CHAPTER ‐ I
INTRODUCTION
Many nations in the World have more than enough of a specific resource or product but
in contrary no country in the world has plenty of all the natural resources, climate or
geography to produce all the goods and food required by its population. Hence, the
international movement of goods has become inevitable. The movement of such goods
needs to be carried out either through land or water or air. Movement of goods through
Sea become more popular because of its convenience and cost effectiveness as
compared to other mode of transportation.
Containerization is the system of transportation of cargo in large units in intermodal
containers for minimizing the handling effort at various transfer points from one mode to
the other. The unitized transport system known as the containerization system has the
following advantages:
− Handling in large units and time saving
− Security against theft, pilferage of goods
− Containers available for carrying specific type of products like liquids, gas,
refrigerated products, etc
− Flexibility between different types of transports
− Multiple handling of the content in the container is eliminated
− Labour saving
− Little cargo damage.

The containerization system of transport in the sea trade comprise of mainly the
specialized container vessels and the containers for carrying goods. The containers are
provided by the shipping lines to the shippers, by ownership or through lease
arrangements.
The shipping container industry produces a lot of intermodal containers each and every
year. They are used to transport goods all over the world. About 180 million container
loads crisscross the oceans each year in about 5000 container ships. International
shipping of containerized commodities is indispensable for global trading firms to thrive
in the increasingly competitive economic environment. Intermodal shipping is a method
of transporting cargo using multiple modes of shipping from origin to destination,
without any handling of the freight itself while changing modes. Intermodal shipping
utilizes special containers or trailers which allow goods to be moved directly from one
mode of transportation to another without having to be repacked. Transportation modes
used in the intermodal shipping method include trucks, railroad and ocean carriers.
An intermodal container (also container, freight container, ISO container, shipping
container, hi‐cube container, box, conex box and sea can) is a standardized reusable
steel box used for the safe, efficient and secure storage and movement of materials and
products within a global containerized intermodal freight transport system. "Intermodal"
implies that the container can be moved from one mode of transport to another without
unloading and reloading the contents of the container. Lengths of containers, which each
have a unique ISO 6346 reporting mark, vary from 8‐foot (2.438 m) to 56‐foot (17.07 m)
and heights from 8‐foot (2.438 m) to 9 feet 6 inches (2.9 m). There are approximately
28.535 million TEU intermodal containers in the world of varying types to suit different
cargoes. Aggregate container capacity is often expressed in twenty‐foot equivalent
units (TEU / teu) which is a unit of capacity equal to one standard 20 × 8 ft (6.10 × 2.44 m)
(length × width) container.
Feasibility Report on Intermodal Container Manufacturing Unit
\\Linux\201213\DP601\Container Manufacturing Unit\Final Report\ContainerFeasibility Report.doc Page 3
Containers are either made of steel (the most common for maritime containers) or
aluminum (particularly for domestic) and their structure confers flexibility and hardiness.
The development of intermodal transportation and containerization are mutually
inclusive, self strengthening and rely of a set of driving forces linked with technology,
infrastructures and management. One of the initial issues was the one concerned with
the different sizes and dimensions of containers used by shipping lines, which was a
source of much confusion in compiling container shipping statistics. A lift could involve
different quantity since different box sizes were involved. This led to the establishment of
the standard unit of Twenty‐foot Equivalent Units (TEU).
Records state that, out of every 100 containers in the world, 97 are made in China. There
are only a few container manufacturers in India. But the number of Indian manufacturers
who produce ISO certified containers, used in the international trade, are negligibly
small. Their output capacity is also quite insignificant. In India the market is mainly
catered either by importing new containers from China or by revamping used containers.
The demand for containers arises mainly in the places where there is higher number of
containerized cargo exports as compared to containerized imports. As Kochi is an
international container transshipment port, where the export of containerized cargo is
higher than number of container imports and the growing demand for container in
movement of goods will support the establishment of container manufacturing unit(s) in
Kerala. It is in this background, the Directorate of Ports, Kerala, which administrates the
Non‐major ports under of Government of Kerala, came forward with the idea of
establishing a Container Manufacturing Unit in Kerala. If begun, being the only certified
container manufacturer in India, it can dominate the market and help in earning huge
revenue and saving of foreign exchange.

