An estimated 90% of the world's trade today moves in containers.

One hundred million container loads crisscross the world's oceans each year in

over 5,000 container ships.

Some 20% of the containers on boardare empty…

Container Usage during its Life-Span

A container can spend on average 56% of its lifespan either idle or being repositioned while empty.

This represents a non revenue generating part involving additional costs (such as warehousing and repositioning)

that are assumed either by the shipping or the leasing company.

Such a cost is part of the leasing rate.

Container Usage during its Life-Span

The lifespan of a container ranges between 10 to 15 years depending on its level of usage and the conditions

it has been exposed to.

A well maintained container not exposed to harsh conditions can even have a lifespan up to 20 years.

INNOVATION, what can it bring?

The year 1954.

At that time Philip Morris & Co, owners of a brand called Marlboro, was dead last in sales among the major tobacco companies.

Marlboro makeover--- it’s packaging!

For a 5 year exclusivity Marlboro was the first brand to be packaged in the handy “Flip-Top Box.”

Marlboro’s new image paid

huge dividendshuge dividends

in attracting smokers.

Think outside the box !

aluminum and/or …

care free aluminum / iron / galvanized iron / …WIKI: galvanizing for protection of iron is favored because of its low cost,

the ease of application, and the extended maintenance-free service that it provides.

1. Other technical option is to enfold from 16 cm higher hinge to also store the two container ends. Less efficient.

2. Preferably, the back end would be entirely flat outside, to allow more volume inside.3. Both end parts, as well as the extremities of the green parts, are possibly without the forklift cut outs.4. Possibly, (some) manipulation or use of the containers do not require the springs.5. The watertight property is not compulsory for all transported goods or commodities.

Watertight packing or covering the goods inside might even be possible.6. The plates and the back end are hollow or not. If hollow the container has increased floatation capacity.

Possibly they are ecologically foam-filled, also to offer a temperature barrier.7. The side walls could be made of a single corrugated plate. 8. Full recycle ability is pursued. Adhering maximal to the Cradle to Cradle philosophy...

If one part is damaged, the other parts remain fully recoupable to further serve.9. Longer hinges or extra hinge parts in between the shown hinges if required. All measurements are possibly to

be adapted.10. Most preferably galvanized steel execution, equals longevity. Or, no paint.11. Outside the great money-saving folding property, longevity further compensates initial manufacturing costs.12. Outside visual identification of the Conticke happens through its tags all around the door-end, as well

vertically as horizontally. On the front, the top side, as on its two sides. As there is only one door-end per container assembly, the other parts remain neutral as they are interchangeable.

13. Patent protection is pursued to acquire exclusivity and to easily control the development, manufacture and exploitation.

14. “In this age of terrorism, the folding container ensures better security since it cannot be so easily used as a means of smuggling,”

15. Strategically, own specific corner fittings and consecutive own equipment clamps is an option.
