在我国开展集装单元化搬运为时不久,尚属起始阶段,但实践证明,集装单元化搬运对交通运输部门和工厂都有好处。对机械工厂来说,不仅适用于厂外运输和外贸出口产品的运输,而且也适用于厂内运输,是保护产品,加快装运速度、降低生产成本的重要措施之一。我们调查了上海地区和天津机械进出口分公司开展集装单元化运输的情况,现报导如下。一、在厂外运输方面上海地区机械工厂厂外运输使用的集装单元化 It has been an initial stage since the implementation of unitized transport of containers in China. However, it has been proved by practice that the collective transport of containers can benefit transportation departments and factories. For machinery factories, it applies not only to the transportation outside the plant and the export of foreign trade products, but also to the transportation within the factory.