CHAPTER ‐ II
RATIONALE FOR THE PROJECT
2.1 PRESENT STATUS OF DEMAND SUPPLY MISMATCH
There has been an unexpected surge in the global demand for shipping containers since
2011 that has caught global investors and the shipping industry completely off‐guard. As
a result of this growth, the industry is experiencing the biggest shortage and rise in
demand, from the maritime sector; and it has created an incredible investment
opportunity; for retirement and high yield investors.
Carriers are warning that a shortage of container equipment could develop in the coming
months as container manufacturing fails to keep up with growing vessel slot capacity.
Based on Alphaliner estimates, the box‐inventory‐to‐vessel capacity ratio will drop to
1.99 by the end of this year from 2.03 in 2010. This is the lowest ratio on record. It lies
way below the 2.99 boxes per slot of 2000. The World Shipping Council (WSC) has
warned that reduced container production levels in 2009 and 2010 will affect the supply
of boxes. WSC added that when demand for boxes rises, so does the price. It said
shippers and carriers would need to employ better planning and forecasting to manage
their way through the shortage. The WSC noted that though around 3.5 million TEU in
new containers are delivered in 2011, this is still 1.8 million TEU fewer than what was
required by the worldwide container shipping lines in 2011.
Since the crash of international financial markets in 2009, more and more shipping lines
have come to rely upon leasing companies, for the containers needed to fulfill their
contractual obligations. In fact, the most recent figures suggest that container lessors
Feasibility Report on Intermodal Container Manufacturing Unit
\\Linux\201213\DP601\Container Manufacturing Unit\Final Report\ContainerFeasibility Report.doc Page 5
occupy a substantial portion of the total market coming under container industry.
Shipping companies understand that a container on lease is often costlier than
ownership, however this approach offers them more flexibility, reduces their overhead
and it has proven to be more cost effective; in the long run. Furthermore, the container
shortage has created an opportunity for shipping operators to establish long‐term
relationships with container investing and leasing companies. Reports, shows that the
worldwide container fleet, operating on lease, grew in both 2010 (8.8%) and 2011 (9%),
and is expected to continue to grow through 2015; at an expected rate of 7‐8% per
annum. Shipping containers are currently in high demand. With the completion of the
expansion of the Panama Canal by 2014 and due to the ever‐growing world economy,
there will be steady growth in demand.
A container manufacturing unit in Kerala may be a drop in the bucket when compared to
the Chinese container manufacturing giants. But it is still possible for the product to
capture market taking into account the exports business in India. Present container
lessors/shipping lines are making use of containers manufactured mainly from China.
Even the Indian shipping lines depends on Chinese containers because the Indian
manufacturers do not have adequate capacity to meet the requirement. Further, the
container through put statistics in Cochin Port shows that the export of containers is
higher than import.
International Container Transshipment Terminal (ICTT) at Vallarpadam, being the first
transshipment terminal in India, plays a key role in bringing about a change for the
benefit of trade and commerce in the country. Only the 1st phase of the terminal have
completed and started functioning.
The present capacity of the terminal is as shown in Table 2.1 given as follows.

Capacity 1 Million TEU’s
Container Yard 2500 TEU Ground Slots
Rail Tracks 2
Reefer Points 450 Points (415 V,3 phase AC)
As per its records, this competed first phase of the terminal dealt with an import 15205
TEU and exports of about 15724 TEU per month which clearly shows that, there occurred
a demand of more than 500 TEU in a single month as an import‐export quantity
mismatch alone. At the final stage of this Terminal the expected Terminal capacity is as
given below in Table 2.2.
Table 2.2:‐ Terminal Specifications – Final

\\Linux\201213\DP601\Container Manufacturing Unit\Final Report\ContainerFeasibility Report.doc Page 7
This shows that the handling capacity of the Terminal will become four times that the
phase 1A have. This means that the demand for containers also will increase, causing a
higher demand per month in the ICCT alone. Under such demands, usual suppliers of
containers are either from China or rarely from North India.
These market situations can be exploited by establishing a container manufacturing unit,
here in south India.
2.2 MARKET FOR INTERMODAL CONTAINERS
Containers are inevitable in transportation industry, because of which its manufacturing
unit possesses its own market influence. Containers are either bought by the shipping
lines or taken on lease for satisfying the goods transportation needs. So, manufacturer
can either sell their containers to the shipping lines or to leasing companies.
New containers have a market price of about Rs.2 to Rs.4 lakhs per container in India
whereas its market price at China ranges from about Rs. 1.5 to 2 lakhs. In India suppliers
sell used containers at rates that are almost equivalent to the rate of the new ones in the
country where it is manufactured. This alone shows a clear picture of how much profit a
local manufacturer can make and how easily the market can be captured, as local
production can offer better service as well as competitive prices than imported
containers.
Cochin, an all weather natural harbor is located strategically close to the busiest
international sea routes.

