Container handling refers to the process of loading, unloading, and transporting shipping containers at ports and terminals. This involves specialized equipment like cranes and forklifts to move containers efficiently between ships, trucks, and storage areas. Proper container handling is crucial for maintaining the flow of goods in global trade. Effective container handling ensures that cargo is managed safely and quickly, minimizing delays and reducing costs. It also involves tracking containers using systems like RFID and GPS to monitor their location and status. Efficient handling practices contribute to the overall productivity of logistics operations in the shipping industry.
