An American by the name of Malcom McLean is credited withthe invention and patenting of the cargo shipping container. His success in owning the 5th largesttrucking company in the United Sates (McLean Trucking Co.) allowed him to branch out tomarine transportation. After purchasing the Pan-Atlantic Steamship Company in 1955, he beganexperimenting with different shipping methods.
