Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to examine in detail the process and structure of container shipping from the point of their transportation by ocean on the liner route be-tween Europe and East Asia.
By reason of my research’s specificity, I was not able to use any case company in the thesis. Therefore, I independently attempted to select the most appropriate subjects for the study. I collected the different existing information from open sources as the theoretical framework and analysed all for applying as a basic research method.
The primary issue of the thesis is the containerization including its forming segments and a role in the maritime industry. There are also considered the types of vessels that carry container cargo by ocean. Nevertheless, the main focus of the thesis is container terminals at the ports in East Asia. Additionally, a benchmark for this examination has been chosen the Port of Rotterdam which has taken a position of the most successful sample in the port industry.
In general, the results of my thesis may be assisted for students who want to improve knowledge in containerized shipping industry and could be applied for the future research devoted this field of the study.
