Currently, containerization in the liner service has been tremendously increased, which caused even marginal cargo as well as unsuitable containerized cargo stuffed into container.
As a result of such increasing stuffing of marginal cargo or unsuitable containerized cargo into container, a lot of problems occur, such as lots of damage to container, costs of repairing damages, inefficient flow of physical distribution, etc.
The aim of this study is how to improve such problems, especially how to standardize the costs of repairing container damage resulting from stuffing marginal or unsuitable containerized cargo into container which shall be incurred by cargo owners.
In the case of repairing container damage liable to carrier, the rate of repairing costs is set up in advance under contract, so no problems occur.
But in the case of repairing container damage liable to the cargo owner, a lot of problems occur, especially a rate of repairing cost. Therefore, to make a rate of repairing cost liable to cargo owners resonable, it is necessary to standardize a rate of repairing costs based on comparative analysis of various container damages.
In conclusion, the cost of repairing container damage liable to the cargo owner should be standardized objectively and scientifically as follows.
In order to standardize the cost of repairing container damage incurred by the cargo owner, the representatives of repairers and cargo owners should form the task forces to resolve such problems effectively, and then the task forces shall make a reasonable and objective standardization of the cost of repairing container damage incurred by the cargo owner based on the comparative analysis of the cost of repairing container damage liable to the cargo owners.