\\Linux\201213\DP601\Container Manufacturing Unit\Final Report\ContainerFeasibility Report.doc Page 8
Image 2.1: Sea Routes
The major sea routes indicated above are:
1) Gulf to Singapore and Far East (Distance from Cochin Port ‐11 Nautical Miles)
2) Suez to Singapore / Far East (Distance from Cochin Port ‐74 Nautical Miles)
Amongst all major Indian ports, Cochin is the closest to the International East West
Shipping routes. This geo‐strategic location of Cochin gives it a distinct advantage in
keeping it a favorite location for container shipping lines. Presence of a manufacturing
unit in Kerala therefore will be an added advantage for existing as well as growing
shipping lines to do more business, as it cause less effort or delay in getting new certified
containers in the closest location.
In addition to the adding of containers to the shipping line fleet, replacement of existing
containers also happens each year. This is as indicated in Table 2.3 given as follows.

2015 3000000 2000000 5000000 40635000
By 2012 end there arises a demand of about 1600000 TEU worth new containers, to
replace in the old fleet. The net requirement of containers in 2012 is projected to be
4300,000 TEU. This also indicates the huge demand of containers in the world market.
Leasing of containers also is a highly promising area that can ensure good returns. Most
of the shipping lines finds it non viable to invest money on buying containers, if they are
having less share in the world trade. Such companies will always look towards leasing
containers to meet their needs rather than investing money in buying containers. The
average life span of a container is 10 to 15 years depending on its level of usage and the
conditions it has been exposed to. A well maintained container not exposed to harsh
Feasibility Report on Intermodal Container Manufacturing Unit
\\Linux\201213\DP601\Container Manufacturing Unit\Final Report\ContainerFeasibility Report.doc Page 10
conditions can even have a lifespan up to 20 years. Thus leasing can ensure fixed income
for a greater period of time. By leasing the containers the manufacturing cost of
containers can be reimbursed within a few years. Leasing of containers provides an
added advantage that proper tracking of each and every container is possible. When a
company buys a container it will have to shop around for an agreement with a container
manager, to avoid the day‐to‐day managing and maintenance by themselves. Therefore,
more companies can be attracted towards leasing of containers, as it reduces the
tracking headache of the customer companies.

3.2. ISO STANDARD FOR CONTAINERS
In the early years of the shipping container industry many different sizes of containers
were in use. Because of the difference in sizes and design, the containers could not be
easily stacked or transferred from one mode of transport to another. In the late 1960s
and finally in 1970, significant strides were made to define standard terminology,
dimensions, corner fittings, markings and ratings. With the ISO Standardization the
freight delivery over long distances, even between continents, has now become easier
than ever.
The ISO 6346 standard establishes a visual identification system for every container that
includes a unique serial number, the owner, a country code, a size, type and equipment
category as well as any operational marks.
Each code comprises 4 capital letters (3 for the ‘owner code‘ and 1 as a ‘category
identifier‘ assigned by the owner) and 7 digits (6 assigned by the owner and a single
check digit). It is this unique 11 digit shipping container number which is required
for tracking.
Feasibility Report on Intermodal Container Manufacturing Unit
\\Linux\201213\DP601\Container Manufacturing Unit\Final Report\ContainerFeasibility Report.doc Page 13
There are 3 possible category identifiers:
• U – all freight containers
• J – detachable freight container‐related equipment
• Z – trailers and chassis
The standard is managed by the International Container Bureau (BIC). Hence the ISO
6346 standard is also known as a BIC code.
Freight can be moved between roads/rail and ships without being opened and this
system mean lower transport costs and greater possibilities for international trade.
All major shipping companies such as Maersk, OOCL, MSC, CMA CGM and CSAV provide
comprehensive international container tracking for customers.
3.3. MATERIAL FOR CONTAINERS
Containers are generally made using corrugated weathering steel. Weathering steel,
optimized through their alloying elements (copper, chromium, nickel and phosphorus), is
best‐known under the trademark COR‐TEN steel and sometimes written without the
hyphen as "Corten steel". It is a high strength, low alloy steel that protects itself from
corrosion by forming a protective oxide patina eliminating the need for painting or other
protective coatings. The corrosion rate of steel is so low that the containers fabricated
from the weathering steel can achieve long life spans with minimal maintenance.
Weathering steel is produced under license from the United States Steel Corporation
with the registered trade mark Cor‐Ten.

