4 FAQs about Comparison of Three-Phase Environmental Protection of Folding Containers

How will foldable containers affect exporters?

Despite the increase in operational complexity, one foreseeable impact of foldable containers is that the availability of empty containers for exporters should logically improve, since carriers would find it cheaper to rebalance stocks of foldable containers between IPI locations, as represented in Leg F of Fig. 2.

What is a 4 fold container stacked?

4 folded 4FOLD containers stacked have the same dimensions as 1 container, enabling the reduction of transport movements up to 75%. An increase of the shipping lines' profit margin of 600% is possible, corresponding to savings up to 25% on the operational costs and 27% on the total CO2 emissions of container transport at sea.

What is a 4fold foldable container?

Due to the global imbalance of import/export ca. €25 billion a year is spent on repositioning empty containers and unnecessary emissions of CO2, NOx and PM are generated. The technical solution proposed by HCI is the 4FOLD foldable container. This concept is IP protected by HCI by 8 patents.

What are the benefits of foldable containers?

The purported benefits of foldable containers are numerous (if not yet proven). They are said to be able to not just reduce transportation costs, congestion and carbon footprint, but also alleviate space constraints at seaports (e.g. Konings and Thijs, 2001, Bandara et al., 2015 ).
