I think the first container shipping and intermodal movement (ship-train-truck) was done by the White Pass & Yukon in 1955 or so. They had one or more ships that could unload the containers directly from the ship to the train. The only thing that happened shore side was spotting the cars. Pretty innovative for the time.
