Offshore containers are mainly used for the storage and transportation of offshore shipping materials, and their main roles are as follows:

 

1. Material storage. Offshore container has a certain volume, can be used for temporary storage of materials before shipping, as an intermediate warehouse. This can optimize production planning and shipping frequency, making full use of transportation resources.

 

2. Transport packaging. The offshore container itself is an airtight transportation package, which can provide protection for materials during transportation, preventing the impact and damage of seawater, moisture, collision, etc. This reduces the cost of additional packaging and logistics losses.

 

3. Easy loading and unloading. The standardized design of offshore container can be compatible with various lifting and transportation equipment, which facilitates the loading and unloading operation in the port and improves the working efficiency. The container can be directly loaded and unloaded by dump truck, container truck or forklift.

 

4. Capacity improvement. The use of standard containers can improve the loading capacity and space utilization of the ship, effectively increase the capacity of a single ship and reduce transportation costs. The ship can choose the suitable load and capacity according to the container type.

 

5. Standardization of transportation. Standardization of offshore container specifications simplifies terminal operations, facilitates transshipment and transit, and allows quick connection between different transport links, improving overall logistics efficiency.

 

6. Freight settlement standard. The volume and weight of offshore containers provide a standard measurement and settlement basis for transportation pricing, which is convenient for shipping companies and cargo owners to settle freight rates.

 

7. Tracking and monitoring. Offshore container will be marked with container number, which is convenient to use electronic information means to monitor its dynamic position and status in the transportation process in real time, improving the information level of logistics and cargo security.

 

In summary, the offshore container as a standardized transport tool and packaging, its main role is to improve the efficiency of shipping, reduce logistics costs, facilitate the supervision of goods and information management. It has been widely used in international shipping and long-distance sea transport, is one of the technical means in the development of maritime trade.
