How Container Ships Changed the World Как контейнеровозы изменили мир

Издание на английском языке
This book explores the history and development of container shipping, beginning with the revolutionary event of April 26, 1956, when the Ideal X first used containers for maritime shipping.
The author details the significance of this event for global trade, the technical and logistical innovations that accompanied it, and the impact of containerization on the development of ports and shipping companies, particularly the Port of New York. The book examines the evolution of maritime transport, its connection to the international economy, and the role of Sea-Land Service in shaping the modern global shipping system. It focuses on the history of the Pan-Atlantic Steamship Company and the changes containerization brought to the maritime industry over the course of half a century, transforming international trade routes into more efficient and expansive ones.
