Definizione & Spiegazione
An empty container is an ocean container that holds no cargo after discharge and is awaiting return to the carrier or a depot before it can be reloaded or repositioned. When empty containers pile up at ports or with truckers because depots will not accept returns or slots are unavailable, they tie up trucks, chassis and yard space, directly affecting new import bookings as well as demurrage and detention costs. Shipping lines actively manage their empty container fleets, since an imbalance between origin and destination regions forces costly repositioning moves.
