3. Container Freight Station

Please translate the following paragraph into Chinese： Some aspects of the economics of containerization are: (1) The increasing number of uniform –sized packages offers for shipment made the use of the pallet feasible, and the introduction of the forklift made it possible to move the loaded pallets economically and conveniently from place of storage in the transit shed to the ship’s side; (2) Containerization can transfer the task of stuffing and stripping the container from the carrier to the shipper and consignee, and thereby reduce significantly the shipowner’s cost to check the condition of cargo when it is received and delivered; (3) Containerization saves time by having cargo brought to the ship’s side in boxes that could be loaded directly into the vessel. The benefit to the shipowner of the shortened stay in port already have been delineated; (4) Marine terminals were made much more productive and efficient when they were completely mechanized and operated around the clock whenever a ship was at the berth. This shorten the ship’s turnaround time and thereby effected savings for the ship operators; (5) Containerized shipment of goods has resulted in better outturn of cargo, with a consequent reduction in claims for loss and damage. There also has been less pilferage of cargo since containers have come into general use.
