In order to combine the cargo into a one single unit and facilitate the transportation of that cargo, the idea of making a cargo container came up. Malcom McLean, the inventor of the cargo container, began a completely new era in maritime transport by purchasing a tanker that he converted for the transport of cargo containers. Throughout history, various types and dimensions of containers have been made that did not always give the desired results, which is why the standardization of cargo containers is being introduced in order to make placement on the ship as easy and organized as possible. Cargo containers can not only be transported by sea, but also provide the possibility of transportation by land and air, where we then get multimodal transport. Stacking a variety of cargo in containers resulted in better use of space, easier cargo manipulation and, most importantly, the security of that cargo against damage, theft and loss. Due to the various types of cargo, many types of cargo containers are made that are adapted to the cargo needs
