美国最先建造集装箱船 20世纪50年代,随着现代工业的蓬勃兴起和国际贸易的不断发展,一些经济较发达的国家对运输船舶的周转速度和港口、码头的装卸效率提出了更高的要求,设想将已有的公路和铁路的集装箱运输延伸到海上,实现陆海集装箱联运。世界头号经济大国美国最先致力于这方面的研究。 1956年,美国泛大西洋航运公司(以后更名为海陆服务公司)在其持有的油轮“盖特威城”(“Gateway City“)号甲板上试装集装箱,航行于纽约与休斯顿之间,获得成功。改装的“盖特威城”号载重量7785吨,可载集装箱226只(箱子规格35呎×8呎×8呎),主机功率6600马力,
The United States first built a container ship In the 1950s, with the rapid rise of modern industry and the continuous development of international trade, some economically developed countries put forward higher requirements on the transportation speed of shipping vessels and the handling efficiency of ports and terminals , Envisaged the existing road and rail container transport extended to the sea, to achieve land and sea container intermodal. The United States, the number one economic power in the world, is the first to devote itself to this aspect of research. In 1956, the United States Pan-Atlantic Shipping Company (later renamed Sealand Services) tested containers on the ”Gateway City“ tanker it held, sailing between New York and Houston, Success. Modified ”Gateway City" carrying capacity of 7785 tons, can carry 226 containers (box size 35 feet × 8 feet × 8 feet), the host power of 6600 horsepower,
