Abstract

Unit loads cheaper than container shipments According to an independent study of transport costs undertaken by the Economist Intelligence Unit, in London, break‐bulk transport can cost almost twice as much as container transport. On the other hand, shipper‐packed units — single packages made up of a number of palletised or strapped items—may, in certain circumstances, cost 25 per cent less than a container operation.
