Staxxon

Staxxon (http://staxxon.com) is a funded development stage start-up headquartered in Montclair, NJ, USA. George Kochanowski is the founder and CEO of Staxxon LLC. Since mid-2010, the Staxxon team has been developing dynamic space/slot optimization technology for empty shipping containers. The technology targets cost reduction for moving empty intermodal shipping containers by allowing up to 5 empty containers to be moved, lifted, stowed and stored in the same space, at the same cost and in the same time as 1 container.

Collapsible Shipping Containers

A simple design could shrink the energy footprint of moving cargo

The worldwide shipping industry—the fleet of giant ships carrying more than half the goods moved around the world each year—owns more than 17 million shipping containers. About 20 percent of those containers are empty, and they’re not always in the right place to be loaded with goods for the next shipment. Moving one of these behemoths—whether on a truck, by rail, or by sea—demands a lot of fuel. Simply loading one on or off a ship or truck takes energy and time, leaving ships idling in port and trucks idling in line—and that burns through even more fuel.
