no one is going to want empty containers clogging up UK ports, so every container you send to the UK is a DEAD container, so that denudes the global supply to NO ONE will allow their containers to go to the UK! My sister - believe it or not - owns some containers, you can BUY containers as an investment and you get paid every time they are used, if its stuck in an industrial unit in the UK for 18 months its NOT giving a return to the investor!!!

@roberttaylor5997 - I honestly dont know. She bought them about 10 years ago and the brokerage handles all the day to day stuff. I doubt she can, but the brokerage obviously only make money if the containers are making money and the brokerage obviously don't want thousands of investors screaming at them cos they received £0 in 2022 cos their containers are stuck in the UK not moving.

COME ON PEOPLE say it with me Cascading Systems Failure :-D Actually, this one is really bad. Cos there is an unstoppable influx of containers, ON SHIPS NOW heading for the UK. If the ports are full - those ships NEED to unload. Rotterdam etc wont want the containers clogging up their ports. And no one is going to want empty containers clogging up UK ports, so every container you send to the UK is a DEAD container, so that denudes the global supply to NO ONE will allow their containers to go to the UK!

@Deleba333 - Exactly - if there is a problem now it is a bigger problem next week, and the week after, and the week after that...

@RickTheClipper - This is what you get for talking when you don't know what you are talking about - I thought it was a fixed fee for the trip. I did not realise it was subject to an increase if there was a delay...

BELIEVE IT OR NOT my sister owns some shipping containers, you can BUY containers as an investment and you get paid every time they are used. The problem here is, if its stuck in an industrial unit in the UK for 18 months its NOT giving a return to the investor!!! So no container rental company is going to allow their containers to go to the UK in case they get stuck there.

@JohnSmall314 - Interesting. It says they are a relatively modern thing, and this is not entirely true - its what finishes of EVERY civilisation. Lets take the Khmer civilisation in Cambodia that built Angkor Wat etc. in simple terms that civilisation failed cos of a flood, the flood demolished their water management system, it demolished it cos they had systematically under-invested in its maintenance for centuries, and they could not rebuild it cos the people with the knowledge of how to do it had died off cos they had not invested in maintenance, so the corps failed and the canals silted up, causing further flooding and further crop failures... So this one failure built on its self and became unfixable and then it caused other systems to collapse. People could not pay their taxes, there was a food shortage, there was civil unrest, other infrastructure stopped getting maintained so that collapsed, bridges across waterways collapsed fragmenting the civilisation and stopping the transport of goods... People STOP believing in government and in paying taxes and doing what the government tells them - if the government cant keep the water flowing and the harvests coming - why pay taxes, that's their job, food is scarce keep it for yourself. Eventually, a once great civilisation was reduced to subsistence farmers on their own little patch of land. When these cascading failures are SYSTEMIC due to lack of or poor governance and they are deeply interconnected - it is incredibly dangerous for a civilisation. And ultimately EVERY civilisation is brought down by a cascading failure they can not stop due to past mistakes...

@scarletpimpernel6842 - I have NO IDEA - as it happened I told her not to invest in them, I thought it was a scam if I am honest. I appear to be wrong - it was not a scam - but I have no idea if she got an amazing return over the last 10 year, or if she lost money. I only remembered today when I watched this video.
