This thesis is a study of the freight container industry, a dominant participant in the international and intermodal trade. A brief history of containerization is followed by an enumeration of the types of containers in use, the international standards applied to them, and the construction and modification of container carriers, ports and exchange facilities and container handling equipment. The land bridge, an intermodal concept dependent on containers, is traced historically through geological, biological and commercial applications. Governments, private entrepreneurs, labor organizations, regulatory agencies and the military services are active in influencing the industry. The future growth and expansion is linked to the cooperation and initiative which can be generated among these diverse participants. (Author)
