Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for transporting container cargo across borders and a dedicated gantry container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some nations use a wide range of non-international standard type containers. Since both the strength and structure of these containers do not conform to international container standards, they cannot be transported by container ships and cannot be used interchangeably in other countries and regions. In other words, their use is basically limited to one country or one district. For example, JR 12 feet widely used in Japan (that is, 3715mm and 3658mm long, 2438mm and 2450mm wide)
mm, 2438mm and 2500mm in height) and 6 foot containers. Of these, "anchors" that can be used for positioning locks are placed under the frame of the 12-foot container, and angle plates that can be used for positioning locks are installed at the bottom four corners of the 6-foot container.

[0003] In countries or regions that use these non-international standard containers, such as Japan, due to the limitations of existing transportation facilities and other conditions, international standard dry cargo containers are directly sent to the consignee. Can not be transported. When importing cargo, the imported cargo in an international standard dry cargo container is unloaded at the wharf and transshipped to a non-international standard container, or 12-foot and 6-foot container, that is operational in the country or area. Otherwise, they cannot be transported to the receiver. Conversely, when exporting cargo, the imported cargo must first be loaded into a non-international standard container that is valid in the country or area and transported to the export cargo wharf. They are unloaded at the wharf, transshipped into international standard dry cargo containers, and transported to the destination port. This can result in wasted cargo on the return journey, increasing the cost of loading and unloading operations, delaying transport time, and possibly causing damage to the cargo or affecting the quality of the cargo during loading and unloading. Absent.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a new proposal for a method for transporting containerized cargo across borders. When this method is adopted, waste of empty cargo transportation on the return route due to the transshipment of cargo is reduced, the operation cost of loading and unloading is reduced, transportation time is shortened, and damage to the cargo is reduced.

[0005] A second object of the present invention is to provide a dedicated gantry container for realizing the above-mentioned cargo transportation method. This cradle container is dedicated to loading a series of non-international standard containers, and has the advantages of simple structure, simple use, and easy realization.

[0006]

The first object of the present invention is realized by the following technical solution:

[0007] The feature of the method of transporting container cargo across borders is that the non-international standard container, which is loaded only at the loading port and is valid only in one country (or within one district), is an international 1AAA standard mount container with a lock device. And locked by the lock device. Then, the international 1AAA standard gantry container is loaded on a standard container ship and transported to the destination port.

[0008] According to the above transport method, when exporting cargo, the exported cargo is loaded into a non-international standard container which is valid in the exporting country or district, and transported to the export freight wharf. Then, the non-international standard container loaded with the cargo is loaded in the gantry container of the present invention, and is also locked by the lock device. The international standard mount container is further loaded on a container ship and transported to a destination port. At the time of cargo import, at the loading port, the cargo is first loaded into the non-international standard container used at the time of export, and then the non-international standard container loaded with the cargo is loaded into the dedicated mounting container of the present invention, After that, it is transported to the destination port in Japan. At domestic destination ports, non-international standard containers loaded with cargo are loaded directly on transport vehicles and transported to the consignee. In this way, the loading and unloading of non-international standard containers can be substituted for the loading and unloading of cargo from conventional containers, reducing the waste of empty cargo transportation on the return route, reducing the operating costs of loading and unloading, Freight transportation time is also reduced. In addition, the damage to the cargo or the impact on the quality of the cargo caused during the loading and unloading of the cargo is minimized.

The second object of the present invention is realized by the following technical solution:

The gantry container includes a horizontal platform bottom frame and two end walls that are vertically connected to both ends of the horizontal platform frame.
