Container ship - container ship

Japanese: コンテナー船 - コンテナーせん

A ship specializing in the loading and transport of containers. It has a unique design and outfitting that is convenient for loading and unloading, such as a crane that straddles between large hatches and moves back and forth between them. Developed in the United States in 1956-1957, the first full container ship (a ship specializing in containers) appeared in 1968, and became the mainstream of marine transport due to its many advantages, such as a significant reduction in loading and unloading time and integrated sea and land transport. The first container ship in Japan, the Hakone Maru, launched in the same year, had a loading capacity of 16,306 deadweight tons and 752 20-ton containers. Recently, roll-on, roll-off ships (ro-ro ships), which transport containers directly from the quay to the ship using trailers or forklifts, have become popular, instead of lift-on, lift-off ships, which dock at the quay and unload containers using cranes. They are also becoming larger, and container ships that can carry 6,000 20-foot containers have been built.

コンテナーを積載輸送する専用船。大きいハッチとハッチをまたいで前後に移動するクレーンをもつなど荷役に便利な独特の設計・艤装(ぎそう)を施す。1956年―1957年米国で開発，1968年最初のフルコンテナー船（コンテナー専用船）が登場，荷役期間の大幅短縮，海陸一貫輸送など多くの利点があり海運の主流を占めた。同年就航の日本最初のコンテナー船箱根丸は，１万6306重量トン，20トン形コンテナー752個を積載。最近は，これまでの岸壁に接岸してクレーンでコンテナーを積下ろしするリフトオン・リフトオフ船から，岸壁から船内へトレーラーやフォークリフトで直接コンテナーを船内に運ぶロールオン・ロールオフ船（ロロ船）も普及。また大型化が進み，20フィートコンテナー6000個を運ぶコンテナー船も建造されている。
