The vast majority of containers moved by large, ocean-faring container ships are 20-foot (1 TEU) and 40-foot (2 TEU) ISO-standard shipping containers, with 40-foot units outnumbering 20-foot units to such an extent that the actual number of containers moved is between 55%–60% of the number of TEUs counted.
However, successfully developing a smart port requires a more holistic multi-stakeholder approach that would require large-scale cooperation on many different levels. [17] Another problem with automation is the mass replacement of human workers, which has already led to protests in places such as the Port of Los Angeles. [18] Some governments ...

ISO 668 – Series 1 freight containers – Classification, dimensions and ratings is an ISO international standard which nominally classifies intermodal freight shipping containers, and standardizes their sizes, measurements and weight specifications. [1] The current version of the standard is the Seventh edition (2020), which integrates ...
The long-range identification and tracking (LRIT) of ships was established as an international system on 19 May 2006 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as resolution MSC.202 (81). [1] This resolution amends Chapter V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) , regulation 19-1 and binds all governments ...
Container transfer at the seaport can be sped up and container handling space can be reduced by transferring functions to an inland site away from the port and coast. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Distribution can also be made more efficient by setting up a link between the inland site and seaport as, say, a high-capacity rail link with a lower unit cost than ...
The International Union of Railways, UIC, [7] then standardised a container system for Western Europe called 'Porteur-aménagé', or "Pa-Behälter" / "Pa-containers" , based on the Netherlands' systems of waste disposal containers and 'Laadkisten' ("loading crates") for consumer goods. Used since 1934, these were at first 2.5 m × 2 m × 2 m (8 ...
