As a relative newbie to the container shipping industry, I’m looking forward to getting to meet as many exhibitors and visitors as possible over the coming three days. That’s the beauty of events – you can make meaningful and long-lasting connections over a short period of time. In Intermodal Europe, I’ve inherited an event which has been at the heart of its sector for many decades. One which connects buyers with suppliers enabling business discussions to be conducted in a neutral venue. Intermodal Europe is an event where new trends and innovations can be discussed and evaluated and where market insights can be gathered. I’m delighted that once again we will be welcoming the industry’s leading names alongside some other “first timers”. There is a huge range of products, services, solutions and innovations at this year’s show which will certainly keep you occupied over the next three days. We’ve created an engaging conference programme which will provide expert analysis and insights into the latest industry trends: from blockchain to the Belt and Road Initiative, cold chain logistics to IoT to a Worldwide Overview of the Container Shipping Market. Further information for all sessions is outlined further in this Guide. Please do come and meet the Intermodal Events team on stand E54 where we would be pleased to listen to your feedback and discuss your plans for 2020. On behalf of my team, I’d like to thank you for your continuing support and wish you a successful and productive Intermodal 2019.

  • Transforming Shipping Containers Into Primary Care Health Clinics
    Transforming Shipping Containers into Primary Care Health Clinics Project Report Aerospace Vehicles Engineering Degree 27/04/2020 STUDENT: DIRECTOR: Alba Gamón Aznar Neus Fradera Tejedor Abstract The present project consists in the design of a primary health clinic inside intermodal shipping containers. In recent years the frequency of natural disasters has increased, while man-made conflicts continue to afflict many parts of the globe. As a result, societies and countries are often left without access to basic medical assistance. Standardised and ready-to-deploy mobile clinics could play an important role in bringing such assistance to those who need it all over the world. This project promotes the adaptation of the structure of shipping containers to house a primary healthcare center through a multidisciplinary approach. Ranging from the study of containers and the potential environments where a mobile clinic could be of use to the design of all the manuals needed for the correct deployment, operation and maintenance of a mobile healthcare center inside a shipping container, this project intends to combine with knowledge from many sources to develop a product of great human, social and ecological value. 1 Abstract 1 INTRODUCTION 6 Aim 6 Scope 6 Justification 7 Method 8 Schedule 8 HISTORY AND CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERMODAL CONTAINERS 9 History 9 Shipping containers and their architectural use 10 Why use a container? 10 Container dimensions 11 Container types 12 Container prices 14 STUDY OF POSSIBLE LOCATIONS 15 Locations 15 Environmental

Consequently, errors which may appear have the largest impact on the final design. Two main aspects related to the design of structures are typically addressed in the initial design: analysis of strength and cost estimation. The design developed in the dissertation is based on the conceptual design of general containership B-178 built in the Stocznia Szczecińska Nowa, providing its main particulars, hull form as well as the general arrangement. The general objective of the thesis is to carry out the hull structural design based on the functional requirements of the containership.

W955 A 71533 I I I I ABSTRACT THE POSSIBLE IMPACT OF NEW PACKAGING SYSTEM CONCEPTS 0N TRADITIONAL CORRUGATED BOX MARKETS By David L. OIsson Packaging of products for storage and shipment has a history which extends back 5000 years to stone cosmetic kits of MeSOpotamia. Over the years since that time, various package forms have become dominant methods for the shipment of goods. Some, such as leather bags, kegs, barrels, and wooden boxes have nearly completely disappeared from use. Packages serve several functions in the distribution of goods to the market place. Packages protect the product and protect the environ- ment, make goods convenient to handle, store, ship, and use, and moti- vate the customer to buy the product and use it correctly. Shipping packages accomplish these functions within a distribution system which extends from the product-producing center, through the distribution channel, to the point where the consumer uses the product and disposes of the package.
