Malcolm McLean (1913 – 2001) was an American businessman and transportation industry innovator. He is best known for revolutionizing global trade by introducing the standardized intermodal shipping container in the 1950s.

McLean's contribution had a profound impact on international trade and played a crucial role in shaping the modern logistics landscape
until the nineteen sixties nearly all the world's cargo was transported in a diverse assortment of barrels boxes
bags crates and drums
a typical ship in the pre container era contained as many as two hundred thousand individual pieces of cargo that were inefficiently loaded onto the ship by hand
this practice kept the cost of shipping very high
