost analysis is performed for an example route, i.e., the Busan–Vostochny–Moscow route (Fig. 10), which involves both inland and maritime transportation.
Which containers are foldable or collapsible?
As mentioned above, the foldable or collapsible containers that have been actually commercialized to date are SIO, Fallpac and HCI. Among them, only HCI is fully foldable whereas SIO is collapsible and Fallpac combines collapsible and foldable features.
