Shipping container idea is older than you may think
Malcolm McLean is often credited with inventing the shipping container, others may say that the containers have been around since the late nineteenth century.
Malcolm Purcell McLean (November 14, 1913 – May 25, 2001), was an american transport entrepreneur who developed the modern intermodal shipping container, which revolutionized transport and international trade.
The way that he revolutionized the shipping industry was by coming up with the idea of custom designed ships that facilitated the loading and unloading of these containers.
This idea enabled goods to be moved around as efficiently and cheaply as possible.
It changed the face of world trade forever.
