Rob, <br /> <br />My understanding is that the 53's are not ISO certified for international transport, that is the main roadblock to trying this idea. Yes, many Asian ports lack warehousing space, but there are some which do have that kind of space and thus ideal for a real world tryout of transporting 53's should ISO certification come into fruition. <br /> <br />Even with the one to two weeks time delay from Asia to the U.S., you are still in better position to respond to inventory changes if you are transporting in 53's vs 40's on the ocean leg. There would be a significant time savings using 53's vs 40's on the transload from ship to railcar, and if it became apparent that some cargo redistribution became necessary due to inventory changes it is easier to transload from a 53' to another 53'.
