While there was a shortage of containers at the height of the pandemic, the global economy is now facing the opposite problem: too many containers.

Traders and shippers say the decline in global consumer demand is not a sign the global economy is normalizing after a frantic post-lockdown consumption rush

What has happened now is that the cargo is 'on time' again and hence you'll see a slowdown in new ordering..."There is just not enough depot space to accommodate all the containers," online container logistics platform Container xChange chief executive Christian Roeloffs said in an industry update this week.

"With the further release of container inventory into the market, for example from the disposal of leasing fleets, there will be added pressure on depots in the coming months."Italian container depot owner Sogese chief executive Andrea Monti told Container xChange his depots are full. "Whatever was coming in and out of, for instance, our Milan depot is quite stuck. And the container volume at the depots is increasing to an extent that we are returning some requests for depot service agreements."
