Abstract
The changes that containerization has brought to ocean transportation are also influencing changes in other modes of surface transportation. These dramatic changes in cargo handling are reviewed over the postwar years, with trends in vessel construction, the theory of containerization, and a review of problems leading towards true intermodal system of transportation. The interface and the ground on which it takes place, the port, are fully explained and are based on experience at the Elizabeth Port Authority Marine Terminal. Criteria for the port complex are fully reviewed with area requirements and operational characteristics. As an interesting side light to container terminal construction, the water surcharge method of land reclamation is fully detailed.
