Pioneering better trade.
As global trade increases so too does the global fleet of containers. The problem of empty containers is simply unsustainable. Spectainer is pioneering a holistic solution that combines our innovative horizontally collapsing containers with the world’s first fully automated collapsing station, plus advanced tracking and support services. Our holistic solutions accelerate the evolution that’s needed.
The Challenge
The time for evolution is now
Container design has seen minimal change in 60 years, resulting in increased cost, operational inefficiency and a lack of focus on reducing the industry’s carbon footprint.
Surging trade volumes, increasing port congestion/container imbalances, new ship orders and record new container production volumes increase pressure on all stakeholders to deliver on time and budget. The strain on the global supply chains has never been greater.
60 million
Global trade imbalances create more than 60million empty container movements every year and growing.
USD$34 billion
Representing an 8% operational cost per year for carriers, it’s affecting the industry and the end-user, and it’s not sustainable.
3% global emissions
The maritime industry is responsible for approximately 3% of all global greenhouse gas emissions.
