But on the way back with the empty condition, the foldable container could deliver cost reduction up to 35.6% compared to the standard container. Furthermore, the longer the period of storage and transportation in empty state, the greater the benefit of the foldable container.
Foldable containers are considered an effective solution to deal with the endemic imbalance in the repositioning of empty containers. Several foldable containers were commercialized without clear breakthrough in the market and most current researches are still limited to small pilot projects.
Such foldable containers are compatible with the normal ISO-approved TEU or FEU and are strong enough to be placed anywhere on a shipboard stack. Any number of containers from 2 to 5, can be folded and stacked in such a way to form a regular container size for transport or storage.
