The industrial revolution took place best where cheap water transport by canal, navigations, or shipping by all types of watercraft on natural waterways supported cost effective bulk transport. Containerization revolutionized maritime transport starting in the 1970s. “General cargo” includes goods packaged in boxes, cases, pallets, and barrels. When a cargo is carried in more than one mode, it is intermodal or co-modal. Containerization greatly reduced the expense of international trade and increased its speed, especially of consumer goods and commodities. It also dramatically changed the character of port cities worldwide. Freight House Logistics is registered with the Directorate General of Shipping, Government of India as an authorized Multimodal Transport Operator (MTO) as it is called which is also referred to as Non-Vessel Owning Container Carrier (NVOCC).  is authorized to issue its House Bill of Lading which is covered by liability insurance.
