Advantage of container shipping over the other methods
The thing we should notice is the fourth one. Let's compare it with other loads like train and truck and you can see how much cargo at once. The container ship is specialized for mass and long-haul transportation. Barge and VLCC are also types of ships, and VLCC especially functions as the oil tanker so it doesn't threaten the container shipping industry.
