often called "the father of containerization". In 1956, he
developed the metal shipping container, which replaced
the traditional break-bulk method of handling dry goods
and revolutionized the transport of goods and cargo
worldwide

 STACKING: Complexity of arrangement of containers, both
on the ground and on modes (containerships and double-stack
trains).
 MANAGEMENT LOGISTICS: Requires management and
tracking of every container. Recording, (re)positioning and
