&lt;/del&gt;time, permitting faster loading and dumping, which &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;speeds up general &lt;/del&gt;transit times.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;2. Cost-Effectiveness:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;By combining goods into a single container, carriers can &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;make the most &lt;/del&gt;of economies of scale, &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;decreasing &lt;/del&gt;shipping &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;costs &lt;/del&gt;per unit.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;3.
