What are the advantages and disadvantages of containerisation?

Containerization offers several advantages, including improved efficiency in shipping and logistics, as containers can be easily transferred between different modes of transport. It also enhances security and reduces damage to goods during transit. However, disadvantages include the initial investment in infrastructure and technology, as well as potential challenges in standardization across different shipping companies. Additionally, reliance on containerization can lead to vulnerabilities in supply chains, especially during disruptions.
