The code of
each container is used in the cargo plan so that the stevedores know which
containers need to be moved.
Some containers have very valuable cargo. They can be fitted with a radio
tracking device that can be monitored by satellites. This allows the owner of
the cargo to locate the container anywhere in the world.
It does not matter whether the container is on a ship or truck or rail wagon.
