Containerization – Container Loading
For ocean container loading into standard ISO containers, open top containers and onto flat racks
| What is Containerization? The loading of standard ISO containers to transport, supply, store and handle cargo from source to user. |
Containerization is a specialty of World Trade Distribution, where we load some of the most difficult of cargoes and some of the most sensitive, from wine to pipe. You will find us experts at utilizing unique and creative solutions for containerizing unusual commodities, always with destination unloading in mind.
Standard Dry Cargo/ISO Containerization
| World Trade Distribution specializes in blocking and bracing, utilizing unique processes that save time and increase cube usage. During the containerization process, voids are filled and blocking and bracing applied to maintain proper lengthwise and crosswise weight distribution. This helps to prevent cargo from damaging doors, nose, and walls during transit or from falling out when doors are opened. Receivers are meticulously checked for packing flaws and unsafe shipping characteristics. Using only heat-treated wood, we begin our blocking and bracing at the nose as we load, followed by fortress-like bulk heads on the tail and on the top tier of freight to prevent shifting and cargo vibrations. This process enables us to meet specific cube expectations. Back to Top |

Specialized Containerization
We design custom racks and have developed proven techniques to containerize specialty items such as:
Utilizing air cushions and blocking and bracing to prevent movement and damage, each load is packed at the maximum efficiency level. More on Specialized Containerization |

| The two racks of pipe are loaded side by side to maximize efficiency. Air cushions are placed between the racks to prevent movement and damage. |
Efficient and Secure Containerization Services
World Trade Distribution’s containerization services will minimize transportation costs and potential difficulties of unload at destination. Our containerization process will help to eliminate claims due to cargo shift and avoid rejection at the port or rail, thus avoiding the expense of double handling. For security verification, we take stage-by-stage digital pictures of the container loading process. Additionally, our EDS connection provides seamless updates to know where your cargo is at all times. If we can’t containerize it, it can’t be containerized.
