1147 Transport Revolution

The huge whistle of "Woo ......" sounded on the port dock in the early morning, and a huge steamer was ready to lift anchor and go to sea.

This is a newly launched transport ship with a brand new name called Container Freighter! Its transport capacity is quite strong, and the most gratifying thing is its unloading capacity.

The throughput capacity of the port, most of the time, depends on the size of the port. However, the port cannot expand its scale indefinitely, nor can it increase its own wharf indefinitely.

Then, another way to increase the throughput capacity of the port is to increase the loading and unloading speed! As long as loading and unloading cargo is faster, ships can leave the port faster and the throughput capacity of the terminal can be doubled.

Therefore, the crane and the container have become one of the greatest inventions in the history of German shipping.

When the Führer ordered the construction of container ships, those in charge thought it was redundant: loading supplies into boxes and transporting them was almost no different from bulk loading.

But now it seems that just one more box solves a big problem: containers are simply indispensable for modern transportation.

Because of this huge box, it is not only convenient to transport it at the dock, but also can be transferred directly by trailer or rail!

As long as the boxes are hung on a flatbed trailer, large cars can pull such boxes, and there is no need for new stevedores to carry them during the journey.

Before packing, the materials with the same destination are divided into a box, which can be easily loaded and unloaded at one time, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

Even, even if these boxes are not satisfied, the time and energy saved in the transportation process are enough to make up for the loss caused by the waste of capacity.

In the same way, it is also very convenient to transport by train, simply modify the railway station, these containers can be loaded directly onto the train at the port, and then just unload the containers to the destination along the way.

The military transports munitions, supplies, and food supplies, and civilians transports all kinds of things, all of which can be done in containers.

The transportation efficiency of dedicated freighters is twice or even five times that of old freighters.

Businessmen are the most sensitive, and in terms of saving costs and improving efficiency, they will invest 10 times more energy to expand.

Containers are obviously a project worth investing energy and money, so it only took half a year for Germany to convert most of Europe's ports and railway stations into containers.

The efficiency in this process was not even expected by Li Le, who was a traverser. At present, Germany's logistics are at least more than a year ahead of the United States.

Standing on the dock, a stevedore foreman was obscured by a huge "dark cloud" overhead, and he squinted his eyes and looked up, and saw that the huge container was being lifted by a crane towards the freighter docked on the dock.

A giant ship is departing from port, and another freighter is loading supplies. One after another, the containers were lifted onto the ship by crane, and the red cordon under the hull of the ship was also submerged into the water little by little.

"This stuff is so handy! The two wharves were renovated when Chuntian was in the past, and now the throughput of these two wharves has exceeded that of four ordinary wharves. The apprentice, who was standing next to the stevedore's foreman, was also pierced by the early morning sun, and squinted and sighed.

He had just graduated from school and was assigned to this port as an intern in dispatch management. What used to be a lowly stevedores supervisor has now been transformed into a real managerial talent.

"If it weren't so convenient, would Mr. Turner stop work for two months and convert all four of his company's terminals into container cargo terminals?" The stevedore foreman in charge of taking the apprentice sneered and looked at the dock that was being refitted.

In Wilhelmshaven, several purpose-built cargo terminals have been shut down for renovation, huge scaffolding has been erected, and workers on them are working desperately.

In order to increase the capacity of the terminal once again, the merchants here have a lot of brains - they have easily embraced the concept of container freight and have used their ingenuity to improve this method of transportation to the point of impeccable.

This is really the logistics revolution of the 21st century, and they enjoy this kind of invention that is ahead of its time, and they are contributing to the operation of the Third Reich more efficiently.

"Don't stand around here! Let the people of the 2nd porter get on board! Fixed containers! Don't get into an accident! Retracting his gaze, the stevedore foreman opened his mouth and ordered: "You need a lot of inspections, this is what you must do when you work in the future!" ”

Although he is reluctant to teach an apprentice foreman to steal his job, taking an apprentice is a way to increase his income, and he can also assign his work to the apprentice to worry about.

It's a win-win thing: training can add more talent to the country, and it can also earn more subsidies for yourself.

"Okay! Mr! The young apprentice nodded quickly, shouted to the dozen stevedores guarding the dock, and climbed up the gangway on the side of the huge steamer docked on the dock.

"Reinforcement of all container west boxes! This is a transport ship to St. Petersburg! He walked up the gangway and began to confirm aloud.

While confirming, he took out a record from the backpack he was carrying and carefully checked the exact number of the container.

Because the block is relatively large and square, it is also very convenient and fast to count the number of materials on container ships.

It's a hassle to keep track of a large pile of messy material thrown into the hold of a ship, but it's much easier to count how many containers there are on a freighter ship – unless someone deliberately piles them up hollow, it's easy to see if one box is missing.

"Okay!" The dock workers who followed him on board were also dutiful, using the tools already on board the ship, and began to hold the containers in front of them together.

As long as you use some screws, you can simply fix the container firmly on the deck of the cargo ship, regardless of the wind and waves, there will be no moving accidents.

These containers are placed on the freighter, and after arriving at the destination, they can be lifted by a crane and transported to the shore with a simple removal of a few screws, which is amazingly fast.

"Sign!" After all the work was done, the apprentice handed the statistical form in his hand to the captain of the freighter and said with a smile.
