In the short term, the use of foldable containers is expensive because of the high costs involved in production and the operational costs of foldable containers compared with standard containers. This confirms the claim that the initial market price and the costs of folding and unfolding foldable containers are quite high (Konings and Thijs, 2001).
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.
Konings and Thijs (2001) argue that, on shipping routes with permanent trade imbalances, the use of foldable containers can save transport, transhipment and storage costs as shipping lines responsible for repositioning their empty containers currently bear the cost of repositioning.
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.
Our standardized photovoltaic container and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
