CONTAINER SHIP GIGANTISM: FUTURE TRENDS AND CHALLENGES

In recent years, due to globalisation and increased maritime connectivity in ports around the world, freight transport has required structural, technical and technological change in order to be able to ship and distribute cargo to all industries. Optimising transports by guaranteeing coverage in the shortest possible time has brought about the need to adapt to the new commercial ecosystem and, consequently, to the new professional challenges that have arisen within the sector.

Shipping lines have taken advantage of this condition to adjust to the current paradigm demanded by customers, reducing waiting times on routes and increasing the volume of container ships. This growth in vessel infrastructure and the consequences that flow from it are referred to as ‘gigantism’.

Today, the trend towards gigantism is a reality, as it has several beneficial features for shipping lines, such as gaining route efficiency, transporting more material in the same voyage, reducing the polluting effect and covering a wider global coverage.

Logistics operators, faced with the growth in the movement of containers in logistics platforms, have had to improve their facilities to differentiate themselves from the competition and be able to compete with the current offer.
