To own or lease—which way for container operations?

Abstract

The decision to own or lease is complicated by the varying descriptions alloted to the container as an entity in itself and as an instrument of physical distribution … up to the point of acceptance in many quarters as part of the ship itself. The variety of descriptions is reminiscent of the old tale resulting from an examination of an elephant by three blind men.
