4 FAQs about Comparison of the Scalable Economic Benefits of Micronesian Foldable Containers

Are foldable containers better than standard containers?

Although foldable containers have been introduced to overcome standard container issues, there are some disadvantages involved with them. However the benefits of foldable containers over standard ones cannot be underestimated when considering the escalating volume of empty containers and the costs involved in repositioning them.

Why are foldable containers so expensive?

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).

Do foldable Containers save shipping 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.
