“Businesses are being hit hard by global shortages of shipping containers….”

Shipping containers?!?!

How is there even a shortage of those??? Have you ever seen a shipping port??

What is REALLY going on here??

It’s estimated that over 90% of all goods in the world are shipped by container ship, mostly FROM CHINA to elsewhere around the globe.

It has been estimated that there are currently over 40 million shipping containers in the world, with several million in transit at any one time. And that’s probably a conservative estimate.