PROJECT PARTICULARS
4.1 MANUFACTURING PROCESS
4.1.1. UNROLLING & CUTTING
Image 4.1:‐Unrolling of Rolls of Steel Sheets
Weathering Steel is available in the form of rolled sheets. This sheet is unrolled first and
cut into desired lengths using an Unrolling Machine together with Hydraulic Swing Beam
Shearing Mechanism.
4.1.2. SURFACE TREATMENT
Image 4.2:‐ Sandblasting & Priming
Feasibility Report on Intermodal Container Manufacturing Unit
\\Linux\201213\DP601\Container Manufacturing Unit\Final Report\ContainerFeasibility Report.doc Page 16
Steel sheets are then subjected to sandblasting and priming. By sandblasting, the
impurities present in the steel sheet are removed by using a jet of sand driven by
compressed air or steam. Then this sheet is coated with a layer of paint so as to keep it
protected from getting exposed to impurities later.
4.1.3. CORRUGATION
Image 4.3:‐ Corrugation of Sheets
Sheets are then corrugated to the shape required to form the side walls of the container.
This is done by using a special purpose Metal Sheet Forming Machine, set up with rollers
as dies that corrugates the sheets to the desired shape. Corrugating adds strength to the
sheets. These sheets are then accurately cut into desired width before proceeding to
assembly processes by Shear Cutting Machines.

4.2 LAND
It is estimated that about 56,000‐square meter of land is required for setting up the
factory and warehouse; and about 66,000‐square meter area for the container storage
yard. The total area of the entire plant would be about 130,000‐square meter or around
13 ha.
4.3 PLANT AND MACHINERY
The plant and machinery involved is classified into five main sectors:‐
1. De‐coiling area where the steel coils were unrolled, sand‐blasted, cut and
corrugated.
2. Parts production area where the components for the shipping containers are cut
and formed.
3. Box line area, where the components are welded together
4. Surface finishing line area, where the container boxes are painted.
5. Finishing line area where the flooring is installed in the container boxes and the
container boxes are cleaned, water proofed, inspected and finished off.
Other machinery consists of material handling equipments like conveyors, EOT Cranes,
etc. The machinery also includes a Diesel Generator and its accessories as emergency
power supply.
4.4 ANNUAL SALES REVENUES
The production of containers from the unit at 100 percent capacity is 50,000 TEU per

CHAPTER ‐ VII
CONCLUSION
As the world economy begins to bounce back, the subsequent rise in global production
has created a sharp increase in the demand for shipping containers, especially in the
maritime sector. As the current demand is exceeding the available supply, it has created
a favorable investment opportunity; for both experienced and novice investors.
For an intermodal container manufacturing unit, there needs to be sufficient production
capacity and the containers produced also should conform to International standards, so
as to get it registered among the international container fleet. Hence small scale
manufacturers will not be able to show their presence in this field. Absence of
manufacturers of weathering steel in India is also a hindrance. But, if the demand is high
enough, Indian steel companies like SAIL will be able to produce and supply weathering
steel economically.
With the prevailing demand supply gap in the industry, the manufacturing facility should
comprise of sophisticated systems with automation coupled with zero motion‐waste
policy producing 50,000 TEU equivalent containers per annum.
The preliminary study has revealed the potential of the venture and the established its
technical viability. The total project cost is estimated at Rs.300 Crores out of which
Rs. 100 Crores will be brought in as equity by the promoter and balance Rs.200 Crores
will be raised by the way of term loan from financial institutions. With this financing
model, the project has an Internal Return Rate of 22.04 percent and will break even at
Feasibility Report on Intermodal Container Manufacturing Unit
\\Linux\201213\DP601\Container Manufacturing Unit\Final Report\ContainerFeasibility Report.doc Page 42
42.55 percent of installed capacity. The average Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the
project is 2 while the non‐discounted Pay Back Period is 5 years, 8 months.
The project will provide direct employment to around 850 people. Apart from these,
there will be additional employment in the ancillary industries being set up to cater to
the requirements of the manufacturing unit.
The project is technically feasible and financially viable
