Do you think this could work?
We have a new container ship. It comes to rest in a dock. There is only one big container which is moved off the ship on tracks for movement to a special unloading bay ( which I am working on such that unloading onto trucks is different and more efficient).
The idea is these single massive containers should enable loading and unloading in a much shorter time only an hour or two...meaning faster turn around. Oh and this container is covered in solar panels which contributes the a considerable saving in energy costs.
And I seek ideas as to how it will work and if you see a problem present your plan on how to overcome that problem.
Laying out the docks and the terminals is challenging but many efficiencies would seem to exist.
Such a system could employ multiple docks to handle more ships off course.
It could use tides only and still double current loads rate but if you pumped the dock another two times you would get four unloads...
And I have been working on a new model for human society under my proposed new world, solar system order.
So I am OK.

Hi Alex
How do you fill the giant container
The dock would have to be the height of the ship,or the ship would want to tilt as the weight is transferred toward the dock.
The strength of the cranes or tracks would have to be tremendous,also you would obviously have to load and unload the contents your giant container at the docks and then put the load into containers to be transported to their destination.
More roads etc
The idea of containers is that they are flexible ,Ie can be moved and loaded for their specific destinations relatively quickly.
Container ships visit many ports in some countries.
Of course the construction of New Ports to cater for your "One Container" only ships would be immense.
I would be interested to see your answer on the few points I have mentioned.
Cheers
