Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• A new concept to reduce total air freight costs for exporters has been announced by Tr-Wall containers Ltd.

The scheme is based upon the use of a Tr-Wall Pak container which has external dimensions of 107 x 74 x 65em and an allowable load of up to 2 2 7kg and is registered by the International Air Transport Association.

This container will be sold at the same price, whether new or used. After use, the recipient can present the container to the local manufacturer in selected areas of Europe and the UK who will purchase it for El , provided it is in good condition. Thus the concept relates to the use of a container, whether new or used, at a fixed price.

When used for air freight, apart from the benefits gained from its high strength and low weight, incentives offered by the airlines include a container rebate of up to El 13s 4d (1.67) on use and re-use. Add this to the CI returnable on the container and the user and his customer could show between them a nice, extra profit on the use of this container.

Tr-Wall Pak is a lightweight, heavy-duty, weather-resistant, triple-fluted fibreboard with high top-to-bottom compression. It is claimed to be much stronger than twin-fluted boards and will not split or splinter.

The scheme is organized in collaboration with Tr-Wall Containers (Europa) NV of the Netherlands.
