The effect of foldable containers on the costs of container fleet management in liner shipping networks. Maritime Economics & Logistics. 2012. Vol. 14. No. 4. P. 455-479. DOI: 10.1057/mel.2012.16. Shintani, K. & Konings, R. & Imai, A. Combinable containers: A container innovation to save container fleet and empty container repositioning costs.
However, this does not generate revenue and incurs container management costs (CMCs). Some container carriers may use foldable containers (FLDs), such as four-in-one designs, instead of standard containers (STDs), in order to minimize the costs associated with relocating empty containers.
Containerships consume much fuel that is sensitive to bunker costs resulting in longer transit times and lower customer satisfaction. Also, shipping carriers are concerned with higher fixed operational costs and a lower freight rate due to ship overcapacity. Therefore, reducing
have indicated that folding costs are approximately equivalent to unfolding costs. 1. Doudnikoff, M. & Lacoste, R. Effect of a speed reduction of containerships in response to higher energy costs in sulphur emission control areas.
