This final project includes and elaborates container transport, the definition of containerisation, as well as main advantages and disadvantages of containerisation. Through this paper, container transport is presented as one of the most important forms of intermodal techonology. The history of containerisation is defined and described throughout this project, as well as the classification of containers, container terminals and container identification. The second part of the paper includes the analysis of the container transport in the Mediterranean. The research of the container transport in this paper is limited on the Mediterranean as one of the regions which play an important role in the global container trade flows, as the subject would otherwise be too wide. However, it's important to say that due to the global nature of container transport it is not possible to analyse the Mediterranean or any other region, or its container traffic, without detailed anlysis of global trends and phenomena which characzerize container transport overall. Regarding that, the focus of the paper is directed at container transport as a global phenomen, and analyzes the impact of the global trends on the container traffic of thr Mediterranean.
