The containerized system has transformed how the International Shipping operates by optimizing the process of how shipments are onboarded. However, with the introduction of containerized shipping, goods can be classified and organized before they are onboarded. This process often led to the jumbling of all the goods/products together. The export value of this product category decreased from ₹ 31,252 crore to ₹ 16,620 crore during this five-year period.Previously, while loading the smaller shipments, the goods were sorted at the time of onboarding.
