Sea-Land Service

Sea-Land Service was one of the first major container shipping companies, founded in the 1960s to revolutionize cargo transport. It pioneered the use of standardized shipping containers, which allowed for more efficient loading, unloading, and transport of goods across ships, trucks, and trains. This innovation greatly reduced shipping times and costs, facilitating global trade. Sea-Land played a crucial role in the development of intermodal transportation, where goods can move seamlessly between different transport modes, and eventually became part of Maersk Line, a leading global shipping company.
