| Abstract: | This paper describes the development of containerisation in one of the most important theatres of maritime trade, the North
Atlantic. As the original hearth of containerisation, it has been an area of experimentation and evolution for a technology
that has burst around the world. Although over the last decade the Atlantic has been superceded by the Pacific Ocean as the
major market focus for containers, it still is an important market arena. The emergence of global shipping networks is tending
to favour the Atlantic once again. The paper provides an analysis of these recent developments.
