What were the London docks used for?

For the importing and exporting of seaborne goods. They fell into disuse during the 1970's and 80's due to the containerisation of import/export goods and the much bigger ships needed for this trade which the London docks weren't big enough to handle.


The advantages and disadvantages of containerisation?

A couple of the advantages of containerization are that it keeps transportation costs lower and it allows for flexibility over a wide range of goods. A couple of the disadvantages are the space needed to store the containers. Empty containers take up as much space as full ones. The complications that come with stacking and re-stacking configurations are also something to consider.


How did the London Docklands decline?

Why did the London Docks go into decline? 1. An increase in ship size meant they found it difficult to come down the river as far as the Isle of Dogs where the river wasn't as deep. (the position of the docks moved further downstream to Tilbury); 2. Containerisation meant few dockers were needed with large cranes used to lift containers from ships; 3. The decline of portside industries and manufacturing hello


How did the Liverpool docklands go into decline?

It wasn't just Liverpool. London, Manchester, Glasgow, Leith, Cardiff, Bristol, Newcastle etc all suffered. The change came about with containerisation. Huge ships were built to accommodate thousands of containers and all of these ports weren't big enough or had water deep enough to accept these new larger ships. Felixstowe and Southampton are now the two main ports for large ships.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of containerisation?

Containerization offers several advantages, including improved efficiency in shipping and logistics, as containers can be easily transferred between different modes of transport. It also enhances security and reduces damage to goods during transit. However, disadvantages include the initial investment in infrastructure and technology, as well as potential challenges in standardization across different shipping companies. Additionally, reliance on containerization can lead to vulnerabilities in supply chains, especially during disruptions.

Is Pacific Tycoon really a scam?

I've done some research on Pacific Tycoon and I fail to understand their returns. For example the 2012 lease rate for a 40' dry container is approx. 1.55USD per day (Source: Market Analysis Containerisation International). This would yield a return of 565.75USD pa assuming you could lease all year round. Now Pacific Tycoon promote a guaranteed return of 12% pa and up to 27% pa with their aggressive plan. Their cost of for 1 container is 3,800USD with a return of 12% pa equal to 1,062.86USD. Pacific Tycoon take approx. 70% of the lease rate in order to manage the lease and payout to investors from 27-12%. So this would mean their lease rates would have to be 6.7 times the industry's rates equal to 3,790USD pa which I think is not achievable. Can anyone add to this?


What did the River Thames provide to the people of London?

The River Thames flows through Central London but isn't of any real importance now. In the past it was used as a means of getting about because of the poor state of the roads. The London Docks were situated on the river and there was an enormous amount of shipping and warehousing along both banks of the river when London was a major port and Britain had its Empire. With the advent of containerisation and much larger ships, the River Thames was no longer wide enough or deep enough to facilitate large vessels.
