Rozwój konteneryzacji na świecie od końca XIX w. do czasów współczesnych

Abstract

The introduction of the containerisation influenced not only means of transport and container terminals, but also an organisation of transport chains and other elements of the socio-economic reality. The proposed article briefly describes the specificity of both intermodal loading units and the containerisation itself. It also underlines the most important stages of a development of the containerisation from the beginning of the 19th century to the present day.
