This book assesses the potential benefits of containerized shipping for frozen poultry products, comparing its efficiency with the traditional break-bulk method of intermodal transport between the US and international markets. Through a series of experimental shipments, the author found that containerized transport was superior to break-bulk methods in minimizing the five to ten separate handlings of individual poultry boxes which break-bulk shipping required, which in turn generated significant losses through pilferage, physical damage to boxes and their contents, and exposure to temperature fluctuations. The study suggests that switching to containerized models for frozen poultry transport could reduce shipping costs while improving the quality and quantity of the product delivered, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of US poultry exports in international markets.
