The shipping container standard didn't eliminate shipping companies—it made them more efficient. Before standardization, every port had different systems, cargo was damaged and lost, and trade was expensive and slow. After ISO 668 standardized container dimensions, the same container could move seamlessly across any ship, train, or truck. Costs dropped 90%. Global trade exploded.
