Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Containerization has indeed revolutionized the shipping industry by making the loading and unloading process more efficient, enhancing the interface between different modes of transportation, and improving the logistics of ocean-going freight. However, while it has brought about many improvements in efficiency and security, the statement that container security has been "greatly enhanced" is not accurate in the context of the other options. While security measures have improved over time, the primary benefits of containerization are related to efficiency, cost reduction, and the integration of different transportation modes, rather than a significant enhancement in security. Security remains a concern and is continuously being addressed through various measures, but it is not the primary improvement brought about by containerization.
