Technical FAQs 4

How will foldable containers affect exporters?

Despite the increase in operational complexity, one foreseeable impact of foldable containers is that the availability of empty containers for exporters should logically improve, since carriers would find it cheaper to rebalance stocks of foldable containers between IPI locations, as represented in Leg F of Fig. 2.

Can foldable Containers save money?

One study suggests that foldable containers could result in a 50% reduction (25 million TEUs) of total volume of empty containers shipped globally per annum in 2010, equating to over US$1000 savings per empty container ( Boile et al., 2004).

How many foldable containers are needed for the Inland network?

Out of a total of about 5000 containers, an estimated fleet and critical mass of just 695 foldable containers are required for the inland network under study (and the rest of the containers being conventional ones), with a 71% load factor on the back haul.

What is a solar panels on shipping container?

It not only transports the PV equipment, but can also be deployed on site. It is based on a 10 - 40 foot shipping container. Efficient hydraulics help get the solar panels ready quickly. Due to its construction, our solar panels on shipping container offers unmatched flexibility and maneuverability.
